This is a discussion topic for the May 2024 Book of the Month, "Neither Safe Nor Effective (2nd Edition): The Evidence Against the COVID Vaccines" by Dr. Colleen Huber

Do you think this book will affect one's opinion on vaccines in general, not just COVID-19 vaccines?

Yes, after reading this people who got vaccinated will be affected mentally and those who haven't vaccinated will never want to be vaccinated hence making their health at threat from Covid 19

Definitely. Part 5 of the book covers a lot of detail about vaccines in general, including what's in a vaccine, how it interacts with our immune system. I think readers will become more skeptical as they learn more about vaccines.

I can't even imagine what does who have already been vaccinated will feel like after reading this.

Yes, this book will affect people's opinions on vaccines in different ways. Before the pandemic, people would accept vaccination against other diseases without questioning or trying to understand how they work. Additionally, the vaccines came with minimal side effects that could normally resolve on their own. The COVID-19 vaccines came with a lot of controversy regarding their mode of action and their side effects. Seeing people develop serious conditions related to the vaccines discourages them from accepting even other vaccines that existed before. Unfortunately, I witnessed a lot of side effects that were not pleasant at all.

I was very skeptical and angry with my friends that were refusing to take the vaccine. I kept asking myself why they wouldn't do their part to get us to herd immunity? It is a vaccine! We have had vaccines for decades!! Now reading this book and seeing the data, I am very concerned. I received the vaccine, as did my family. And then weeks to months later, we all got Covid. We re-assured ourselves with thoughts of how bad it was, but how much worse it could have been if we weren't vaccinated. Now all those thoughts are thrown out the window and I am concerned about the long term damage I might have done to my body.

As someone who works in data, you can always pull the data you want to tell your side of the story or back your opinion. So I would love to see if there is another MD's book that states all the research data that the vaccine was a good thing. If one exists.

I actually think that this will affect the general outlook on all new and existing vaccines. No one has actually taken the time to research all vaccines produced as much as the COVID-19 vaccine. This will put many vaccines on the spotlight.

I've tried to discuss vaccines with my wife after reading this book. I am more open minded about the topic, but she leans more towards vaccines and doesn't want to hear the details.

I think the author did not try to impose their belief on people. It was an open discussion and analysis so I doubt that it will affect one's opinion.

This book may have a profound impact on readers, potentially causing mental distress for individuals who have already received the vaccine, while also discouraging those who haven't been vaccinated from doing so, ultimately putting their health at greater risk of COVID-19 complications.

Books are powerful tools and can indeed shape or change people's opinion on some things. I would, howewer, like like everyone to approach it, and every other book out there, with an open mind.

Before picking up this book, I already had an opinion about the vaccine, and reading it didn't change that. However, I do agree with the author, which likely explains why my opinion remains unchanged. Despite this, my understanding has broadened, and I now have more information about the vaccine and what to watch for in the future, should the need arise—though I hope it doesn't.

I do not think the author's opinions are new to the public and I have already made up my mind on what I believe or do not believe. I do not believe in a general consensus to dish out a vaccine that is neither safe nor effective, but still, since not taking it won't do me any severe harm, I kept away from it.

It is possible, but we must always keep in mind that this is the first vaccine to be made using this novel method with RNA and that the ones we have so far are effective and safe.

I believe that people have always talked about vaccinations. The pros and negatives have always been up for discussion.Yes, without a doubt. This insightful article will alter people's opinions about vaccinations. This book provides extremely detailed information about the nature of vaccinations and their effects. I don't think someone would purposefully put their life in danger after receiving a vaccination.There is a great risk to one's life and health.
