I have seen enough first hand vaccine sickness from my coworkers and my family to know I will not get my children vaccinated for what is a non issue for them.
When about 75% of our company had sickness following the vaccination, including all 5 last week from overseas holed up in their hotel rooms, I have enough information.
Having said that, I'm not sure shopping for an opinion would convince my wife of anything other than I shopped for an opinion.
THIS! I do not recall ever having it be "standard" or "expected" to be somewhat sick after a vaccination. For this vaccination it's just expected. "I'm getting vaccinated next week so I plan to take a day or two off work depending upon how it affects me."
or this conversation:
Person 1: " I got vaccinated last week"
Person 2: "which one?"
Person 1: "Moderna"
Person 2: "How did it affect you?"
Person 1: "Not bad, I felt a little tired and sore for a day, but not bad at all"
Person 2: "Yeah, it kicked my butt, I felt like crap for 2 days."
Or some variation. It's as though people are suprised if they don't have some sort of side effect from this vaccine.
The explanations: "It just shows that the vaccine is working." "It's your immune system kicking in"....
This illness is almost 100% benign for people under 30. Pushing this on our children is irresponsible.
