Something to consider about flu (including Covid) shots


Recommended Posts

When my wife and I got our shots, flu in her case and Covid in mine, within several days she got the flu and I got Covid.  So here is something we might all need to consider.  It takes about 2 weeks for the shots to become effective.  The side effects of the shots are like mild, or more severe, versions of what the shot is for and they occur quickly after the shot.  In other words, after the shot is your immune system compromised trying to build up resistance so exposure to the virus might tip you into the disease.  So it may be true when the doctors say you can't get Covid from the shot, but if you're exposed to the virus when you've got shot side effects are you in danger?   Should we be quarantined for 2 weeks after our shots?  Is giving people shots when the flu is rampant only adding to the problem?

the flu shot isn't effective against all strains of flu

the flu shot is made to protect against three types of flu

you can still get other strains of flu that it doesn't protect against

they just go with the three most common strains when making the flu shot

the Covid shot is simply designed to give you a fighting chance against Covid if you are immunocompromised

it doesn't actually prevent you from catching Covid
