This is a great thread. Different points of view , yet respectful to one another. And I like how you all handled the bull in the China shop!
I've had both of my shots ( Pfizer ) no real issues , a sore arm where the shot was given.
Where I work ( XPO ) most people's opinion was against vaccination. Personally , I respect their decisions and don't tell anyone else what they should do.
We had a linehaul driver pass away (4/19/21 R.I.P. Ron Hicks ) after less than three weeks of battling Covid-19. He was 59. He never missed work with a lot of health issues and he quit smoking several years ago. He wasn't super overweight , and he didn't have a hard time getting around. He was your average 59 year old man.
My point is that if Covid-19 wasn't real and he didn't catch it , my friend would STILL be alive. He was scheduled to receive his first shot the Saturday he checked himself into the hospital ( he wasn't allowed to get the shot because he wasn't feeling well and unbeknownst to him , it was already too late )
Whatever you decide , please be careful and take the situation seriously and use FACTS to make the best choices for you and your loved ones.
Apologies for the long post.
