I got my 2nd vaccine (Moderna) 2 weeks ago today, so I should be good to go.
Sorry, I’ll take a gunshot before I get a Covid vaccine!
The problem with all of these coronavirus vaccines is that none of them have been tested for effectiveness against live viruses. The last time a vaccine was developed for corona-like virus was around 1963. RSV was a virus children would catch and cause upper respiratory infections. A vaccine was pushed through and they SKIPPED ANIMAL TESTING and went straight to human trials. Over 80% of the children that received the vaccine got infected with RSV and they got much sicker than they would have had they never been vaccinated. Some of those children died!
The reason for this is ADE (antibody-dependent enhancement). This is where the antibodies produced don’t neutralize (kill) the virus. Remember, traditional vaccines use fragments from the virus. So your immune system attacks the virus but mostly where the recognized fragment is. Very often this limits or totally disables the antibodies from killing the virus. So these antibodies remain attached to the virus. This tricks your cells into letting the virus enter because it detects your antibodies instead of the virus. From there, the virus replicates and becomes DEADLIER! Every attempt to make a coronavirus vaccine since that date has FAILED from the same consequences!! No vaccine was ever made for Sars-CoV-1 (SARS) for this very reason.
Every attempt they made to create a vaccine for SARS resulted in all the lab animals DYING when they were exposed to the live virus. That is the reason for the new mRNA technology. Rather than treat you with a viral fragment, they reprogram your immune system with gene therapy. This all but eliminates the possibility of ADE occurring, but no one knows what the long term consequences will be. Will this cause autoimmune diseases like RA or MS? I’d be VERY concerned about getting a conventional coronavirus vaccine knowing the history and the 100% failures of past coronavirus vaccines. Especially if it came from CHINA!!
Husband and I are barely 50+, healthy, non-essential workers, and yet I easily snagged two vaccine appts for next week. (even in disorganized CA) Go USA!

You could probably start eating bowls of COVID. Maybe you could be the first out on the market, with a COVID cookbook.
