Historically, any side effects that have popped up for a vaccine have occurred within 2 months. Past that mark, historically, nothing new came to light.

All your friends must be in the minority.

"Yale NEJM Catalyst study, notes that by early January, about 90 percent of medical residents had chosen to get the vaccine right away."

Some estimates indicated physician acceptance of the vaccine to be above 95%. But I guess someone needs to be the "one" in the ad that says "9 in 10 doctors agree"

We have had 4 vaccine trials, Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, and now Novavax. There were over 147,000 volunteers, during the trials, there were 948 total cases of Covid from all 4 groups, ~90% of which were in the placebo group.

not for nothing, but that’s NOT 1913 deaths caused by the vaccines

from the CDC: Over 109 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through March 15, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 1,913 reports of death (0.0018%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. CDC and FDA physicians review each case report of death as soon as notified and CDC requests medical records to further assess reports. A review of available clinical information including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records revealed no evidence that vaccination contributed to patient deaths

Also out of that initial 109M, a large percentage were very old or sick. Do the math...

I have actually seen two media reports of deaths among the recently vaccinated which did not appear to be related to known existing conditions, so were either caused by the vaccine or were idiopathic. Stuff happens sometimes, with or without a vaccine.

So while I'm convinced the risk associated with the three vaccines deployed in the US is very low (exceptionally low for moderna/pfizer), I'm not convinced that the risk is absolutely zero. But it's apparently safer than flying, to say nothing of driving to work.

Even my mother, who passed away several years ago, was advised not to get a flu shot in the nursing home when she was very sick. She passed away about a month later. Good advice: don’t give a vaccine to a nursing home resident who is very near the end of their life. Their health is too fragile to handle it. It would do almost no good extending the person’s life.

My dad was in a similar situation while around the clock CNAs were caring for him at home. At Christmas, a decade ago, an experienced CNA took me aside. She said my dad was in the last 6 month of his life. He made it to March. Passed away peacefully, but she was correct.

should have stopped at 1 and it would have been a thoughtful post. But with #2, Now you get grouped with Phins and get read only for entertainment.

They actually accelerated the timeline and release of results. They certainly did not delay it. Trump and his son accused Pfizer of delaying the announcement but never provided a single fact to back that up. Pfizer released the data as soon as they reached the FDA mandated number of cases. The CEO of Pfizer was not even aware of the results prior to the election as there are strict protocols in these types of studies.

One guy is allegedly married to a MD and spouts nonstop nonsense from dubious sources like "people I know". Virus origin to Fauci credibility while he gets his MD for University of Google, Qanon campus. But for a government bailout and a vaccine, the company would be in bankruptcy.

But for a government bailout and a vaccine ALL the airlines would be in bankruptcy.

FIFY.
