Getting 1st Covid/Pfizer shot romorrow

[Mcfltfyter]

Let's hope it doesn't turn into a "guess the mutation" game like the flu shot. There have been some pretty terrible guesses with the flu shot that made it essentially useless recently.

For me it is easy to forget that some places are still struggling with covid.

I am on the fence as well. The vaccine doesn't protect you from getting Covid, not does it guarantee you would get seriously ill from Covid OR the vaccine. And since they are reporting how many still came down with Covid and even people getting seriously ill from the vaccine, I asking myself, exactly what is the vaccine actually doing for you. And now I am hearing that you will have to get booster shots regularly and the Covid WILL mutate as something the vaccine won't protect against. IDK. I don't think anyone actually knows about the vaccine or the mutations at this stage. JMHO

Just where are your seeing/hearing that, FOX (edit: commentators), News max

The CDC confirms those facts, although they are worded more coherently.

Its like any vaccine, not 100% effective, but high 90's are pretty good odds. There have only been a very low number of serious effects from the vaccine. There have been over 1/2 a million deaths in the US alone from Covid, so I'd take my chances with the vaccine every time.......

I doubt that the CDC confirms "the vaccine doesn't protect you from Covid"! I agree with Alldodge, FOX does a real disservice to you guys spreading all the missinformation without any regard to peoples lives, shouldn't be legal. I expect the Mods will end this conversation pretty soon!

Y'all just had to turn it political. If you think fox is propaganda, but CNN is reputable, that is just nonsense.

Sorry, Heinz. Frankly I'm surprised it took 25 posts, actually less, before it took this turn.

Enjoy a meatless beer and Brussels sprout from the barbie after the shot.
