And, speaking of further research, I've been reading about spike proteins. These are the little critters the vaccines make that trick your cells into making antibodies. There is considerable literature out there making me very leery about getting the booster. Apparently these proteins have the ability to cross the blood/brain barrier. They also can effect your DNA, immune system and the genetic material that slows the aging process. All of this has potential for adverse effects.

I really want the vaccine to be safe but I'm beginning to wonder. Almost wish I would come down with COVID so my body would create natural antibodies. Far out there, I know but I'm healthy and really not afraid of this disease.
This type of argument always amazes me. One is afraid of proteins having the ability to cross barriers… so what? I’m not sure what that implies… but not afraid of the virus which is known to cause death. What can be more scary than dying a painful, prolonged, lonely death? Or living with very reduced quality of life after long haul Covid?
I guess each of us chooses what they are afraid of.
