I could probably write 10K words on why this is so F'd up, unnecessary for kids, inhumane, immoral and criminal.. but I won't.
Suffice it to say, my daughter (who is only 8) will NOT be getting the experimental mRNA jab any time soon. (regardless of when they EUA it for her age group).
Wondering if they said the same about smallpox and polio. (World of difference there !) OTOH, this china virus basically only hits the elderly and infirm hard, and the young people, who have lingering after effects or worse seem to be few and far between. It will be interesting when the final results are in as to which is better; to have had a mild case and thus antibodies, or the vaccines which basically produced antibodies, as well as which confers immunity longer.

For now, at least, it's a free country. You do you.

Unfortunately there is really no escaping what is in progress and what is coming. What the globalist plan has laid out. For all of us.
I hate that plan.
My mother is 73, retired, in perfect health, works at a super market part time. She won't take the jab. She says to me 'don, glad I'm 75% though this life'. She can see what is happening.
Cent' anno mom!
No longer true. Hospital admissions now are higher for 20 & 30 year olds, than the elderly.
We can discuss why that's happening, but that is the current truth.
1st one was really sore, like almost 4 days. Looking forward to me 2nd one on the 9th - not.

This has NEVER been a FREE country....maybe more free for some than others but never FREE...and that part is good because some folks think that freedom means they can do or say whatever they want....WRONG!!!

Dr. Oz is being persecuted by media and entertainment industry for being against COVID vaccine.
Things like this give the frightened more reason for fear, but in reality, it shows how carefully things like production lots of vaccines, drugs and medical devices are evaluated, tested and vetted prior to being released for sale. Yup, mistakes are made, but well-designed and implemented quality systems will catch and correct those error prior to being released from the factory.
Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine is delayed by a U.S. factory mixup.

Workers at a plant in Baltimore manufacturing two coronavirus vaccines accidentally conflated the ingredients several weeks ago, contaminating up to 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine and forcing regulators to delay authorization of the plant’s production lines.
The plant is run by Emergent BioSolutions, a manufacturing partner to both Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca, the British-Swedish company whose vaccine has yet to be authorized for use in the United States. Federal officials attributed the mistake to human error.
The mix-up has delayed future shipments of Johnson & Johnson doses in the United States while the Food and Drug Administration investigates what occurred. Johnson & Johnson has moved to strengthen its control over Emergent BioSolutions’ work to avoid additional quality lapses.
The mistake is a major embarrassment both for Johnson & Johnson, whose one-dose vaccine has been credited with speeding up the national immunization program, and for Emergent, its subcontractor, which has faced fierce criticism for its heavy lobbying for federal contracts, especially for the government’s emergency health stockpile.
The error does not affect any Johnson & Johnson doses that are currently being delivered and used nationwide, including the shipments that states are counting on next week. All those doses were produced in the Netherlands, where operations have been fully approved by federal regulators.
Further shipments of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine — expected to total 24 million doses in the next month — were supposed to come from the giant plant in Baltimore. Those deliveries are now in question while the quality control issues are sorted out, according to people familiar with the matter.
Federal officials still expect to have enough doses from Johnson & Johnson and the other two approved coronavirus vaccine makers to meet President Biden’s commitment to provide enough vaccine to immunize every adult by the end of May.
Pfizer is shipping its doses ahead of schedule, and Moderna is on the verge of winning approval to deliver vials of vaccine packed with up to 15 doses instead of 10, further bolstering the nation’s stock.
The problems arose in a new plant that the federal government enlisted last year to produce vaccines from Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca. The two vaccines use the same technology employing a harmless version of a virus — known as a vector — that is transmitted into cells to make a protein that then stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. But Johnson and Johnson’s and AstraZeneca’s vectors are biologically different and not interchangeable.
In late February, one or more workers somehow confused the two during the production process, raising questions about training and supervision.
Vaccine production is a notoriously fickle science, and errors are often expected to occur and ruin batches. But Emergent’s mistake went undiscovered for days until Johnson & Johnson’s quality control checks uncovered it, according to people familiar with the situation. By then, up to 15 million doses had been contaminated, the people said.
None of the doses ever left the plant, and the lot has been quarantined.
Johnson & Johnson reported the mishap to federal regulators, who then started an investigation that has delayed the authorization of that plant’s production lines. The company has beefed up the number of its own staff members who monitor Emergent’s work and instituted a variety of new checks intended to protect against future lapses.
Johnson & Johnson already faced a lag in its manufacturing that has caused the company to fall behind on its commitments to the federal government, but it seemed on track to catch up. It delivered 20 million doses by the end of March, and has pledged to deliver roughly 75 million additional doses by the end of May.
White House officials hedged their projections in a phone call with governors on Tuesday, forecasting certain deliveries from Pfizer and Moderna but warning that Johnson & Johnson’s shipments would fluctuate.
In a statement late Wednesday, the company said it expected the steps it was now taking with Emergent would enable it to deliver 24 million doses by the end of April, or about what the federal government expected. But that depends on whether Johnson & Johnson satisfies Food and Drug Administration regulators.

What about getting blood work? I caught covid after being very careful, I thought anyways. I was lucky and didn’t have a hard time with it but that shit sucked. Just got my smell back.
I get 5 allergy shots every week, and all the other vaccines that have come out like zostamax, shinglex, pneumonia and the occasional tetanus booster along with what Uncle gave me years back so I guess I am not one to criticize or even comment, but if you are over 65 is it worth the risk, that is, unless its for religious or not believing in science reasons...?
