No we can't. There is still the hospital situation. THAT affects those that take it just as much as the ones who don't. Also, NO vaccine is 100% effective and those that don't take it will still be spreading it. The restrictions will continue as long as that is happening.Quote:

I grew up being lined up and vaccinated at school for things that we have pretty much eradicated in the US, 100% due to vaccines. Ask people a little older than me about polio summer.Quote:

I don't think HE knows that.
But I'll give him some more "Covid Treatment options" if he wants:
He should try a pocket full of poseys, Rubbing onions, herbs or a chopped up snake on you or cutting up a pigeon and rubbing it over an infected body. You could also try Drinking vinegar, eating crushed minerals, arsenic, mercury or even ten-year-old treacle.
Didn't realize there were so many anti-vaxxers on ED. Awesome. Any flat-earthers here, too?***

Please, for the love GOD, take the vaccine when you have the chance.
And stay safe, 99.

Will allergic reactions be a major side effect?

Yes, I'll take it when it's my turn (assuming people aren't falling over dead because of it by then).Quote:

The flu shot affects people differently, just like Covid appears to. The only flu shot I've ever had any sort of reaction to at all was, I think, the swing flu way back in the 70s, as I recall. This year, my arm got a little more sore than usual, but that may have been because I tensed my muscle more than usual. Or it could have been the content of the vaccine. I never had fever or felt bad though.Quote:

Pretty sure that all places that give the shots have to have the recovery drugs on hand, just in case.Quote:
