the danger is insignificant. you have more risk of dying of 1000 different other things. i believe it's my body my choice. anyone who takes the vaccine should be protected.
Yea, even in states where there is a religious exemption, I think there still will be numerous legal issues that will come up.
I am surprised, yet not surprised, at people's reaction, if not being obtuse, to the concerns about the vaccine many people have. I think it is perfectly reasonable to question such things like this, it is not like there is 50 years of history behind this vaccine, even the type is brand new. There are people who have gotten every vaccine they should, their entire lives, and are pausing with a question regarding this one.
This whole situation reminds me of an old "Twilight Zone" episode.
A spaceship with aliens on it lands on earth, and among the items the aliens have is a book (mysteriously titled in English) "How to Serve Man." Everyone is tripping over themselves to welcome the aliens who want to "serve mankind". Unfortunately, what they really learn is that the book is a cookbook, and that the aliens didn't come out of altruism, but out of hunger.
To answer the original question, my husband is going to try to find out if he has the antibodies already, in case that eliminates the requirement for the vaccination.

There is more and more evidence accumulating that having had the disease and even having antibodies is not a guarantee of immunity from future infection.

Covis19_84 is a virus, much like OTHER COVID viruses.
Could you define the "disease" it causes?
Other COVID viruses cause what's known as the "common cold"; not a well defined DISEASE.

And more and more evidence is accumulating that the vaccination does not prevent infection, only lessens the severity of the symptoms.

"Cases" is NOT a "disease".
There is no "Covis19_84".
The virus is SARS-CoV-2.
The disease it causes is COVID-19. There are no other "COVID" viruses, though there are other coronaviruses that usually only cause the cluster of symptoms we call the common cold. There are other viruses, including adenoviruses and rhinoviruses that also cause colds.
Most people who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 do not develop COVID-19. COVID-19 requires symptoms for the diagnosis. Just a positive test is not sufficient.
Source, please. As far as I can tell that information has not been reported yet.
Moderna and Pfizer have data from monkey studies showing their vaccines do prevent infection.
"These observations suggest that we cannot assume COVID-19 vaccines, even if shown to be effective in reducing severity of disease, will reduce virus transmission to a comparable degree. The notion that COVID-19-vaccine-induced population immunity will allow a return to pre-COVID-19 “normalcy” might be based on illusory assumptions."
"people often ask me, ‘Will this vaccine work?’ That seems such a simple question, and it’s so complex. There are so many caveats to answer: What do we mean when we say a vaccine ‘works?’ Does it mean it prevents diseases and infection, or does it mean to prevent transmission? And I think the most important vaccine that we need is one that prevents severe disease and death because that is what causes the most burden in our hospitals and of course loss of life. That’s what we’re all aiming for."
Everything I have read indicates this is like the flu shot, not like a polio or smallpox vaccine.
