My gut on vaccines is that they are not a bad idea its just that a good vaccine like the kind Jonas Salk came up with for polio takes time to perfect.
I was vaccinated in the 1960’s with things that got a lot of testing and development before regular use.
Both sides can put up wild arguments on vaccines but I would say that there is much more to learn and maybe some wild statements later on down the road will have some truth in them based on research into the impact of the vaccines on humans.
Its safer to get vaxxed than the opposition contends but not as safe as the proponents say.
I saw ABC in Australia pushing vaccination on pregnant women a few days ago but a Russian doctor on TASS the other week said vaccination should only occur in the last trimester of pregnancy.
Vaccines are safe for pregnant women once the unborn child’s organs and body structure have developed was the Russian doctor’s message.

I’m a young woman who lived in Russia in my 20s and despite all its problems and Soviet echoes — I really found their doctors, pharmacists refreshing. Maybe because their geography lends itself to having a blend of East and West in their thinking?
And I trust their Covid shot, Sputnik (and their one dose Sputnik Light) most. They just don’t have the American marketing, execution, and Big Pharma supra-structure to back it up.
I wonder if the Russian doctor you mention believes all the shots are equally safe for women.
