People reading this forum: Regardless of the disinformation that is constantly repeated on social media, and on forums like this, the fact is that as of now, 1 out of every 500 people in the United States have already died because of covid-19. It is also a fact that for many months we have had a vaccine available that is safe and effective against covid-19. But if you are in doubt, ask your own doctor. They will tell you the truth. Do not trust 3rd hand stories of someone's doctor who said this or that. I'm not even asking you to trust me. Just trust your own doctor - the one who knows you personally - the one you meet face to face, and ignore all the social media and forum postings. That's what I have done. And that is how I have come to understand that the vaccines are safe and effective - more effective than horse dewormer or any other fad treatment that may be circulating.
