It seemed pretty clear to me and I am not a medical person. I had the choice to take a chance on the vaccine offered to me or take a chance on pretty bad odds of dying if I caught it, due to my age. At my age, roughly one in ten were dying of Covid-19.
Since I am 81 I wasn't at all worried about the long term effects of the vaccine.
I may have viewed it far differently had I been of child bearing age.
I am grateful for the Moderna that my husband and I took and the Pfizer that our Helene took and the fact that our grandchildren and daughter and son in law were also vaccinated.
At no time was I FEARful. I had the choice to self isolate and I had some boon companions. I also had plenty of things to do to occupy my mind and to enjoy. I must admit I was so happy when the news came that we could get the vaccine.
Sometimes we have to decide to trust others. I see NO reason by the Center for Disease Control would have an agenda to harm us. Dr. Fauci is well known and respected in his field and has served under both parties and respected by both until this one.
I did a little reading and the initial person chosen as director of National Public Health was criticized during the pandemic in the early 1900's for sounding the alarm that ships were coming into San Francisco with dead people aboard and he said that something new was killing these people. He was the recipient of many scathing attacks from those in power in Washington D.C. at the time.
I will try to find that article again.
