Why take any risk — which are not slim at all — check out the over 14,000 adverse events on vaers — and why should I? There are much safer and more effective ways to prevent getting covid. The vaccine will need a booster in a short while and they are not even promising you won’t catch or transmit covid. They are saying you may need another shot for variants. I’d rather take high levels of vitamin D and ivermectin. Who needs to take the risk? Ivermectin works for any virus – so variants don’t matter. Every day I hear more stories of ppl who died shortly after taking the vaccine — sometimes from first hand sources. Why would I even take that chance – as slim as it may be?

Honestly, I heard enough first hand stories from the vax, that I feel very comfortable not taking the vaccine and waiting for more data while doing safer prophylaxis options right now… Each person has to make their own risk – benefit analysis

@ujm — you are correct – there are gedolim on both sides. Even R Chaim Kanievsky has given a psak to vaccinate and NOT to depending on what he was told. I have a video where he was explained the possible risks of the COVID vaccine and he said NOT to. We are not living in regular times. The truth is very hidden and one narrative is being pushed very strongly and the people who appose that narrative are censored and silenced.

There are people who are saying they will not consider a shidduch with a boy or girl who took the new technology COVID-19 vaccine. Even if you totally don’t agree with this, people should know that taking the vaccine may complicate shidduchim for them. It has not been proven to NOT affect fertility and there is reason to believe that it might affect them based on some anecdotal stories coming out so far. We don’t have enough real life data about this yet…. Even if some doctors debunked the theory on paper… there’s still ongoing trials with this vaccine… Isreal is the world’s lab..

I am not an antivaxxer at all. Its easy to write off anyone against the vaccine as anti-vax and conspiracy theorist and therby dismiss any concern about this vaccine. However, the vaccine is not FDA approved and is unlike any other previous vaccine. The makers of the vaccine do not even claim that it will prevent you from getting covid, or help not spread it. THe only claim they make is that the symptoms will be less severe. (It is more like gene therapy administered in a shot). If you speak to people in EY who deal with helping treat people with COVID, they will tell you that many people have had serious side effects, lost babies, and died from the vaccine, but the information is being hidden from you as there was fake information about HCQ. R’ Ovadya Yosef’s son came out recently NOT to take it(after originally advocating to take it) stating it causes problems with the heart and doctors are not able to stabilize the patients after taking the shot and having issues. People are also testing positive for COVID after the vaccine as is the case of one of the gedolim who passed away last week and got COVID 10 days after the vaccine. People who are getting COVID -like symptoms after the vaccine are not responding well to the standard treatments for COVID. IF YOU CAN WAIT, DON’T take the vaccine until there is a lot more accurate data. I have access to a lot of data because I am in touch with people who help with covid in other countries on an almost daily basis, and I unfortunately hear a lot of sad stories. Most people do not have access to real data unless they really try to find it. So ITS BEST TO WAIT.
