We’re still looking for answers.
I’m not trying to say that you definitely need the vaccine if you’ve had COVID, but people should understand that we still don’t have scientific answers to many of these questions before deciding that they necessarily don’t.
DAL guy here... I hope it is OK that I crash this particular party as we have similar ongoing discussions going on and it is nice to get other perspectives. So... How do you know that you won't have an adverse reaction to the vaccines if you HAVE had ChinaFlu? If that is a non factor, why did the drug companies get complete liability waivers for them? What about other 'maladies' that have not been considered and if adverse reactions occur? For example what if you had A-fib before... AND had ChinaFlu? How do you know that the vaccines would not cause a bad reaction for you? What if you have asthma? or sleep apnea? or any of a myriad other 'normal' afflictions that are not life threatening but are unknown in terms of interaction with an experimental treatment?
You are correct. They don't have scientific answers.
