I got chickenpox twice as a kid and have already had shingles once. I was an

infant the first time I had chickenpox, and then got it again when I was 5. I especially remember getting them when I was 5 because some of my sores got infected and it was painful.

I got shingles when I was 28. My rash appeared right where I wear my waistband on my underwear/pants, and the pain covered a decent area around my hip/side because it was impacting that whole nerve. It sucked for a couple of days.

Anyone claiming they won't vaccinate their kids because of the dangers of rare side effects or that COVID isn't "that"

Vaccine companies are not liable for their COVID vaccines. This is an emergency

For all those thumbs downers, if it's so safe why not announce full liability?

Not enough data to support that claim either way.

There's no long term data for anything regarding covid-19.

That’s totally crap. The risk of death from COVID to a kid does not justify the risk of vaccination. There is no need

What risk of vaccination? What does that even mean?

Did you read the original post? 300 kids have died from COVID.

Someone who says what risk of vaccine is the definition of someone who isn’t rational

Don’t lots of people who had chickenpox get the shingles vaccine?

The Count

5/16/21 8:48am

I think you have to be 50 or older to get that vaccination, right?

How long is long enough?

Is 5 months long enough?

ochobeeguy

5/16/21 9:03am

There have been hundreds of thousands who got the vaccine before that

5/16/21 9:07am

Are you willing to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong?

ochobeeguy

5/16/21 9:14am

Wrong on the government claim. How long is long enough?

5/16/21 9:19am

12.5 years? Are you willing to take responsibility?

The vaccines have been out for less than a year. Are there long term effects?

ochobeeguy

5/16/21 9:03am

You're afraid of long haul vax side effects but not long haul COVID?

ReyOso

5/16/21 9:17am

I'm actually afraid of both. Why would you say I'm not?

ochobeeguy

5/16/21 9:33am

It’s not even equivalent. One is the long term continuation of actual symptoms

5/16/21 9:43am

Were people worried about thalidomide after 5 months is availability?

CougarThug

5/16/21 10:26am

This is a vaccine, not a drug. We've been vaccinating for generations.

ReyOso

5/16/21 10:40am

And we have been using drugs for how long?

CougarThug

5/16/21 11:32am

The comparison isn't the same thing at all.

Thalidomide was never approved in the united states

Your entire stance.
