I had zero reaction to my J&J vaccine… Im over 65.
the nurse that gave me the vaccine, maybe in her 30s, warned me to expect severe pain in the injection arm (which was her reaction), that would prevent me from sleeping on that side for days.
one of my daughters, in her 30s, fainted a few minutes after her J&J shot. She was fine after that.
I heard somewhere, that younger people have stronger immune systems than senior citizens, so people with strong immune systems can develop More Severe reactions to the vaccine… this is supposedly a good sign, that their immune system is fighting hard…
I dont know…
as to immunity after getting covid, my Stanford Biology daughter tells me that it would be best to add a vaccination, after having had covid… the protection is greater
I respect that people do what they do based on their best intentions
I also agree that a corona test can be negative, when the person is asymptomatic. Unfortunately, testing negative for corona is not a guarantee. Sometimes the test wont be positive until 5+ days after infection.
This is why my Biologist daughter, waits a week to get tested after doing anything risky, like, eating indoors at a restaurant, or attending a crowded parade.
I hope everyone continues to stay safe, wear masks, and get vaccinated. In my experience, Unvaccinated people are at higher risk than Vaccinated people. Plus Unvaccinated people put others at risk. Especially now that the mask mandates are being lifted. There is no way to tell by looking at someone, whether their mask is off because they are Vaccinated, or it is off because they decided to gamble on their natural immunity.
There is a difference between what is good for self, that only affects self. When I make choices that put others at higher risk, then we are facing the issue of social responsibility, not individual liberty.
imo, unvaccinated people, especially those not wearing masks, should stay away from Senior Citizens. Going to hospital is dangerous, and people die of things they catch there.
