Doctors can't seem to agree on the virus or the vaccinations. The scientists can't seem to agree on either. The CDC did not recommend the vaccination for young children but the gov is pushing the shots for school attendance none the less. There are vaccine studies showing possible serious heart damage by the vaccines, but death by CV19 is about the same percentage of chance. An adult getting the vaccine has about the same chance of dying of infection as a young school age child, yet the system is mandating masks for children in school but the adults can opt out. Latest news says the infection rate has peaked and is going down again. We have folks on here that have gotten the Moderna "booster" shot even though it has not been approved yet, for a third shot. Scientists said that Moderna has a longer (longevity) than Pfizer or J&J so a third shot is not yet needed. But that doesn't hinder the hysterical on here that have already rushed out and gotten their third Moderna shot. After all, more is better...right? Let's all double up on medicines, since more is better.
Personally, I am not even considering a third shot at this time. I got my vaccinations ONLY for my spouse and now she is considering NOT getting a booster when offered. We know almost two dozen covid survivors that only suffered cold like symptoms, so the chance of having serious side effects from the vaccine seem to be about equal with dying from covid. Just our opinion, not to be construed as a suggestion or endorsement one way or another.
Confusion seems to abound on public information. No guarantees, of course.
But, keep the conversation going because maybe some of us will be convinced to change our views.
