Yes so ignorant. lol BAHHH!!
Here's what makes you ignorant:

You imply that the vaccine would shorten your life. You haven't done extensive empirical studies yourself, so you're basing that statement on something else. The something you're basing the statement on can't be the actual studies that have been done, since those indicate something entirely different.

Two things are left, then. Anecdotal evidence and pseudoscience. Trusting either one of those over verifiable empirical studies is, quite frankly, incredibly stupid.

Even more stupid is your apparent distaste for science, since it indicates your complete ignorance of what science actually is.

But I'll stop discussing this with you. I wouldn't want to risk convincing you and ending up being the one responsible for your genes polluting the pool any further.
