Nevertheless, I am willing to be first in line for a vaccine, regardless of my allergies, unless someone shows with high probability that my particular allergy package is going to lead to my death from the vaccine.
The people we have to be careful of are the ones who believe that they are the exception, the "Special" ones whose politics dictate their medical needs and vulnerabilities.

It sounds like the expected reaction to the vaccine is very similar to a mild migraine. I've had one migraine headache in my life and it was something I never want to go through again. On the other hand, covid is a lot more terrible from all accounts. Maybe I'll get lucky and covid won't come to me, but I'm not going to count on it any more than I'm going to not wear my seatbelt and count on every driver I'm near being competent and sober.

More importantly, do you think any of these vaccines (or " vaccines " if you prefer) are poison? I mean I agree with you that the pharmaceutical industry isn't a bunch of angels, but that's besides the point. I can say a whole bunch of stuff that isn't related to the safety or effectiveness of this vaccine but it doesn't change anything about how well these shots work. You've got to keep your eye on the ball.
