[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I promise I'm not a paranoid still wearing masks, but can the folks saying no say why? At this point, why isn't it any different from getting the flu shot?[/quote]

I’m glad you have the courage to ask. You have some homework to do.

What are the ingredients of the Covid vaccines? How do they differ from normal vaccines? What are the side effects? [/quote]

It has less to do with the vaccine itself than with the different ways in which the flu and Covid mutate. Paul Offit, who is a highly credentialed vaccine expert, has explained this well. Here is a short post on the issue:

https://pauloffit.substack.com/p/does-everyone-need-a-yearly-covid

"By likening SARS-CoV-2 to influenza, we have created the false perception that healthy young people who have already been vaccinated or naturally infected or both will be protected against severe disease only if they receive the updated vaccine."

He also notes, as I have noted before in this thread, the US is now an outlier. Teens don't need Covid boosters, and that is not an anti-vax position, unless you want to call Paul Offit an anti-vaxxer. In which case, no one can help you.[/quote]
