I had thought about it a lot and decided that it was probably worth the risk, based on conversations with medical researchers who really understand how it works.

Then yesterday we had a workplace webinar where the president said that all staff are required to get the vaccine. Someone said how can you possibly require a vaccine that isn't even approved, but is only under emergency use authorization. The general counsel piped up and said that we think we are within our legal rights to require you to get it.

Someone else pointed out that in order to get this experimental vaccine we have to sign away our liability rights, so if the vaccine injures or kills us we have no recourse. And so isn't the company then liable for forcing you to take that risk? The webinar went silent for about 40 seconds and then the general counsel said that she would "circle back" on that question. So now they are worried...

Going to wait this one out for a bit.

Good on you for doing your own research and coming to your own conclusions. Too many people are passive when it comes to using medical care and they have worse outcomes.

The people who research, double check, ask questions, get second opinions, and challenge their care providers receive the best treatment and have the best outcomes.

The people who are PAID to research come to whatever conclusion they are PAID to come to.

You are correct. People need to THINK for THEMSELVES.

I actually know a neuroscientist with a PhD. S/he said most vaccines work with the blood system, but this mrna vaccine works with the muscles. The vaccine attaches to muscles and begins antibodies that way. The problem is that the vaccine does get carried throughout the body, it doesn't just attach instantly to the arm muscle when injected. Therefore, what happens to the heart, lungs, and even brain should some of the serum attach itself there? No one knows that answer, but the vaccine will still do its thing no matter which muscle it finds. S/he won't take the vaccine.

Maybe we should start calling it Mad Science

Blindly trusting experimental science while ignoring it's consequences.
