When you were in your 20's, would you have taken the Covid vaccination?

[Red Pest]

79. YES! Of course, because I was earning any of my three degrees in microbiology and...

I had been ill with measles, chickenpox, and influenza as a child, as had all my younger siblings. I knew that vaccines worked from my studies in microbiology. Further, after the last time I got influenza I vowed that as soon as there was a vaccine available I would take it to prevent being so sick again. I get a flu vaccination every year. Mrs. Red Pest & I got our mRNA-based covid vaccinations as soon as we were eligible.

Anyone who has contracted influenza knows that it comes on very quickly and feels like you were hit by a truck. Ill for a week and another week to fully recover. So, when some idiot says that a covid-19 infection is "only" like a bad flu, well, so worse than getting hit by a truck.

Vaccines work! Smallpox (#1 killer of humans) is extinct because of vaccination (the original vaccine!) Polio could be extinct if it wasn't for insane jihadists killing vaccination teams in certain parts of the world.

For the record, Mrs. Red Pest (now retired) was a researcher who helped to monitor and test the effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine during trials. how many children saved world-wide because of that vaccine? I have patents on vaccines and for methods to develop vaccines for animals and humans. We (my laboratory and collaborators) continue to investigate mechanisms of virulence in pathogenic bacteria and mechanisms of probiotic activity in probiotic bacteria.
