I wouldn't if I were them. 

Yeah I'm sure no one would like the reception they would have from all of the accepting non judgmental people around these parts. 

I'm feelin' a bit judgey at this point. Seriously, there is zero reason to not get the shot if you are medically able. and the longer they wait, the longer (and potentially deadly for all of us) this becomes. 

I don't know if I've seen this discussed here or not but how about the women who have taken the vaccine and now have irregular menstrual cycles?

Ever since taking the shot in April, my wife has has very irregular menstrual cycles. I didn't put it together until recently I've seen news stories about other people having the same issue. Obviously, this isn't worse than getting COVID and dying but why would this be? I don't think this happens with other MRNA shots but why is this happening with this one and what are the long effects of this? No one knows because THIS vaccine hasn't been around long enough. 

I'm not saying without a doubt this is the reason why it is happening but it is happening and it isn't just 1 or 2 women. If the shot is causing this, it does concern me what the long term effects are. We aren't planning on having any more children but this does worry me because I have 3 daughters that aren't quite of age to get the vaccine yet. Regardless, I am still leaning towards giving them the vaccine but this is something unknown and it does concern me quite a bit.

I wouldn't blame others for having this same concern. The female body is nothing short of a miracle and we are injecting something that is changing it.

What is the % of fully vaccinated reporting side effects and how long-lasting or permanently damaging are they?

As of right now, no one can answer that question with 100% certainty.

As for the news story from BU, the study won't be finished until Spring of 2022. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there is no evidence but can we fully trust them? https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/09/28/cdc-under-attack/

If Trump can "ruin" the CDC's credibility then they really weren't that credible to begin with, were they? My point being is that politics are involved and it doesn't matter what side you are on, politics and politicians are corrupt. Some are honest and some tell the truth but there are many that do not.

More than two-thirds of Congress cashed a pharma campaign check in 2020, new STAT analysis shows

https://www.statnews.com/feature/prescription-politics/federal-full-data-set/

No one can tell me that these members of Congress hold stock in pharma to help the health of the people. They hold stock for the money involved. Money and politicians can make anything corrupt.

I've given my experience on what is going on with my wife and I have every right to be concerned about the health of my 3 daughters. No one knows the long term effects of this vaccine. I hear that MRNA vaccines are tried and true but why is this vaccine causing this?

One more news story, https://qz.com/2045518/does-the-covid-19-vaccine-affect-womens-periods/

"There is one potential side effect of Covid-19 vaccines that has been reported consistently, and just as consistently ignored: changes to the menstrual cycles."

I'm only a male so this coming from me doesn't mean as much but a women wrote this story and she feels like this has been reported consistently and ignored consistently.

As a father of daughters, this does concern me. Why would the CDC ignore this issue that has been consistently reported?

Bianchi says her team at NIH expedited its grant funding process for this research. “There was an urgency to it, the fact that this was getting so much attention. We were worried this was contributing to vaccine hesitancy in reproductive-age women,” from the article

So what is of greater concern vaccine hesitancy or women's reproductive health?

My body, my choice, right?

I personally know 3 men that have died of COVID. I don't personally know any women that have died of COVID. I know plenty that have gotten it and survived.

Not that my personal experience means anything but I can see how this could concern women.

Yes that is my point I think people are being very self righteous when it comes to pointing out the very valid concerns of others around this topic.  People especially women aren't wrong to be concerned about this.

Its fair to be concerned. But does that give us the right to spread respiratory droplets? Its fair to not want the vaccine, but those who make that choice should be willing to make sacrifices to offset the risk they bring into the public domain.

Its fair that people are making a risk assessment and within certain demographics people are categorizing covid risk as low. But this virus will spread until it finds a high risk target. Covid changed the modern world. Plenty of us have shown we care little about the risk we give to others.

Let's say the technology existed to trace an infection to its source, and our govt had the ability to charge spreaders who engaged in risky behavior, such as interacting in public while unvaccinated, for healthcare costs of all downstream infections.  Would those opposing the vaccines be as cavalier under that scenario?

If they get off as lightly as tobacco and oil companies for the health damages they have done I don't see why not.  Of course that kind of tracing would be a very special kind of invasion of privacy so it is something we hopefully will never have to worry about.

Shut up and dribble 

*** unfortunately I feel the need to come back and say I’m fully vaccinated. Instead of only focusing on lunatics who have insane conspiracy theories about the vaccination, there’s also plenty of people who sound like this guy that get brushed to the side. 

I don't see what's so complicated about this. 

Get vaccinated, follow the public health mandates if you're unvaccinated, or stay isolated. Take one of the three options.

Sometimes I wish we lived in a benevolent dictatorship. 

Edit: Just to add, this guy was calm, collected, and reasonable. If these were the typical objections and the typical tone, I don't think "anti-vaxxers" would have the reputation they do today. The loudest objections have been politically driven.
