The idea that the vaccine will somehow be dangerous in the future is kind of ludicrous to me. Do those saying this really believe that something that could essentially wipe out 170M Americans, including the president, pretty much the entire medical industry, university students, and others would be this heavily recommended by lifelong experts? Do those saying this really think they’re smarter than everyone else?

OP you can't be serious. I'm vaccinated, but know that we don't know the long-term effects because we only just started vaccinating people. The serious adverse reactions have thankfully been limited to a small percent so far, but there is a reason why they temporarily pulled the Janssen vaccine, for example. They just didn't understand enough of the risk at that time.

There have been several instances of fully approved FDA drugs being recalled. The vaccines don't even have full approval yet. The process isn't perfect.

I'm not trying to spread fear. I think people should be vaccinated given the risk of not doing so and given the short-term data and extrapolation from other research. And if there are long term effects, with so many people vaccinated, I'm sure we'd hussle to get things solved.

But to dismiss people's concerns just further pushes them away and makes them less receptive to dialogue.

Doctors lining up to get vaxxed as soon as it was available tells me everything I need to know about vaccine safety. I trust those with MDs more than Chad who failed 9th grade biology but I suppose that makes me a sheep or something.

OP I also wondered this.

Imagine in 50 years it's only anti vaxxers left, along with their inflated self-importance and odd politics 🤣

funny

I wonder if men would universally still get vaxxed if there was even a slight chance their dick would never get hard again?

I absolutely think fertility is a legit concern and people should be able to make this decision with their doctor. My cycle has not been the same since the vax so it’s obviously capable of affecting that process.

I don’t think people are afraid that everyone is going to drop dead. They’re afraid that it will cause some sort of unforeseen chronic health issue

smart

Think I'd rather suffer the consequences of vaccines with the rest of the world than suffer being stuck with only antivaxers if that's all that's left in 50 years.

Hey ladies. I had a miscarriage July 2021 and my cycle started back up not long after. Then in January it just stopped. It’s been 3 months without my period and not sure what could be causing it (I’m not pregnant). My diet hasn’t changed and neither has my activity. I run marathons but I’ve been doing that for years now and it’s never impacted my period prior. I have an appointment to see my OB in a week but wondering if any of you experienced this.
