The research is clear it doesn’t reduce transmissibility.

The other thing for certain is that WHO and CDC made numerous claims about the vaxxx that were proven to be untrue. Those of us who exercised reasonable discretion siding against were mocked and attacked despite being mostly correct.

For me, it was simple. I am old (67 when the pandemic hit), I have a history of lung issues (stupid me, I'm a smoker), and I was living in the Philippines where the medical infrastructure is fragile at best. Within the definition of reasonable discretion is the assumption that the individual gets to determine what constitutes reasonable discretion. I did that, it truly did not impact anyone other than myself, and I moved on.
