Well, keep in mind that after the human trials (on most of the US population and much of the world) are finished, you can always decide to get the shot if that's what you want. However, if you get the shot now and find out later (when the trials are done) that there is a major downside, you can't "un-get" it.
.
By the way, it has been determined now that I had COVID-19 in February 2020 (anti-body test). My experience was a short flu-like event; fever for 2-3 days. Did not lose smell / taste. No lasting effects of any kind. Apparently, my wife was also infected but had no symptoms then or later. So, while the FDA / CDC / NIH / blah blah blah will not say that survivors continue to have immunity, I think the fact that I have been around many infected people over the last 16 months speaks for itself. Spent 6 hours in a car with my wife's sister (who we later learned was infected at the time) and did not get re-infected ourselves. I'm quite sure we are immune. I'm 64, wife is 60.

And, I don't give any weight to the "asymptomatic spreader" message. The common flu and common cold can also be acquired from someone without symptoms; and, yes, the common flu can and does KILL every year. I never got the annual flu shot and never ever got the flu. I also don't remember anyone ever pressuring me to get a flu shot or trying to guilt me into doing so "for others"; or calling me selfish for not getting a flu shot. It's just nonsense. Look around at all the people who got the shot and still think they are at risk from this thing - they wear masks while alone in the car; they insist others get the shot when they themselves are theoretically protected; they worry about wearing a mask (themselves & others); they won't get on a cruise ship unless every plays by their rules; they are indoctrinated. I refuse to be indoctrinated.

To paraphrase one of my favorite people: "If you are vaccinated, act like it".

Sounds like an "Urban Legend" to me.

Did you know that?

It is economically obvious. If chiropractors did NOT fill a need no one would pay them and they would cease to exist. I could accuse you of elitism but that would be TOO EASY. And I don't want to go all middle school with insults. PLEASE! Chiropractors fill a void between nurses and doctors for many MILLIONS of people through the years. I doubt that they would insult you, as you did them?

I'm sure that's true of the population in general. However, when you get down to the patients that are complaining of subjective symptoms and "can't work", you are down to a few legitimate cases and a whole bunch who are looking for secondary gain. I've been through this game a thousand times.

Thanks but NO thanks. I will concede your obvious medical terminology superiority - if you will CONCEDE that I have NO reason to LIE, when I say that what I said about hearts and lungs - I got from conventional, well-respected TV channels. It was on more than once.
