I appreciate your willingness to adhere to safety protocols. That’s huge. I’m in TX, and let’s just say there are severely uninformed people here when it comes to respecting others during this pandemic.
I’d like to ask you a question. What’s the reason for your hesitation? To have a better discussion, it would be helpful to know more about why you’re hesitant. I totally understand why folks are hesitant. It’s brand new technology, and it was developed REALLY fast.
I’ve got pictures on my phone of normal lungs vs smokers lungs vs COVID lungs. The COVID lungs are off the charts nasty.
Whenever someone says they’re hesitant about the vaccine, I show them the pictures. I don’t say anything else- the pictures tell the story.
If you haven’t researched what COVID does to a person, I’d suggest you do that right now. Especially if you’re eligible now to receive the vaccine.
Start with checking out pictures/scans of lungs.
Not only that, but even a mild case of COVID can produce “long haul” symptoms. Basically all kinds of weird chit starts happening to your body, and there’s no real rhyme or reason to what happens. Perfectly healthy people pre-COVID have become essentially disabled after having it.
That’s exactly why I got vaccinated as soon as I was eligible. I’m around too many people all the time to take chances. Either spreading COVID unknowingly or bringing it home to my family were risks I just couldn’t take. I’m super careful and have a several protocols to keep from contracting COVID.
Full disclosure- the first shot gave me headaches. I never have headaches. The second shot gave me chills & flu-like symptoms. Turns out those responses are actually a great thing- my body was producing antibodies against COVID. Quite frankly, I would’ve been worried that the vaccine didn’t “take” if I felt perfectly fine after the shots. I’m quite sure it “took”.
Both of those (temporary) responses were WELL worth it to avoid having COVID and what comes with it immediately and potentially down the road.
I know that the vaccines were developed very quickly, and that’s a little scary. Quite frankly, they are a scientific miracle.
However, having COVID is MUCH scarier. You might be perfectly fine, you might get really sick or you might even develop long term health issues. And you could develop long term symptoms even if you weren’t that sick when you had COVID. You’re basically playing a game of Russian roulette with your health if you have access to a vaccine and don’t take advantage of it.
Just a few things to think about.

And then there’s this:
1 in 3 Covid-19 patients are diagnosed with a neuropsychiatric condition in the next six months, large study finds
Anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders were most common, but the researchers also found worrying, if lower, rates of serious neurological complications, especially in patients who had been severely ill with Covid-19.
In short, having COVID is like opening a Pandora’s box of future mystery ailments/conditions.
Far better to avoid it all costs, and the vaccines are 100% free.
Plus, COVID is becoming more easily transmissible + deadlier via mutations. Because that’s what Virus’s do. They adapt. The longer viruses are running free in the wild, the deadlier they become.
Why risk it, when vaccines are readily available now? When making decisions, it’s best to look at all available data, and outcomes for each of your possible choices. The evidence is starting to really mount up for getting the vaccine.
For those on the fence, why are you still on the fence? I’m genuinely curious.
Perhaps another way to ask it would be this: what would you have to see to feel comfortable enough to take the vaccine?

I think he just wanted to virtue signal. He got shown religion and left.
I wonder how the OP would react if his family ostracised him over the lack of an "optional" polio or smallpox vaccine? Would he consider that "vaccine shaming"?
My body, my choice. Or, are we not doing that anymore?
I don't virtue signal. I deal in reality, unlike some of the woke progressives in our society.
Pregnancy isn't contagious.
I'm 29 years old, I do HIIT workouts five days a week, I eat clean, I drink plenty of water, I get 8 hours of sleep a night, I don't smoke and I don't drink. I don't need a vaccine to protect me since I'm already a healthy person. I had COVID in November with my only symptoms being loss of taste and smell. Hell, I even worked out at home WHILE I had it and felt no differently than I ever have while exercising.
So, you believe you have a right to interfere with my personal health decisions? If that's true, I believe you need to be castrated. It works both ways.
Appreciate your thoughts. As I mentioned below in a separate post, I do HIIT workouts five days a week, I eat clean, I drink plenty of water, I get 8 hours of sleep a night and I don't smoke or drink. I also already had COVID-19, worked out WHILE I had it and felt no differently than I had while exercising prior to contracting COVID-19.I appreciate your willingness to adhere to safety protocols.

So, do you have a problem with certain entities (airlines) requiring a vaccine to fly?
Then get it for your mom, dad, in-laws, neighbors, parishioners, my mom, sisters, brother in-law.
I'm going to lead with saying that I'm fully vaccinated. 2 shots of Pfizer and hope for the best. With that said, I'm not sure how anyone can be sure of "no one dying or suffering long-term health issues." There's just no way to know that yet.
.
True, how about as of now there is no evidence that the vaccine causes death or long-term health issues.
We aren’t long term yet. And the companies have a history of concealing data. That said I’m getting vaccinated - but telling someone not to be concerned about the long term consequences (or shaming) is silly imo, particularly in view of the Covid survival rate. And I know you weren’t marv - just sayin. i'll do it on the chance it limits me infecting someone else and because i suspect points of entry will start requiring it

I have no problem with that whatsoever. I don't have to use their service, just as they have a right to operate their private business the way they see fit.
Even if I hadn't already had COVID-19, I still wouldn't be worried about contracting it due to the healthy lifestyle choices I make. I haven't had a flu shot since before I turned 18, and I haven't had the flu since I was in junior high. Again, I'm not worried one bit.

According to the so called "experts," there is not yet definitive proof that the vaccine prevents the spread of COVID-19. Even if it did, I still refuse to put something in my body that I don't want to.
Wow. comparing abortion to a vaccine.
All he left out was Explosive Cardio.
Your choice is your choice, when it doesn't affect anyone else's body.
Stop lying.
What I find interesting is he's come out blazing about Freedom! today, but initially it was all about the vaccine's impact on conceiving. Could that have been a smokescreen?
Fauci is an epidemiologist. He deals with large numbers, large populations, and large, blunt instruments. He gets in trouble when he tries to deal with smaller localized situations and sharper instruments. He's also been burned by rosy forecasts that didn't turn out, so being gun-shy is understandable.

That’s just not true. Check all the information from Israel. It absolutely stops the spread.
