Yes, that was one of many very interesting aspects discussed today with some very interesting doctors, not connected to our government CDC or the WHO, very cogent analysis is that may not be the way to "vaccine shop"....that we should all consider more of the variables and not efficacy if we don't have the background and be sure to discuss on individual basis with own doctor. One noted doctor said, lol, that would be like choosing a new car solely based on color .... I chucked but, actually a very intuitive observation !
