“The researchers say that in combination with strong adaptive immune responses, the reprogramming of innate responses COULD either CONTRIBUTE to a more balanced inflammatory reaction to SARS-CoV-2 infection OR a weakened innate immune response.”
It COULD BE the next ED medicine for all we know. Point is it needs to be studied.
COVID has taken a toll on my family, friends, and co-workers. In the last week a 59 year old who works for me was hospitalized. Another co-worker, a 41 year old, “felt like I was going to die”.
ALL I know is I don’t want to be the LAST person to die from COVID and I don’t consider getting this vaccine in the top 100 riskiest things I’ve done in my life.
“I don’t consider getting this vaccine in the top 100 riskiest things I’ve done in my life.”
We are all at different places in life. I, too, know many who have had COVID. Most all I know came through with no scars. Sorta like the flu. I have known people who caught the flu and they developed pneumonia and ended up in the hospital but most were just very sick.
I understand your view. My view is about 180 degrees from yours. I am in remission from blood cancer. Cancer and the treatment have destroyed my immune system.
I don’t trust that we know all there is to know about this experimental vaccine — especially mRNA which has never been used on this scale. I want to stay in remission and do not want to take a chance with an experimental drug that might screw that up.
For people in my age group, there is a 99.5% of not dying from COVID. Plus the manufacturers, the government, and even my doctors have never told me that the vaccine will likely not work for anyone with a compromised immune system. That’s me and millions more. What else do we not know?? My guess is more. Maybe much more.
I agree there needs to be more studies. Actually, that should have already happened before the drug was rolled out — not after.
