I feel bad for the people caught up in the battle between vaxx or don't vaxx who don't know who to believe. I'd suggest Googling "covid deaths " then put in red, blue, GOP, Dem etc and read through the articles that come up. Death rates in Red states are much higher than Blue states. Why is that? Here is a good, balanced report.
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/heal...es-higher-republicans-democrats-why-rcna50883. Here's some facts:
1. Vaccines help, masks help, distancing helps, but NO Vaccine is 100% effective.
2. Dose of virus matters. If you are in very close contact with a person who is taking no precautions, is at the peak of infectiousness and has a version of Covid that is very contagious - your likelihood of getting sick is very high, even being fully vaxxed and wearing an N95 mask.
3. Genetics, age, sex, health, etc all play a role! How strong is your immune system? Many people have Covid and no symptoms, while others die.
4. ALL VAXX HAVE RISKS. EVERY SINGLE ONE that you've had in your life! Whether you have a severe reaction to ANY Vaxx depends on #3.
Vaccines save billions of lives a year all around the world and have since well before 1796 when Dr Jenner started vaxxing people for smallpox.
What we are seeing now with the anti-vaxx movement is a culling of the human gene pool. Some anti-vaxxers will live through getting Covid repeatedly, but many, many will die. Those that do survive this culling have the genetics to not get mortally sick from this ONE disease.
Only you can decide whether you want to take the infinitesimally small chance that you will have a severe reaction to what is an obviously safe vaccine for hundreds of millions of people worldwide OR whether you will risk getting a possibly severe case of Covid which has killed millions of people, even here in the US.
I have MCAS, ME/CFS (mild), POTS, viruses, etc, etc. Do I feel crummy for 2-4 days after a Covid vaxx? Yes. But I no long term issues from the vaxx even with genetic predisposition to possible issues. I've done Pfizer and Moderna. FYI The worst vaxx by far was the shingles vaxx #2. I'm not sure I'd get a #3. I hope you make the right decision! Good luck!
