I'm not suggesting that anybody should avoid the vaccine. I just want to be fully informed before *I* take the vaccine. I got my flu shot this year despite it's poor track record of efficacy, but it's generally safe. They halted the covid vaccine at an Illinois hospital yesterday after 4 workers needed treatment. I've never heard of that happening with the flu vaccine.
Here's a CDC document that shows almost 3% of covid vaccine recipients reported "unable to perform daily activities, unable to work, required care from a doctor or health care professional" after receiving the vaccine. That seems a little high to me.

I'm sure I'll get a covid vaccine myself eventually. I just don't want to be first in line to receive an experimental type of vaccine using technology that has never been tried before. I couldn't even find evidence of a long term study of mRNA vaccines being attempted in animals.

The above was a vaccine that took over 20 years to develop (not sure how that jives with the title "Rush to Develop") and over a year and a half of kids dying before the manufacturer admitted there was a problem with it. A year and half ago the word covid didn't exist and mRNA vaccines were considered to be 20 years away.
