@qvcfreak ... no one died in the clinical trials for Moderna or Pfizer.

Wait and see.......

I have read that those few who died after getting the vaccine were either elderly or had very serious underlying medical conditions. i.e. they probably would have died anyway.

We don't know they would have died anyway. Says who?? The drug company? Oh no, they have nothing to lose by denying it.

Sadly, these tragedies happen during mass vaccinations. When millions of people are involved, there are usually a few who have unexpected reactions, but I am willing to risk odds like one out of 20 million, for example, any day.
You're smart, @Vivian, because such tiny occurrences pale against the risk of getting the virus.

That is, Unless it's you or one of your relatives that dies from it. It is rare, but we don't know any of the long-term side effects. We won't know that for a long time. Those who wish to get it, good for them. Those of us who do not, I wish people would get off our backs and stop pushing.

If a person is fortunate enough to live to say....99 or 100 - chances are - that person does not have much time left. That is just how it is.

@Effie54, whoa, take a breath. If it offends you that I applauded @Vivian, I think your defensiveness is showing.

I have thought the same thing, @Effie54- we don't know the long term effects of the vaccine. But, we don't know the long term effects of covid either, I guess we know some of them from the covid long haulers but we have no idea what these people will have to go thru later onl. I've wondered if it will be a life long sentence for these poor people.

We do know Covid has killed around 530,000 of our fellow Americans though, that makes me want to get the vaccine.
