And in related yet unreported news, millions of Americans have gotten the Covid vaccine and barely even noticed it.
There are legitimate arguments both pro and con. I tend to side with those who think that a healthy person under the age of 50 has such an insignificant risk from the virus that it is not worth being vaccinated.
Medical doctors will tell you that for any given action on the human body there are a number of people who will have a very adverse reaction. I saw some adverse reactions to vaccination day in the military.
This was understood from the outset of Operation Warp Speed and it was the main reason that manufacturers were given immunity from lawsuits for the emergency usage.
Sadly, it appears our elected leaders continue to cling to the one-sized fits all approach that prioritizes some groups over others with little thought to age and health condition.
I am happy that my parents received the vaccine. They are high risk.
I am waiting for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. I am at lower risk.
My kids will NOT receive these vaccines and they can decide for themselves when they are adults.
With that being said, what is pissing me off more than anything is that we appear to be headed towards a Covid passport system where you have to be vaccinated for some travel or admission.
What I wrote above is rational and based on a fair assessment of risks vs reward. Our elected leaders have chosen the “one-sized fits all” approach for their own reasons.
that’s great..until you happen to have a bad reaction to a vaccine..which has happened to me with a “safe” vaccine. Now I have to go through the process of figuring out if it is safe to even get the Shingles shot. I am a long way from figuring that one out. I know no one will be able to answer whether it is or not and I will have to assess the risk versus reward and make a decision.
I certainly am not going to get it until I have much further work done..which may mean I have to use Directlabs to order more intricate test results.
Did you know the immune system has nothing to do with psoriasis. Yeah, I was told that by a medical professional last year with a Medical Degree. I knew at that point it was time to move on.
