Health and longevity
According to some studies, since the late 19th century, the population of the developed world seems to have made a Faustian pact to fool the aging process. In just a few generations, life expectancy gained an additional 30 years. By this time, more and more people are able to see their grandkids grow old. Now is common for an individual to live a long retirement (if you have resources). But in Faust-like fashion, there’s always a price to pay.

Receiving The Covid Vaccine or Not
Vaccination is an easy, efficient, and medically proven method for protecting the human body against harmful diseases before contraction. Together with the body’s defense antibodies, vaccinations build resistance to specific infections and improve the immune system. Vaccines train the body to create a robust immune system by developing potent antibodies. They kill bacterial and viral infections in the body, and they do not cause any harm to the body of the recipient. COVID-19 vaccines work in the same manner. Medical professionals use vaccines to prevent or protect someone from being infected with a virus. They contain antibodies that will fight the virus and prevent it from spreading throughout the body (Sadarangani et al. 2021). Viruses do not have a cure; only vaccines can contain them. These vaccines reduce the risk of the virus spreading throughout a population and infecting large numbers of people. However, spurious claims have recently emerged that there are side effects of being injected with the vaccine. Some argue that people should decline the vaccine. Such arguments are without merit since most medical professionals attest that the vaccine is effective and safe. Furthermore, many scientific studies support the same conclusion.
