I wonder if there was this much hostility to the polio vaccine when it came out. My mom had polio and I got the shot as soon as it was available.

I haven't had the flu since I was a kid but I get a shot every fall. I know it's only 50% effective or so but it's free.

I got the shingles vaccine, both the old and new one. My brother had shingles not long ago and was miserable for quite a while.

I got the Hepatitis A & B vaccine. Before COVID I traveled alot and my doctor recommended it.

I've had both pneumonia shots that supposedly give lifetime immunity to those over 65.

I've had the first 4 covid shots and I'll get the booster soon. It seems to help more people than it hurts.

Haven't been sick in years. Maybe it's luck. Maybe the vaccines help. I'll keep trusting the medical profession. I expect they know more than people who aren't in the business.
