"If there is hope it lies in the proles" - George Orwell, 1984
He said he doesn't have the background to understand or weigh up the risks of the vaccine. So he has to trust the experts. In his life time he was told working with asbestos was safe. Then he watched his father die from it. He knows his exposure was high and worries he will suffer the same fate. He knows that they're different experts in a different time but he doesn't like trusting others with his health anymore. Now he has to be vaccinated to work and go most places he enjoys. There was a sadness in his eyes that I've not seen before.
I read the abstract and conclusion from the preprint listing before reading the comments here. I was hoping for something beyond "dumb ppl no vax" and here it is.
I'm glad he got vaccinated. God bless him and thank you very much.
