Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I don't like the odds of not being vaccinated. I know 6 people who died of Covid. All 6 were not vaccinated. Their ages ranged from 38 to 80. I'll take the shot side effects any day. The people that I know who were vaccinated and had breakthrough cases all recovered. Some had really mild cold symptoms.

So pretty much everything he says is correct, but he fails in his conclusion and link between natural immunity verses vaccine induced. Used to be all vaccines were made from either dead or weakened virus cells. In other words, they gave you the virus so your immune systems could recognize it and build up the right antibodies. This new vaccine does the same thing, but by using mRNA instead of actual virus to "teach" your systems to create antibodies and recognize it when it sees it, but the mechanism in the immune system is the same. The same problem would exist with natural immunity as well in terms of variants.

I am not a doctor either, but I did take a lot of microbiology and cell biology classes in college as I attempted to be a veterinarian (and I enjoy the topic). I also worked for a research veterinarian working on repository illnesses in dogs so I probably have a better than average lay persons knowledge of the subject. I took the vaccine as soon as I could. Contrary to this, I have never, ever taken a flu shot because, I have never, ever exhibited symptoms of the flu. I am for freedom, so yea, you don't want to take it, don't take it, but if you're trying to convince others not to take it, you should be...?

I am a nurse and
1. Believe that while everyone has a right to their opinion when it flies in the face of proven medical facts it becomes a conspiracy theory and is harmful to public health
2. It is not just your own health that his “theory” threatens but those around you
3. You can’t argue with others’ beliefs BUT
THIS HAS NO PLACE ON A C DIFF WEBSITE
