### The mRNA vaccine fails to reduce your all cause mortality. Knowing
this, would you still opt to take it? If it can't save your life, what for?

### No change in viral spread proven after vaccination. And why would you
want to reduce the spread anyway? You can't eliminate the virus. Everybody
in the population gets eventually infected with all highly
infectious endemic viruses. Attempting to reduce the spread will not stop
anybody from being infected, at most it will delay the infection - so why
should you try?

### Never getting infected, as can be achieved through a lifelong
lockdown in complete isolation from the rest of humanity, indeed offers
better survival odds in relationship to the Wuhan virus infection - the
lifelong lockdown offers zero Covid mortality while exposure to the virus
is associated with 0.1% mortality (depending on how you slice the data).
Would you seriously consider living in lockdown for the rest of your life
to avoid this 0.1% risk? Do you have enough money to do that? And of course
lifelong lockdown greatly increases your risks of dying from a lot of other
causes, so the net effect of lifelong lockdown is a large net increase in
mortality. Why would you even mention this idea?
