Oh, and let me add another reason you may be suspicious of this vaccine.
Do I trust the government, especially our compromised CDC, to give us the honest facts about this vaccine? I have to admit that the answer is no. After all, their opening shot was to hold back approval until after the 2020 Election.
I’m just going on my long term knowledge of vaccines and their development and the exponential spread of pandemic viruses to believe that the risks of the virus is greater than the risk of deep state fiddling with the results of the studies.
Risk to certain cohorts like obese, diabetic, elderly, hypertensive, etc being seen as greatest, but risk to young healthy individuals being low. I recommend vaccination to those at high risk, others can skip it and come by their immunity naturally.
Still, there is the long virus syndrome that even young people are susceptible to...risking that is something to consider.
What it comes down to for me is that I trust Moderna (the vaccine I got) more than I trust China. And my 90 y/o Mom is at high risk for COVID fatality, while my risk of eventually getting COVID at least bad enough to give it to her is fairly high. (I still believe a mildly symptomatic COVID case is more likely to spread the virus than a truly asymptomatic case.)
