Yes, I got the vaccine, as soon as I could. All reports are that it is safe and effective. You mention blood clots -- remember that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine was paused after six reported cases of blood clotting. Six. Compare this to the 4,000,000+ reported deaths from Covid-19 (worldwide), the ~1,000,000 traffic fatalities, or the ~2,000 people killed by lightning strikes. And this is comparing deaths to cases of blood clots. Although more cases of blood clotting have been reported, the risk is still within a rounding error of zero. The idea that the vaccine has been rushed seems a bit strange to me; millions have died of the virus, millions of more have suffered debilitating side effects, and the virus has had a crippling effect on the economy. Under such circumstances, shouldn't we want a vaccine absolutely as soon as possible? The FDA still hasn't given full approval yet; my impression is that they are being extremely cautious. If you wanted to "wait and see", then I get that, but at this point 4,540,000,000 vaccine doses have been administered. That's four and a half billion pieces of evidence that serious side effects are very rare. The final reason to get the vaccine is that it's common to have the virus with no symptoms and still spread it. Even if you're willing to bear the risks of infection yourself, are you willing to make this choice for others? (Or else self-quarantine?) With "breakthrough cases" becoming more common, the vaccinated can't be assured of safety unless everyone else gets the vaccine too. Please get the vaccine. It is the fastest way for all of us to emerge from this hell.
