NONE of my family took the shot. Parents, kids, grandkids & my oldest daughters extended family.I am not trying to ruffle you with these posts and am pro-Covid vaccination myself. PJ and I have both been vaccinated and boosted twice. Both my sons, and my daughter and granddaughters have been vaccinated. My 73-year-old post heart attack, triple bypass, smoker brother, also is vaccinated and boosted. All the adult in the family have had Covid, either one of the two strains that first entered the country, such as I had or one of the seemingly lighter variants, with the possible exception of my brother, who doesn't get out much, had very limited exposure and took all recommended precautions. Nobody in the family had it serious enough for hospitalization.
I am well aware of comorbidities, know that the vast majority have at least one or more traits or conditions that could be considered comorbidities. What I do not know is what factors (possibly genetic) have not been identified as comorbidities that determine the body's reactions to some diseases or vaccines and do not think, the "experts" know either. I look at it like allergies. What is different genetically about the healthy individuals, where a couple of bee or wasp stings is pain and reddening, vs the other healthy individual with the same stings, who's body reacts with an allergic response, by trying to shut down, sometimes ending in death?
There obviously is not one answer for all people, only a general answer that fits most people and this is the case with both Covid and the Covid inoculations. Safe for all? No. Safe and effective to a degree for the vast majority? Absolutely, but how does an individual know what group they are in?
None of us got sick either.
My neighbor & another friend had the shot and a booster or two and both had the shit 3 to 4 times. I also had customers who were forced to get the shot who got sick.
Everyone I know who had it said it was like having the flu.
The media had my black friends SCARED TO DEATH and near begging for the shot. Despite that Troy had it twice and he still thought I was crazy for not getting the poke.
