Have/would you take the Covid vaccine?

COVID-19 medical misinformation policy - YouTube Help

YouTube doesn't allow content about COVID-19 that poses a serious risk of egregious harm.

YouTube doesn't allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts local health authorities’ or the World Health Organization’s (WHO) medical information about COVID-19. This is limited to content that contradicts WHO or local health authorities’ guidance on:

• Treatment
• Prevention
• Diagnosis
• Transmission
• Social distancing and self isolation guidelines
• The existence of COVID-19

 

I got mine in Feb, Pfizer. Almost no side effects at all. The data shows that only a small portion out of millions who have taken the vaccine have gotten bad effects.

 

For those that aren't aware, once you take the vaccine you have the option to sign up for a self reporting system where you get texts asking about your condition each day for a while, and you can specify your symptoms and their severity.

 

Except for a tetanus shot every so often, I haven't had a vaccine since I resigned from the U.S. Naval Reserves in 1997.
Similar to my attitude about "flu shots", I have no plans to get any of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

I've been exposed to people who have had it ( I have even been within 3-4 feet of someone at my workplace who didn't show up for work the very next day, and within 3 days tested positive for it ), have come down with similar symptoms twice and have personally tested negative twice in the past 3 months.

That said,
I'll trust the Lord to keep me in good health until it's time to go, or until my own immune system decides it's time for a little help.

 

I haven't yet taken it, but my Primary Care Physician did suggest I do. My own situation is that I'm basically a shut-in & don't usually go outside on any regular basis except for therapy treatments & things like that. I'm so thankful for my local church who serves this almost 75 YO single, never been married "Eunuch for the Kingdom's Sake," (See Matthew 19) that Jesus mentioned. I know my situation is a usual one, but I'm content with it (Last Friday was my 55th REbirthday.) I as a very severely physically-handicapped shut-in my contact with the outside world is somewhat limited. I wear a mask when I'm outside just to keep me from giving/getting any more diseases than I already do have. I don't seek a pity party, just realize the condition I'm in & leave at that. God doesn't seem to want to heal me completely so far, and it doesn't really bother me. If He wants me to stay this way during my time here on terra firma, fine. I've got Jesus as my Brother, the Holy Spirit as my Comforter, His Word as my guide, and a future that's out of this world. That's much more than those who've won Publisher's Clearing House's $i,000.00 per day cause the goverment(s) can't take THAT away....try as they might!!

 

I got my 1st Moderna a few weeks back. 2nd dose on May 10th. I am growing a 3rd nipple...

Truth is, this is a no brainer for me. I take the vaccine and I am protected from Covid, or the vaccine kills me and I go to heaven.
I have a number of friends who got Covid and were miserable for a couple weeks. Not fun at all.
I do not begrudge anyone who doesn't want it. Follow your conscience. I extend grace.

 

I voted "other," which in my case is just a no I do not plan to get it -- but without the qualifiers of "it's dangerous" or "there's not enough info yet."

 

Almost no side effects at all.

Would you care to elaborate?

 

Sore arm, headache one day.

 

When I saw this post, I thought of the following blog post that I read. It is related to the subject of this post, but I thought it would be to distracting to the OP to discuss it here. So I created the following thread:
Why I Got Vaccinated for COVID (originally written by Thomas Ross)

Maybe some of you here will take a look over there also. Thanks.

 

There is evidence I’ve seen reporting that well over 3000 people in the US that have died after getting the vaccines. Also people with cancer that take chemo should be cautious. It appears that the chemo renders the vaccine inert.

Lastly the vaccine is made from aborted fetus stem cells. Why would any Christian want to go down that path.

 

Goofed again!! My post SHOULD read: "I know my situation probably isn't your usual one...." Guess that's what a person whose home state is next to NY.....Right, Salty??!!??

 

3,000 people out of millions is a very small percentage. Do you people not know how clinical trials work.....? Ever looked up the potentially serious side effects to medications you're on? I take Metformin, and my mom begged me not to go on that drug cuz she read that some rare side effects for it is seizures, coma, and death.
In many cases they're listed as a simple precaution/"covering their butt", whether or not the effects were a result of the medication.
Add to it that the self reporting system in use this time around, you're gonna get reports that could be associated with the vaccs, or could not be. I reported my trip to the ER even though that was most likely caused by my diabetes and blood sugar, just in case the vacc contributed to it (which is highly unlikely)

 

I enrolled I'm the Novavax trial. They just started crossover shots, so I've either had both doses in February or I get my second in a few weeks.

I was pretty sure I was in the placebo group in February, as I had zero side effects. Not even a sore arm. But I'm not so sure now, as round 2 has been side effect free as well, so far.
