    The questions are self explanatory.

    It was a no brainer for me. Whatever long term adverse risks there may be associated with the shot, they will not compare with the long term adverse risks associated with the virus. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects.html

    Then there is that horrible notion of dying basically alone, with your loved ones on a screen, trying to hear those last words through an audio system and the nursing staff holding your hand through layers a space suit.

    I had one very sore arm, some aches and a 100 degree fever for 1 day after the second shot. I don't have a worry in the world now. if they decide I need a booster, I will stand in line as long as I need to to get one.

    I heard from a reliable source that if you get the vaccine it will change your DNA.

    It is the messenger RNA that is changed.

    No, mRNA connects to and programs the cell nucleus to produce a spike protein. The J&J invades the nucleus directly to do the same. The problem associated with the first is prion production the later the possibility of developing cancers.

    Simple.

    I know two people who are Covid Long-Haulers. One will be paying medical bills for the rest of their life, the other
    has kidney damage. I don't know anyone who felt bad after the
    vaccine for more than a day.

    Is what it is.

    She and yes she does. 31% functioning at this point. The shot made her exhausted and it got worse so she got a blood panel. Renal failure.

    Option one only shows that most people who get vaccinated know nothing about the vaccination. The vaccination doesn’t stop it from spreading to others, it doesn’t stop you from contracting it. It helps you fight it but it gives no immunity to it which is why they still suggest the vaccinated wear masks ( because you can still spread it).

    I got vaccinated because I’m a smoker. Respiratory diseases could be hell for me. But my vaccination protects no one but me. I won’t wear masks because it is what it is at this point.

    I heard from a reliable source that the govco is putting tracking chips in the shots to track us.
    That why the American car company’s can’t get any chips for their new cars right now. All the materials and effort is being put into the tracking chips.

    How big of a chip can you put through a hypodermic? And how do you catch it out of the bottle when you stick the needle in?

    Kind of silly. Can’t blame the grocery shortages on the vaccines.

    What is the process by which the vaccine causes renal failure?

    I had the moderna vaccines even though I was fairly sure I had already had COVID. I was atypical in that the first one made me fairly sick for a couple weeks and the second one didn't do much to me. Tetnus shots make me ill too, just not as bad, so I am not sure if there is a nexus there. Anyway, as to why, there really were a myriad of reasons. Part of it was timing because I did not want the pfizer one at all and I didn't get the jabs until the moderna one was the dominant one being administered in my area. I had hoped originally for the Oxford one but that was so beset with problems I figured it was never coming here. Part of it was that even though work wasn't pressuring me, a co-worker is at high risk of having a negative outcome if she ever got the virus because of her sarcoidosis so I thought at the time getting the jab would reduce my chances of being a spreader to zero (which I no longer believe to be the case). Part of it was that I have a sibbling who works in a factory where a lot of people have had it, including deaths among them, that was very hesitant to get it, so I figured if I got the vax and didn't croak, maybe they would be less hesitant. Part of it was because I knew if we didn't get to a certain rate, my dumbass governor was never going to release us from masks and the over burdensome capacity rules that were slamming nails into the coffin lid of some local owned businesses.

    Did it primarily because I understand it boosts t cells and triggers them to fight foreign invaders. (Wished it would do that at the Southern border) Anyway I carry residule prostate cancer and figured it couldn't hurt. I don't demand others do it. No medicine is without risks.

    Apparently one big enough to track you.
