There will always be a few with side effects some more serious than others.

Yes. The side effects of COVID itself are much, much worse. Even people who had asymptomatic cases can suffer long COVID. And long COVID can be serious, and it can last for a long time.

That, in itself, isn't unusual. Many viruses have sequelae, some of them alarming. Some victims of the 1918 flu later developed a form of Parkinsonism.

Way better to get the COVID vaccine--I had Moderna--and maybe feel shitty for a few days, as I did.

I do not and I truly appreciate the Shaj dialogue, he is very forthright and knowledgeable. I do feel that one of my strengths is conducting thorough research and then having the ability to navigate rhetoric and factual information.

Agreed that it is a shame we are basically forced to make difficult decisions with not a lot of time. Unprecedented times call for people to diverge from their normal courses which in itself is a challenge for many.

In this regard I feel that patience is a virtue on all fronts, some people need more time than others to evaluate their individual circumstances while also considering their obligations to society. It doesn’t categorize them as anti-anything it just means they are analytical and possibly a bit apprehensive.

I will most likely get vaccinated soon but I do want to understand as much as I can about the vaccines as well as long-haul COVID effects.

Ultimately I am of the opinion that everyone should be mutually respectful.
