do you know who is the perfect example of somebody that is in a high enough risk category that they ought to be given the opportunity to make an autonomous choice about their body and their health?
donald trump.
he's
i'm not saying he should take the russian vaccine, although i'd love to see the media coverage around it. but, i would suggest that it's probably a better idea, as a prophylactic, than hydroxycholoroquine.
it would be hilarious if trump took the russian version, but there are non-russian vaccine candidates that are ready for or already in phase III trials.
is there some chance he could get sick and die from the untested vaccine? sure. 2%. 5%. those numbers are in the "easy to trick yourself" range, as they look small but really aren't. complication numbers for tested vaccines are going to be <<1%.
but, if he gets it, he has close to a 10% chance of dying.
he should have the right to weigh that risk himself, not be told what to do by the state. or fauci, as it may be.
