There is no need to apologize for "keeping up the vaccine talk", as the subject is entirely germane to our lifestyle, as well as society in general. In fact, with the exception of perhaps AIDS, there has never been a health care subject that is more relevant to our lifestyle.
And you bring up some important considerations. There is a great deal of confusion regarding the question of, Who should be vaccinated and when? And, of course, What are the risks of administering the vaccine to people who do not need it?
In light of the many recent revelations regarding the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and many of its top bureaucrats, we can be certain it is neither an unprejudiced nor purely science-based source of information on the subject of COVID-19 and everything it entails. We know the CDC has manipulated information and deliberately mislead the public on a number of issues--everything from the subject of masks, to so-called "herd immunity", to a frank and full disclosure about the inherent risks associated with the vaccine, and so on.
The CDC is now acknowledging there is a "likely association" between the vaccine and the development of a serious heart condition in adolescents and young adults, particularly males. And this is not an exceedingly rare complication. There have been more than 1,200 reported instances of people developing either an enlarged heart (myocarditis) or an enlargement of the tissue that surrounds the heart (pericarditis.) It is reasonable to presume the number of reported instances will continue to climb as more people are vaccinated and as the reporting of such instances catches up with the statisticians.
That the CDC continues to "recommend" young, healthy people be administered the vaccine is, to say the least, shocking. Its own statistical analysis demonstrates healthy adolescents and young adults represent one of the portions of the population that is least likely to develop any significant complications from COVID-19. In my view, knowingly administering a vaccine that is statistically unnecessary to an otherwise healthy person that results in a life threatening heart condition is tantamount to criminal medical negligence.
Regarding the millions of people in the US who have already had COVID-19 and recovered, the medical evidence to suggest there is any significant benefit to taking the vaccine is, at best, quite murky and, as we established above, the vaccine carries with it both known, and unknown, current and future potential medical complications.
So, yes, it is entirely reasonable for informed people to have significant reservations about the vaccine. In terms of our lifestyle play, we continue to maintain the same safety protocols we implemented at the beginning of the pandemic. We remain convinced we have not seen the last of the many facets of this "crisis" and expect there are many chapters in this book that have yet to be written. Some of those chapters are going to be quite unflattering to our so-called medical experts and government bureaucracies.
