That is a good summation but my own position is a little different.
It’s a risk versus reward. I don’t slam people who decide to get the vaccine.
For anyone with a known autoimmune disease ..or think you might have one...that research on COVID may help you since it mimicks some of the problems.
I have cinchona bark to use for Covid because it was used back in the Inca days for malaria
Low and behold..some of the wierdness with me last year that had me wondering if I had Covid is because I probably have something Covid Mimicks.
So as I wait to get the tests that get into more detail as to what....I took some Cinchona bark to try to help to see what it would do since HQC is used for lupus etc. It did help.
People have just got to do the best they can and roll with their decision and watch for the aftermath
Well stated.
We all make choices every day.
To work out or sit on the couch.
To eat a pizza or a salad.
To smoke or not to smoke.
Drink that beer or drink clean God made water.
The jab or no jab.
People truly are the sum of their decisions. Most choose poorly..
“I don’t slam people who decide to get the vaccine”
I don’t, either; their choice 100%. But I don’t want to be surrounded by them and their shedding, either.
I think you and I might be at similar positions on this.
I’m really impressed at how quickly the pharmaceutical companies were able to develop and roll out these vaccines.
I don’t *trust* how quickly they rolled out these vaccines.
Anybody who feels safer getting the jab, go for it! But between my body’s tendency to react to things in weird ways, and my fairly isolated lifestyle, I’ve calculated my risks. I believe I’m safer without it.
I’m pretty well stocked-up on herbal antivirals, OTC expectorants, and antihistamines. (Several studies on Pubmed show that antihistamines disrupt the feedback loop that would otherwise result in a cytokine storm.) I take small doses of elderberry and pleurisy-root extracts every day. If I start feeling symptoms of any kind of infection, I up the dosage to every 3 hours. That alone has been enough to knock out colds and flu most years.
Like you said, everybody has to just do the best they can. I wish my family felt the same, I’ve gotten some unbelievably clumsy manipulation attempts from them, trying to bully me into getting the shot. They never even tried discussing it logically.
