For folks wanting COVID-19 vaccination but not wanting an mRNA vaccine, the Novavax vaccine should be authorized and available sometime in early May.

Darwin awards for all who take these vaccines.

Why pause when no one can have a bad effect or die from a COVID-19 vaccine?

It’s just “chance.” These people would have had these reactions in their arms and bodies if they hadn’t had the shot, because random chance says this should happen, anyway.

Besides, the CDC hasn’t investigated to say this was caused by any vaccine association, so any belief before then that the vaccine could have done anything is crazy.

Anyone who jumps into the shot show doom on you! I personally don’t want any of it and would never recommend it. The shot pushers and shot influencers on FR are especially obnoxious. I do what I want and you do what you will. Nothing is changing my mind.

I gave my horse some ivermectin.
He gave me a big face lick.
I yam immune now.

While death and hospitalization are certainly of serious concern, most of these "adverse reactions" don't sound that bad.

I had my second shingles shot about a month ago. The next day, I felt like I'd been hit by a truck. Flu-like symptoms, shoulders and knees hurt like hell. Did I have an "adverse reaction"? I don't know, but I didn't report it, and two days later I ran 3 miles.

Reported it to my doctor a couple of weeks later at my annual checkup. He didn't seem concerned.

A friend said "Sounds like you have a good immune system."

As noted prior, COVID-19 threads have a significant signal to noise ratio.

There’s enough sourced information out there for each person to make a data informed decision.

But at the end of the day, it is each person’s decision. And FReepers need to accept that.

Some of the worst offending issues are 1) mask wearing and 2) vaccines.
Good grief, people. Don’t get so wrapped around the axle that others don’t see COVID-19 issues the same as you or don’t make the same decisions as you.

Unfortunately, there are FReepers on both sides that seem to not only disagree with the “other sides” but also antagonize and make the issues personal with insults and threats. A flame war erupts, rendering the thread essentially useless.

Provide references for your positions and argue as politely as possible.

That’s all you can do.

Poison. I have a friend very ill after her second Moderna shot.

She also had a bad reaction to the first one. She listens to MSM.
