Does it probably help enough for the risk to outweigh the reward?
Maybe in the short term.. Probably in the short term.. Yes..
It does seem these experimental gene therapies probably do help protect from these symptoms, for about 4-6 months..
Then you have to have more experimental gene therapy for it to keep working.. “boosters”
2 to start and then another booster every 6 months FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE..
Now..
Is the risk of one shot better than the risk of Covid?
2 shots?
Ok maybe..
3 shots?
4 shots?
10 shots?
21 shots in the next 10 years?
So what next?
What if you get boosters twice a year for the next 5 years, and then stop?
Are ya fucked?
Who knows..
They do not know..
And funny enough, they won't consider you "fully vaccinated" until you get the boosters either.
See Israel introducing green passes, as a stricter form of their vaccine passport, in which you are only considered to be fully vaxxed if you get the booster -

The need for boosters or any side effects aren't well studied, and yet the expectation is to keep receiving these boosters so you can maintain your vaccine passport "vaccinated" status.
