@merpreb I respect your decision because you are doing what you feel is right for you. I do listen to comments before making a decision. I believe it is the younger folks that are more of a threat for your herd immunity. A person from a younger generation may not care about their community or infecting others that may die from the disease. They are the party goers or people that will participate in group events. The spring breakers are more at risk for exposure and spreading the virus not someone who takes precautions by staying at home. How can that person possibly affect herd immunity?
There have been suspicious deaths resulting after vaccinations. I believe deaths and adverse effects such as blood clots may have been dismissed because there have not been many cases compared to the number of people vaccinated. What is considered safe by your definition for a vaccine to be declared safe? To me just one person being affected could possibly mean that there is a slight chance it could happen to me. I guess it doesn’t matter if you get a blood clot from the vaccine or virus but if you quarantine every day would you not increase your chances for a blood clot by getting vaccinated? It would all depend on your medical condition too.
I have not recommended the vaccines to anyone simply because not much is known. We don’t know what lies ahead with the vaccines so I advise people to make their own decision based on their risks for exposure and their health history. With people who ask I do give the facts as they become available and NOT what I think or believe. I am waiting for the right time when more is known before making my decision. I hear the vaccines may possibly last 6 months. Manufacturers are working on boosters. We shall see what happens. It is being reported that the number of cases is on the rise in many states. Usually the numbers decline as the warmer weather comes. I hope when fall comes around the results will be better from now. It is difficult to say because of people’s behavior. Some folks feel they have to go out instead of staying safe in their homes. That is their decision. Will the vaccination prevent these people from contracting the virus?

Close to 3,000 deaths have been reported so far from what I understand after vaccines. Claim is that the deaths were not related to the vaccine but how can they know for sure when there are so many unknowns. I have heard experts say the “the deaths probably weren’t related.”
I heard someone in England had a Tonic Clonic seizure about 3 hours after their injection. Of course that could have been a coincidence but no one will ever know for sure.
