We don’t know that there is no downside which is why these vaccines were approved via Emergency Use Authorization. At the very least I and several people I know were absolutely flattened by the vaccines for a day or two. One guy I know had very low blood sugar for weeks afterwards and needed medical intervention.
The vaccines are important in establishing herd immunity, but I don’t understand the desire to jab people who already have established immunity.
- IgorPartola 5y agoFeeling symptoms of COVID after receiving the vaccine is a normal and expected result that makes common sense: your immune system is doing its job. The only possible long term side effect here is partial or total immunity from COVID. On the other hand you don’t know the long term effects of COVID either, but I would bet dollars to donuts that they are worse than from the vaccine, based on what we know as of today.
- krrrh 5y ago> The only possible long term side effect here is partial or total immunity from COVID. You don’t need to convince me to get vaccinated, but this is a profoundly unscientific statement. The mRNA vaccines are a brand new technology that would not have been approved without several years of human trials if there was not a pandemic justifying rushing through the normal process. So far so good, but the immune system is a complex system and we can’t rule out some unexpected side effects for some people some of the time.
