What was the trick? Licking old ladies in nursing homes? Lol

Not until we have a lot more data.

Flu vaccine has almost killed me 3x.

I had very bad reactions to a rushed into production Anthrax vaccine, and I will have health issues the rest of my life because of those reactions.

No thanks.

Had Covid. It was a mild cold.

And I'm in my 40s with a fair amount of medical issues.

Got shot one 3 weeks ago on account of my side hustle. It was uneventful.

Honestly, personal history of problems with vaccines is a good reason to sit it out, at least for a while.

That said, one of my wife s colleagues had an allergic reaction (and she has a history). They gave her a small dose of Benadryl and then she was fine. If allergies are an issue, I suggest getting the vaccine at a hospital and hanging out there afterward for a good while.

Both my wife and I were required to wait around for 15 minutes after.

No thanks. I don’t see a need to receive a vaccine that has a 90% efficacy rate for a virus with an over 99% survival rate for those under the age of 70. Until there is more data over time regarding possible long term effects of the vaccine, I’m gonna pass. But thats my personal choice. Besides, already had COVID and only symptoms were fatigue and loss of appetite.

If I had a history of allergic reactions, I d wait a little longer, and also be taking it at a hospital, which is where most of them have been administered so far anyway, but it will ne increasingly an option to get ot at small clinics and pharmacies.

I personally dont have a history so I will be taking first option, wherever that is.
