I'm thinking of getting the vaccine soon but I still have reservations though about the whole fetus cell line thing

I also don't want anything weird happening this month, so maybe I'll get it in September.

If I take it i want to make sure I have a few days off work just to process it mentally and physically.

The thing also is once you take it there is no going back.

Well, you're up to the risk of catching delta; I'd say contracting cv-19 qualifies as weird things you wouldn't want to experience this month.

@Elessar I need more convincing idk I'm just not sure how I'm going to feel after it.

@dark548 most I know who had the vaccine told me that their arm just hurt for a day. And mind you these are people 65+.

@dark548 The problem with this virus is that by the time it convinces you it's too late for doing anything, usually. Vaccines are any effective if taken 2+ weeks before exposure (the more the better), treatments once symptoms appear may help but may also not do anything at all. It's a bit like playing russian roulette.

@basilfawlty89 but I'm also speaking emotionally and psychologically. Almost everyone in my family got it, heck even the church i used to go to promotes it now. It just feels weird like I'm losing something or succumbing. I have these feelings that i need to work through.

@dark548 you're succumbing to logic and reason. There's no shame in that.

@basilfawlty89 i know but I have all these irrational thoughts i need to work through.

@dark548 Vaccines have been rolling since Q1/2021, if you didn't manage to convince yourself in all this time I doubt a single month will. Just make sure not to have regrets with your choice, there is at least a new case everyday who, once hospitalized, begs the HCW to administer them the vaccine (which is refused since absolutely useless at that point).
