Will you take the vaccine ?

[Mystic Wanderer]

On a side note, I have never had a flu or pneumonia shot.
Do not intend to start either.

I get the flu vax every year.  I've had the pneumonia ones but won't repeat that.  Came to the conclusion it's a stupid vax after reading up.   However, these vaccines coming out....   I think it's an immune disorder disaster just waiting to happen.   Two of these things reprogram our cells to produce something to which our immune system reacts.   How much of a leap is it to imagine the immune system attacking the cells themselves?  

One of the other COVID vaccines uses chimp adenovirus vector.   I want nothing, ever, to do with something that uses anything from primates given SV40 and the suspicion that primate material may have had something to do with HIV (originally SIV).

I really hope you don't have to make a choice between the vaccine and being able to see Jim.

@"drussell41", you are an adult and can do with your body whatever you wish,

BUT...

I just read AGAIN today that something in the flu vaccine does something to the cells to attract the C-virus. Many doctors are pointing this out now and advising not to get flu shots. They hardly ever work anyway. They guess at which strain will be out there and most of the time, they miss the mark.
But, it's your choice.


ETA: I may have misunderstood your post.  I took it that you take the flu vaccine every year, but you won't take the pneumonia vaccine again.  Maybe you meant both?
