To preface this, I'm totally for vaccines and have convinced others to get the COVID shot...
Two things... I haven't found anything from a white paper to read up on this new vaccine. Like I think the last thing I found was like 'its the best we got but local variants will persist.' And my hesitation is that when ever I got my COVID vax and boosters... It fucked me up bad. I was useless for three days each time. I don't react well to medicine... I can't take a full xyzal without loosing a day. I did catch COVID once and I realize most logical reason it wasn't that bad was because of the shot, but in my past I never get the flu or any thing that bad. Like I get sniffles at worse .. so I guess I'm wondering/hoping I don't need the shot... I couldn't move those three days from the vax and I'm wondering if it's another medication I'm overly sensitive to. But I will likely put up with loosing a weekend to try to consider others around me as I'm not sure how to prove or test that.
I guess my point is I'm looking for more data to make a good decision here.
edit - I'm confused by the downvotes... I'm getting the shot, I just want more info and yet have been provided anything but downvote or general information about covid. I'm asking data on the new vaccine but I don't want to seem to come off combative... like I'm for it lol shrugs
It's part of my career to review white papers. Mostly from the FDA food guidelines but I do enjoy reading white papers. Cuts the bias if I can go through the methodology and data set. I have a chemistry degree with an interest in computational science, inorganic and polymer. I'm on some regulatory review team at work as well...
I really didn't want to come off so anti vax.... not my intent, like i'm going to get it I just wanted more info which I haven't seen yet.
