Is there a ranking of universities in racial science? Pic rel but it's for CS.

Should I get the fucking vaccine or not? I'm still in uni and its required that I get it for this Fall semester unless I come up with some religious excuse but I still have to wear a mask, get tested etc.

I'm 28 years old, workout 5-6 days a week, eat healthy, no underlying conditions and I'm pretty sure I already had it. I just see no point in getting it at the moment. I'm not an anti-vaccine person and the only reason I'm in STEM in the first place is because I got inspiration from Carl Sagan's Cosmos (I use to be one of those IFLS people). So yeah I support science and shit but damn the more time goes on it looks like science is like the new religion. In a ideal world scientists would selflessly work for the betterment of mankind free from the influence of the dollar bill, politics etc. But I realize we do not live in that world.

I'm just concerned that there hasn't been any long term studies on this vaccine and I feel like that is a very legitimate concern. The rebuttal I get for that are "It's science", "Trust scientists", "We're confident there will be no long term side effects". The best reasoning I read was something along the lines of "going by past vaccines negative side effects come about within a few months" but does that really follow for every vaccine here on afterwards?

I'll be glad to be set straight if there is something wrong with my reasoning here. Just kinda tempted to get the shot and be done with it.

Alright /sci/ since you're so smart what's the solution?

>>journalist: "Hospitalisation data not a reason to doubt the vaccine"
Wow, that's an impressive level of doublethink:
>vaccine's 96% effective
>60% of newly hospitalized were vaccinated
It literally does not compute unless you also claim cases are down by 90+% in which case Corona would be over entirely.

What is /sci/s take on Long Covid

Is it scientifically possible to use a similar amount of land to produce enough calories for the world?

I'm in the 20 to 30 years old age group, and it looks like my government might introduce vaccine pass mandates like in France. Given that my country has a pretty old population and they're the majority of voters, it's in politicians' interest to protect them from Covid, even if vaccines did more harm than good to young people. I'm more likely to die in a car crash than from Covid and we had a decrease in mortality in people under 50 last year, probably due to less people driving and less people working thus lower deaths at the workplace.
For these reasons I never even though about getting the vax. I know almost nothing about virology so the only thing I can look at to decide whether getting vaxxed makes sense is experimental results.

Are there any randomized and controlled studies showing a reduction in hospitalizations and deaths due to any cause for vaccinated people in my age group?
Covid deaths are inflated due to false positives and it's not possible to get an accurate count of deaths due to vaccine side effects given that not 100% of them are known, and it's not always possible to accurately establish causation. So the only numbers we can look at to determine whether vaccines are effective in my age group are deaths and hospitalizations in general for the two groups.
