I too turned down Anthrax. In our family history we have a few slaughtermen. They were prone to getting anthrax from I think pigs. There was so many strains around picking the right one for a vaccine would have been 'Vegas -lucky' so I figured I'd forgo the gamble.
That might not be such a bad thing if the anti-vaxxers refuse the vaccine then we may witness some actual Darwinism in action. Plus if they refuse it's more doses to share around the rest of the population.
Works both ways.
I'm of the same mind. I've spawned already so no concerns around birth defects in the future, I'm old enough to expect to live another 25-30 years realistically and if I don't, and quite honestly, what a ride its been, I have been exposed to numerous chemicals/fluids and gases in the RAF whose use is now banned for various medical/health reasons, my ex-colleagues have been dropping like flies recently (and only one of them older than me) and I have so many aches and pains from 'living my best life' that what's a few others to worry about?
Every cloud has a silver lining.
