I am sixty-three years old. When I was a baby, my parents made sure that I received all of the suggested vaccinations. As a child, I continued to receive them. Thankfully, I never had the measles, small-pox, mumps, polio, tetanus infections, so on and so on. Through my young adult life I intermittently took the flu vaccine, and was vaccinated for hepatitis. I had shingles when I was 34. I would not wish this disease on my worst enemy. As I am older now, I decided to get the Shingles vaccine and booster, because I do not want to have shingles ever again. In spite of all of the brouhaha about the Covid-19 vaccines, I decided to get them. I figured in my whole life I have never questioned getting a vaccine so why should I now ??? I can honestly say that I have not suffered any effects except tiredness one day after the 5 vaccines I received. Lately, I have been getting the flu and Covid-19 vaccines simultaneously. I have always been physically active and I still am. I walk on average 4 miles a day, and do push-ups, rows, curls, chin-ups 3 times per week. So, I don't feel in danger. I am currently reading this book with an open mind. I would never assume that a dedicated doctor and researcher is wrong or intentionally trying to mislead us. There are always truths on both sides of a debate. My experience plus that of my mother, sister, wife, 4 grown up kids and their spouses, 4 grand-children, niece and her husband and son, and my 9 close friends and their kids and grandchildren who are all living without negative effects, tells me that we have nothing to worry about. I lost one friend due to Covid-19 before the vaccines became available. Another friend ended up in a coma and took 3 months to recover. So I would say that No, I don't think that vaccines are neither safe nor effective in regards to my family and friends. But my reality may differ from that of others. I am reading this book with an open mind. it is important to have a debate so that we can get it right for everyone.Leona Rodrigues wrote: ↑02 May 2024, 14:32 Currently, it has been discovered that Covishied, an Indian vaccine, has many side effects ranging from minor to deadly. So do you think all the vaccines were the same and in accordance with the title, as it suggests, 'neither safe nor effective'?

I learnt more about vaccines while studying life sciences. I think vaccines that are tested and have proven effectiveness are safer, especially for those people whose immunity is compromised. On the other hand, when it comes to vaccines that have no record of proven effectiveness should be avoided by persons whose immunity is compromised.
