Apparently she has a HS chum on a vent and she's lost her damn mind.
And she's pissed at me for not going along with it.
Muh Body Muh Choice I keep telling her.
Que the Rand Paul video!! Seriously, I'm scared of it because I've never had a flu shot (chicken/egg allergy). I know that there's none of that in there, but I have other anaphylaxis type reactions to really random things I've ate and I don't know why. So I'm fearful that I'd be the one person who needed to be shot up with epinephrine. Considering I have high blood pressure the thought of that possibility is terrifying. So I'm holding out for herd immunity and hoping that maybe I acquired natural immunity over the past 18 months. As far as our kids, there's not enough data, or time, or approval, or risk of Covid killing them to sway us. My wife, very hesitantly, got the Moderna shot because she works for a hospital. Even if I was not as allergic, the "sniff test" for how aggressively these shots are being rammed down our throats is alarming to me.
I do not personally know anyone that has been SERIOUSLY harmed so I cannot empathize with that. I do know a dozen or so folks who have had Covid and they are okay.
If I had to chose right now I'd go with J&J personally. As mentioned, I've never had a flu shot and I rarely get sick (knocks on wood) so that makes me HOPE AND PRAY that my immune system is tough. Regular Bourbon cleansing may be my secret?!?!
Things like this make us hesitant with our kids.
