As for your earlier question about reports of potential long term adverse reactions to the vaccines, I've read a few over the last few weeks and they all, such as the one that follows, basically say we can't make a determination yet.
I'm also careful not to needlessly scare anyone who's been vaccinated. We've been scared enough over the last 14 months. We don't need people worrying over something just to find out the worry was in vain. That said, there is a good bit of gloom and doom on Youtube about the vaccines, but I don't know how reliable it is.
I came across an article a week or so ago from "A Reliable Source" and I regret I didn't save it. It talked about how the vaccine may cause an immune response that could damage vital organs if one is exposed to Covid post-inoculation. I'm not sure if that's the same as ADE. It would be great if one of the professionals on this board could weigh in on this claim.
The ADE article you posted was encouraging. It's articles like that that make the decision a little easier...that and thoughts of cruises and concerts on the horizon.

That sounds exactly like what was happening to many Covid Positive patients early on. Their immune systems launched an "over response" (if that is even a phrase but you get what I mean) to the pathogen and they were having multiple organ failures leading to their deaths. Hopefully, by now, there are treatments to prevent this from occurring but I really don't know that for sure.
As for getting back to our normal lives, hubby and I are looking forward to the day we step foot on a cruise ship again. We really miss cruising.
