All the adults got the shot, but I’m drawing the line at my kids.
We didn't get vaccinated just to stay infection-free—I'm realistic enough to know we'll all end up catching COVID sooner or later. For me, it was about avoiding the heavy stuff and death. My parents are older and have health issues, so they were especially careful to get vaccinated to lower their risk of a fatal outcome. It was also about lowering the chance that I'd pass it on to them while trying to protect myself.
From what I can see, kids aren't seeing high death rates. I haven't heard anything about massive numbers of severe complications among them, so I don't think they need the vaccine right now.
So, I'm not one of those people claiming vaccination prevents you from getting infected. We're protecting ourselves against worse outcomes.
And no, I don't consider mRNA to be gene therapy. Besides, there are other types of vaccines out there besides mRNA.
I suggest reading at least points 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27:
