You might not get severely sick, so they say, yet fully vaccinated are dying and ending up in the hospital. You cannot adequately put forward an argument to persons to get vaccinated if you're only addressing one end in a debate. I have not yet seen or heard any of our doctors or health minister evenly balance this scale. So to me, unless you are going to address pros and cons, persons will always be reluctant and distrust your motives. Present both sides and maybe, Minister, your results might convince those up in the air. I for one will not be taking no experimental jab in my body. And also, ask those bosses if they would take liability in the event I get sick or severe reaction from the vaccine, will they sign off to cover my medical bills or take care of my kids. I bet not. As I say balance the scale
