Which vaccine? They aren't all the same.Scheduled to get my Covid Vax today.
Still not sure if I should do so.
I would sincerely appreciate any physician's opinions.
Thanks

If you are a medical doctor why are you staying at a Holiday Inn Express? SHouldn't you have a lot more money to afford a better hotel?I am 65 and strongly suggest you take the vaccine. Based on my medical training and expertise, it is a wise thing to do. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Yep. And what about all those commercials saying Xantac caused cancer?If you are a young female or male and plan to have children, it would require much more research on my part. In the 50s there were morning sickness drugs that looked safe before they weren't many years later. There are groups where the Covid is more dangerous than the vax, but there are groups that need to proceed with caution.
What are the possible long term effects that people are worried about?
Having a survival rate off 99.7%..... why do I need to have a vaccination. My 78 yr old mother is scheduled to get it. I am just not sure I need to have it.
You don’t understand her statement, much like the FB friends that forwarded this to you.During a virtual press conference earlier this week, WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan was specific:
“I don’t believe we have the evidence on any of the vaccines to be confident that it’s going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on.”

The first group of front line medical workers who received the virus seem to be going well.
There is no evidence yet that the vaccine is effective in the nasal passages/outer respiratory system, which could let pockets of virus remain transmissible via coughs, sneezes etc. The evidence right now is that it is effective at preventing the virus from causing serious illness, presumably by preventing from replicating fast enough and deeper in the respiratory system and other critical systems where it causes more damage.ill be the first to admit that I don’t understand what she is saying.
WTF is she saying????
What is your non sequitur point here?You don't understand the so called vaccine.
"Vaccine, suspension of weakened, killed, or fragmented microorganisms or toxins or of antibodies or lymphocytes that is administered primarily to prevent disease."
Here's what you get:
Moderna: "Our Operating System
Recognizing the broad potential of mRNA science, we set out to create an mRNA technology platform that functions very much like an operating system on a computer. It is designed so that it can plug and play interchangeably with different programs. In our case, the "program” or “app” is our mRNA drug - the unique mRNA sequence that codes for a protein."

So your entire response is an assault on the person who wrote the article without addressing the substance of the article, which is Antibody Dependent Enhancement?“Dr. Doug” is not a medical doctor.
He is VP of marketing for a company called “Young Living Essential Oils”.
It is a pyramid scheme company that says that its products improve health through aroma therapy.
He also has a theory where Light has 18 different secret properties that “paint a picture of the identity of the creator”.
While he is at it, I guess in his spare time, he is an expert in something called “Animal Naturopathy” that is, apparently a new wave way of Pet Care.
He is also a proponent of CBD Pet Care.
So your entire response is an assault on the person who wrote the article without addressing the substance of the article, which is Antibody Dependent Enhancement?
So you aren’t aware that there is actually a name for the logical fallacy you employ? It’s called an ad hominem argument...employed when one does not have a relevant factual rebuttal to evidence presented. I actually know very little about Dr Doug, but that is inconsequential. The salient point is, does his point about ADE constitute a genuine concern or doesn’t it?My response speaks volumes to the guy’s credibility.

Same concept as some people that have minor symptoms from flu even though they’ve received the flu vaccine for that strain. The virus still replicates/lives in the outter passages, but not deeper in the respiratory system where it can cause more serious symptoms.
Mask wearing and social distancing will still be the recommendation until the “herd immunity” number is reached.

Wow! You are really doubling down here, aren’t you? Even when your fallacy is point-blank called out? OK, we’ll do it this way: your argument is to compare a guy with two PhD’s in molecular biology and biochemistry, and a masters in Engineering to someone who works at a McDonalds? And you apparently are more qualified to evaluate the potential efficacy and side effects of a brand new vaccine than he is because he has alternative views on pet care? And, more to the point— do you know anything at all about Antibody Dependent Enhancement?If the guy who works at the counter at McDonalds told you that he has figured out all this Covid-19 stuff and has a cure for it, would you take him seriously? Of course not. He is not a credible source on the subject. If he wants to give you the inside scoop on cooking French fries, I might pay attention. But Covid-19? Absolutely not. And I don’t even have to hear what his plan is. I pretty much know that his opinion is not worth anything.
Same thing with your source. His credibility is so lacking on the subject, wasting time on the article is just that: Wasting time. It is blathering noise from a crackpot on the internet.
I’m more qualified and that guy is a moron.Wow! You are really doubling down here, aren’t you? Even when your fallacy is point-blank called out?

A pharmaceutical and a vaccine are two entirely different types of chemicals. You are making up science in your head. Listen to the scientists.

The virus has a very low percentage of death, but it is amazing the people it kills. I had a 62 year old friend who just passed away. Very healthy guy. I've known reality unhealthy people get it and have little to no effects. I got mine yesterday. This is from a guy who has never taken the flu shot.
