I’m floored by all the comments on this thread that deal with side effects, effectiveness, and other subjects that are not the subject of this thread. The one “side effect” it deals with is the danger to the future of the human immune system.
But let me say this: I am still glad I had the first shot and will get the second, because I am pretty much along in years and if diseases come along that are harder to fight because of this one, I will isolate if I have to.
I understand what an emergency is. It was more important to get this thing out there at the time that it did get out there. I am glad by getting vaccinated I might have been able to slow the spread right now. It was a public-health emergency, and it’s possible some people will suffer farther on down the line. So I respect everyone’s decision, especially those who are younger than I am.

This article, written by Dr Mike Yeadon (former CSO and VP, Allergy and Respiratory Research Head with Pfizer Global R&D and co-Founder of Ziarco Pharma Ltd.) makes the point that we were falsely led to believe that there was a pandemic that constituted an emergency. There isn't sufficient risk to your health from Covid-19 to warrant the risks from the vaccines, particularly when safe, effective FDA approved drugs are available.
Dr. Yeadon suggests in his article that he expects the vaccines to be withdrawn from public use within 6 months of introduction.
