Unsurprisingly, lately my email inbox has been flooded with questions from clients and members of my EmpowerEd program on the COVID-19 injections. Let me stress at the outset that I do not give advice on medical procedures. However, I do believe in the principle of informed consent which was enshrined in the
I don't know how I stumbled on your blog, but you are so funny. My first issue with your articles is that you outrightly show your own bias by calling the vaccine, 'injection'. Secondly, you go on this whole argument that the risk of getting COVID-19 is low. I would like to inform the people who may or may not read this horribly bias take of the coronavirus vaccine. The point in getting vaccinated is for public health. It is not individual health, but it is for protecting the people who are unable to be vaccinated due to auto-immune disorders or other disorders that impact their immune system. To obtain herd immunity, healthy individuals need to be vaccinated by about 90% of the population. So your take that its not worth getting the vaccine, is not only irresponsible, but incredibly misinformed. As a microbiologist, the vaccine reduces the replication of the virus within the body, therefore reducing infectivity and the possibility of variation between strains. So while yes, you may be asymptomatic/mildly sick if you contract covid, vaccination will reduce its ability to replicate in your body and thus infect other people. Just because you say vocab words, does not mean you actually know what the hell you are talking about. Leave science for the scientists. Please and thank you. Remember public health, not individual health. IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU. It is about protecting those in your community (i.e children, and the chronically ill) #getvaxxed :)
Awesome work
