One short term side effect is that it causes the same people to post the same thing over and over and over again.. :1rotfl:

It’s a matter of weighing the possibility of unknown bad side effects from the vaccine versus the certainty of known bad side effects from the disease.

Why can’t these 30, 40, 50 year-olds figure out that if they are vaccinated, they are protecting children — even — and especially — if they do not want their own kids vaccinated?

The more adults vaccinated, the more we protect children and let them get back to normal childhood life, including education alongside other kids — like in the “old days.”

Why are so many young adults unwilling to analyze risk vs. benefit and take the vaccination to insulate their children — who might not be vaccinated? Why can’t they see the compromise in adults taking the vaccine to protect children?

Children do not have a voice. Adults do.

The loss of a child leaves a longterm effect that never goes away — and the loss of a parent for a child leaves a longterm effect, too.

This needs to be said again. Thank you Boomer.

Considering the Delta variant is 1000 (ONE THOUSAND) times more transmissible than the original Covid-19 virus, chances are really good that an un-vaccinated person will contract the virus. In fact, I saw one resident physicians on MSM stated very confidently that anyone not vaccinated or has not been infected with Covid, WILL contract the Delta variant eventually.

It's a crap shoot. All un-vaccinated folks have to ask themselves, "Will I be a lucky one if I get this virus?"

And yet, almost every year or two we hear on the news of a new species of "killer bee" and all panic starts again.
Before subscribing to the mass hysteria that we continue to be inundated with by the media and politicians, think things out a bit before going off half-cocked.
We cannot know at this time whether or not there will be long term side effects. Most of us received the shots for a reason, many for self preservation and some of us to protect loved ones. It did not matter at the time whether or not there might be side effects. I do not fault those that refused based on their FEAR that there might be side effects. That's why I will not encourage or discourage getting this vaccination. IF the gov starts telling us that the new Delta is dangerous and that we need another shot, I probably will not get it. I see an upcoming election around the corner and I will suspect an alternative motive. Right or wrong in my reasoning, it will be MY choice, not someone else's. I will not accept the premise that we will be wearing masks for the rest of our lives. That is totally unacceptable. If that comes to fruition, then I will demand an investigation as to who might be responsible for this massive use of WMD. There is NO doubt that this pandemic originated in a lab. Accident or not, someone is responsible.
Long term side effects won't matter to most of us. But, how are you going to feel if you push your grandchildren to obtain the vaccination and they later find out that it causes mass sterilization? Just a hypothetical.
Hysteria can cause folks to make hasty and rash choices/decisions with negative results.
Just my opinion.

Even with the vaccine, some people get Covid. Big Pharma is trying to convince us that we will get less sick if we have the vaccine, but the chances of getting seriously ill are miniscule as it is. So, don't listen to Chicken Little and do the research.

Just my 2 cents.
