I've never had a flu, COVID, or any other shot in my adulthood...

@NerdyPotato I don't trust it and feel scared of it.

@Wiseacre do you trust medication though? Because they go through the same amount of testing.

@NerdyPotato not really..I take 2 meds and had to talk myself into taking them.

@Wiseacre now that you got over your fear and are taking them, do they help or hurt you?

@NerdyPotato complicated..I have functional disorders and take them off label..one of them, Metformin, has bad side effect, but doc thinks I should continue bc it targets a certain molecule and is anti aging.

@Wiseacre in that case I understand. Vaccines are of course not thoroughly tested on every combination of disorders, so your body may react differently than the general population. And if you've already experienced that to be the case with other medication, it's wise to be sceptical.

That context is important though. Posts like these without that may turn healthy people away from vaccines too, and fan the flames of distrust in science.

@NerdyPotato thnx!
