I was lucky enough to watch my father die slowly over 16 years in misery after saving a fool's life at work. The spinal damage ruined his health. I would rather starve than risk that. So I get your position. People without the benefit of this life experience fixate on dropping dead and take the gamble, but they conveniently (and it is for convenience) forget the more likely scenario of health failure from auto immune disease. After all, the immune system reacting to the injections is exactly how it is supposed to work.
But even if I'm in the ideal situation (I'm not) informed, independent and prepared, I must act for my less intellectually fortunate fellow humans. I have a duty to try to save them and the fact is, once they've got everyone else they will come for you. The only ethical position in my mind is to learn to stay free like you have and teach others, attempt to work with the broken system and be ready for when it becomes clear to everyone else that it doesn't work.
That's the purpose of the laborious breaking down of each factor. Working with the people who claim to believe 'the science'.
Who fantasise we make decisions logically. LOL.
But I don't think you'd be here if you genuinely believed this to be a non issue. I think it's possible to know that people are actively attempting to kill you without having to diminish the problem in order to live with it. After all, they've been doing it a long time. In the last century they've never not been trying to kill you one way or another. It speaks to our resilience and general reluctance to go around murdering each other that we're still around today, fighting this fight.
