You are probably right. I'll wait. Edit: I am vaccinated against everything under the sun (except this), kids all vaccinated, grandkids too. Son in law the only family member I know of who's vaccinated against this, he's got diabetes and some other blood thing they can't figure out. "I saw people die" is not a good argument when there may or may not be a withheld treatment, or when the intention is for people to die (nursing homes), or when something similar to a vaccine (in that it tickles the immune system) is called a vaccine and any discussion of it is quashed. An informed consumer would have a robust debate among medical pros to follow and decide. An ethical medical pro would spell out the risk/reward situation. Too much monkey business. Smells bad. This is not my brain on drugs.

It is true, isn't it, that this is the first time mRNA technology been used in humans? On the scale of EVERY ONE IN THE WORLD. 2018 is like yesterday to me. The danger hypothesis from some very impressively credentialed scientists says it could take years for the negative consequences to show up. Like everything in life the decision to take vaccine is a weighing of risks and benefits based on woefully inadequate information. I chose to get it. I completely respect the decision of others not to, I hope they are not discriminated against for it.

>> Tony Fauci and people like him still keep confusing the crap out of everything they touch. It is sort of inexplicable to me, but one possible explanation might be that he has been in the limelight off and on for so many years he just sort of mechanically acts to make himself stay relevant to the lives of people. But we have to face the fact that he has blatantly lied to the American People time and time again throughout this ordeal, just about masks alone. There's no reason for common people to wear masks, you must wear a mask, but only one made of an old T-Shirt, wear surgical masks, if you're gonna wear a mask wear N/KN95, it is ridiculous. And still there are people who picked one his alternatives and went with it. Kari Mullis was ridiculed over his take on HIV/AIDs. But he personified the Scientific Method and honesty in science (imo). Hell, the man was strong enough to say his own technique, for which he won the Nobel/Chem, had limits in applicability. But Fauci was unwilling to debate the AIDS/HIV the issue publicly. I don't know who is right or wrong, but why are these people afraid to have the discussion?
