I know it's my opinion only, but it draws on the knowledge of the smartest person I personally confer with....and that would be my daughter who is a PharmD (clinial Doctor of Pharmacy) with 5 years post grad education and 9 years of job experience. She can explain the method of action of the mRNA vaccines and why they are the better choice. She took the Pfizer formula as a pregnant woman when it wasn't approved as part of a trial study. She reasoned it would make more sense to take it than catching Covid and losing her baby. She says the biggest irony is the attitude of non-vaccinated people and the excuses they make, and then the chances they take with unapproved experimental drugs they willingly take once they are hospitalized with Covid-19. Go figure. Your chances of being killed in a car accident are greater than the danger you'll be exposed to from a Covid-19 vaccine. Please take it.Agreed 10000%. Following and holding DYAI basically put me in school to learn about how recombinant vaccines work. During that time in the back of my mind I was always concerned that one day mRNA vaccines would probably replace recombinant vaccines, which is a big reason why I eventually moved on from DYAI. In that process though I started learning about Moderna and their methods as well. I think both methods are safe, efficacious, and imo at this point the only way we are going to get out of this situation. The rollout here in Japan has been awful. They let the Olympics dictate how they were going to approach the COVID response which in my opinion (and most others I talk to here) was a grave mistake. The vaccination rate is by far the lowest in the developed world (don't think we've even cracked 30% yet). They sat on the vaccines for a while and now, just when it is starting to build up steam, the doses are expiring. Every day we are setting new records of daily cases. It sucks and I really don't see how we get out of this. OK enough doom and gloom. I get my 2nd Moderna jab next week and I am excited about it. I had a little bit of a sore arm after the 1st one, but no big deal. I am expecting that I'll have worse side effects after the 2nd shot, but I'm not worried about that. A two-day fever is a small price to pay for not being hospitalized or dying from COVID. Other than injection site soreness, I felt a little "wonky" for a couple of hours about 12 hours after my second injection. I know several people who became feverish and needed bed rest after the 2nd shot but they had underlying health issues (MS). I respect peoples fears and apprehensions about not wanting the vaccine, but if they spent time in a hospital with the healthcare givers on the front lines they may change their minds. Personally, I don't understand the stubbornness, there must be some type of deep rooted underlying emotional reason to opt out. Like I said, you'll get in your car to drive where ever you please putting yourself in more peril than you'll get from the Covid vaccine?  ?? My priorities are to not catch Covid and spread it to friends, family and loved ones unintentionally when I have the option to prevent that from happening. I'm weird, you're weird, we're all weird. C'est La Vie!! |

I decided to cancel my appointment for now. Moderna just released an update this morning, and is already talking about boosters being needed by this winter.
I do have to wonder how much money these companies are raking in from their successes of creating vaccines demanded by billions, and if that plays a role in any of this.
