It is your choice if you vaccinate or not. Having said that, not everything has to do with patriarchy or even humans.

Viruses happen to all species. To other animals too. And have more to do with evolution than economy.

I agree with you about how capitalist values are bad for the environment and the planet. It is not sustainable and we are starting to see the consequences.

Vaccines have been handled poorly due to pharmacological lobbies. True.

But having said that, vaccines do work. People who vaccinate are less likely to get the virus and when they do, they have fewer symptoms and are not as severe as people who don't. That is a fact.

So while I would understand complaints about vaccines not being tested on women and symptoms in women being overlooked, vaccines are still the lesser evil.

There is plenty of things to be angry at "our" leaders. But viruses are not their doing or under their control. From an economic perspective, it is clear that they would prefer for the pandemic to end, so it is unlikely that they won't fix this problem if they could. I think it is better to only blame them for all the things that they have done or are under their control, not the ones from the natural world.

It is your choice, but one I don't share. I'm vaccinated and perfectly healthy. Also, I get to go out without fear and even visit my grandparents. For me, it is worth it.
