Yeah, there will be folks passing on a cancer vaccine which would be mind-boggling. I get skipping the flu or Covid shots, but cancer is on another level or two. Not to throw a pity party, but my wife’s mom has Alzheimer’s. This past year, she’s gone from 80% functional to needing full-time care. It’s my first experience with it and it’s really hard to see and comprehend. It’s just so sad. It’ll be a great when they figure out how to stop it…and cancer.Originally Posted by Boston Red

Your body's immune system is the barrier, not the vaccine.

If the cancer vaccine was rushed to production in less than a year and you saw people getting cancer after being vaccinated, you can be sure there’d be all kinds of people not lining up to get it. Gotta compare apples to apples with this analogy
That’s irrelevant to my point. My point is that this C19 vax does not prevent infection thus they had to change the definition of vaccine
I think it would have been more proper to change the term of the C19 shot to treatment modality or something similar

https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-york-...orders-backpayNY State Supreme Court reinstates all fired unvaccinated employees, orders backpay, says the state violated rights, acted arbitrary & capricious, notes: “Being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting Covid-19.”
Note that the statement about vaccination not preventing an individual from contracting or transmitting Covid-19 is from the Court and not Fox News. Also, NY is unusual in the the Supreme Courts there are actually lower level trial courts. So this will likely be appealed to a Court of Appeals.
That's full approval of the original vax that came out in May of 2021. The most recent Omicron vax was emergency approved after being tested on 8 mice and no humans. So far as I know that one has not received full approval. If it has, by all means let me know. It was just emergency approved in July
The vaccine, sold under the brand name Comirnaty for adults, has been available under an emergency use authorization since May 2021 for the 12-15 age group. It will now be sold under the same brand name for adolescents as well.

I can't imagine why people are skeptical of experts telling them what they should do.

Has anyone heard of a possible link between Covid and Shingles. I was just at Walgreens getting a flu shot, and I asked the pharmacist about a shingles vaccine, saying that I'd had shingles in June. He said I'd have to wait six months, then asked if I had had covid before shingles. I told him I'd had covid in May, and my shingles had been mild, with a rash but no pain. He said the same thing had happened to him, and he'd been hearing other reports. I'm wondering whether this is a weakened immunity thing.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
Shingles with a rash and no pain? You may have found the first actual positive side effect of Covid. Well, that and the people who needed an excuse to cut off relatives they didn't like anyway!
Over Thanksgiving my late 80s aged parents had Covid. Dad originally got it and a week later Mom tested positive. Dad had a cough for a few days, then a little headache. Mom never did develop symptoms. 3 of us spent Thanksgiving with them in the 2 bedroom place at their independent living cottage, no masks. None of us got sick. Dad has bad type 2 diabetes, a UTI that will not respond to antibiotics and is not in great health. Mom has COPD and heart failure. If this is all Covid did to them, why the panic? We cannot let this virus control our lives. It's with us forever and we have to deal with it

I gave four COVIDs to a 100 year old man 15 minutes ago and he is doing 10/10.

If a random anecdote won't convince you, I don't know what will.

All I wanna do is report my personal experience. What you do with Covid is up to you
