    I can’t believe @EL PRESIDENTE is posting the argument I agree with for once. Like seriously, vaccines have been around for what a hundred years now? They have been proven to be unequivocally safe, and this one is no different. I can’t wait until I can get my daughter who is 3 the vaccine, it will give me some peace of mind knowing I have provided her the best chance of being immune to this virus.

    Thanks i hope so. Ive been really bummed lately because its totally affecting my vocals and i cant finish my cd until my nasal passages clear up and i can sing a quality tone again. About five songs to finish vocals on and im done and can hand over tracks for final mixing and mastering. Was supposed to have them handed over by now.

    I mean, I prefer the mask mandates solely because I've seen some of your guys' ugly mugs at S2 events, and I suspect the rest of you are mouth breathers....

    As I understand it, there is nothing unique in any of these vaccines except the fragment of covid-19 like proteins... Of which they'll get a lot more of by catching covid-19.

    But that's ok, because we have lots of long-term studies on the effects of covid on kids.

    750,000 Covid dead Americans and counting confirmed vs. unconfirmed rumor of less than 100 vaccine deaths.

    And tens of thousands (at least) of cases of adverse side effects and permanent damage. As far as vaccines go, this is the most problematic one ever, hands down. That’s more than enough reason for a young person to avoid it. Let the age groups that are actually affected by covid get the shot and lessen symptoms that hit them much harder. There is ZERO reason to be pushing this shot on children, there is a larger chance for children to experience an adverse reaction than there is for them to die of covid. It’s insane to give a child this shot. It’s a fear based decision devoid of basic logic.

    That's why natural immunity is better/longer lasting. You're exposed to the full 50ish proteins verus just a fragment, as I understand it.

    Is there actual data to back that up? I'm not sure.

    Either way, you're just about 1000 x more likely to die trying to gain natural immunity if haven't been vaccinated.

    Speaking of which, I'm heading to an unvaxxed guy's funeral today... Sounds like most of his family members (unvaxxed) are out of the hospital now... Many will be bringing oxygen tanks with them...

    yeah, while I haven’t researched the data I have seen, I’ve yet to see anything (aside from comments by non-experts posting on social media who claim to be educated on the matter) that says natural immunity is “better/longer lasting”. anything I’ve read either way says that the vaccine is better/longer lasting.
