After I hyped the COVID vaccines’ effectiveness people have been tweeting me about this batch of six allergic reactions in San Diego. It’s important for regulators to monitor this stuff but don’t lose perspective: The virus is killing like 500 a day in CA. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-01-18/moderna-vaccine-allergic-reaction-california-batch

If I had to pick between a lottery chance of having a treatable allergic reaction to an amazingly >95% effective vaccine or contracting an unrecognizable virus that hijacks genetic production inside my body and kills millions in miserable ICU deaths, I’d get the shot. thanks

Oh you’re worried about getting a headache and a sore arm for a day in exchange for what is the closest thing to a guarantee in life that you’re not gonna suffocate to death in an ICU where your friends and family can’t come visit and say goodbye? I’ll take your dose. thanks
