You make a good point. There is no good reason for young people who have may have even slightly weird medical histories to get these shots. My conclusion is that people with immune systems that are a little wonky are at much greater risk from the experimental vaccines. Yet they are being coerced to ignore this.
Both my mother and my little brother had severe problems after getting the shots. My mother had the Pfizer and my brother had the Moderna.
My mom is in her mid 80s and went from being active and going to the YMCA every day with my dad to being an invalid who has been in a great deal of pain and can't make it to the master bathroom a few feet from her bed without assistance. This has been going on for months now. Sometimes it seems like she is getting a little better and then she is right back to being a total mess. I am surprised that she is still alive. Every one including her doctors have though that she is going to die.
My little brother has been an airline captain for a major airline for many years. He is in his mid 50s. He was compelled to get the shots by his employer. He started feeling under the weather after the shots. He has to get an FAA medical every six months and when he went in, the “flight surgeon” found that his heart was swollen and inflamed. After a couple of months and multiple tests he is feeling better and now allowed to fly again, but he still has to have further tests and this still may end his career early.
Neither my mom or my brother had any real co-morbidities, but every one in my family has had a history of arthritis, thyroid problems and high blood pressure. My wife and I both have allergy problems and severe reactions to various medications. She is deathly allergic to seafood and nearly died on one occasion when her airway swelled up and she couldn't breath. Only a trip to the emergency room saved her. She has had other life threatening reactions to medications as well.
Another relative who is a virtue signaling high ranking officer in the military was staying with us recently and he argued that we both “needed” to get the shots any way. When a person has a medical history that includes bad reactions to various substances and medications that indicate that their immune system is a little wonky. And then in my case two close relatives who both had bad reactions to the shots... That should be taken into account when making a reasoned assessment of whether one should getting these experimental “vaccines”. I am not sure why that concept is so difficult for many to understand. Those who choose to get the vaccines should just be happy that they are now safe from Covid and leave the rest of us the hell alone. Let us make our own decisions!
I agree fully. Medical decisions should be made on an individual basis. Though, historically when it comes to contagious diseases very often societal concerns have taken priority. So this is not the first time things have been somewhat off.
From both the point of the individual and the society as a whole the important thing is that the risk groups are protected. We know who they are, and then quite a few people decide to get vaccinated even though they may not have to (from a risk/benefit perspective). That should be enough to reach that much discussed ”herd immunity”.
As I wrote before, the really bad thing is that our regulatory agencies (including the medical associations) make it almost impossible to properly treat people early in the disease with apropriate medication. That would have been the second leg used to handle this infection. (Vaccination and intensive care regimes being the other two legs.)
All the best to your family. Hope your mother and brother recover fully.
