Yeah I'll have to see what's available, was it the moderna that was the highest dose? Maybe a better question is which to avoid? J&J was my first choice but it seems like that's been most in the news as having issues, still very low risk i know I'd just rather skip the whole thing.
I've been vaxxed with AZ, but that's off the table now in most countries because of the bloodclotting issue. I've seen most of my clients (these are generally people of average health at best) get vaxxed with Moderna, no issues. So that's one I can sort of vouch for. J & J has something going on recently with the Syndrome of Guillain-Barré, which (though extremely rare) can lead to paralysis. Most people seem to recover.

Most unvaccinated Americans don’t want shots and doubt they work against delta variant: Poll
Most Americans who haven’t been vaccinated against COVID-19 say they are unlikely to get the shots and doubt they would work against the aggressive delta variant despite evidence they do, according…

Conservative radio host regrets COVID vaccine hesitancy
A conservative talk radio host from Tennessee who had been a vaccine skeptic until he was hospitalized from COVID-19 now says his listeners should get vaccinated
Another dangerous idiot learning the hard way.
"Phil Valentine also said that he was "taking vitamin D like crazy" and had found a doctor who agreed to prescribe ivermectin, a drug used to treat parasites in animals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns against taking ivermectin for COVID-19, advising that it is not an anti-viral drug and can be dangerous."
Scared of the vaccine, not scared of ivermectin. Bravo, sir.
As was pointed out earlier, are people who became paralyzed from a rare but horrible vaccine side effect meant to learn a lesson too?Conservative radio host regrets COVID vaccine hesitancy

Downplaying the chances of getting severely ill or killed by Covid, yet playing up the infinitesimal odds of getting paralyzed by the vaccine. Ok.
We were talking about you celebrating people getting what they deserved, nice dodge
Yeah, so from my perspective, all it takes to create a stereotypical anti-vaxxer is someone of average (or lower) intelligence, who is somewhat prone to magical thinking, and then for this person to read an article about or see a documentary about the opiate debacle in the us. The person will then end up with the fully justifiable feeling that both the pharma companies that propagated this and the authorities who looked the other way cannot be wholly trusted. Now all you need is some time on the internet and confirmation bias, seeking out info that further info that scaffolds your beliefs, and there you go. To my mind, it doesn't really matter whether these people believe that Bill Gates is a lizard who wants to implant them with chips or that millions are being secretly culled by the new world order. The original feeling of distrust of / disillusionment with authority is still justified. The original fault that created this atmosphere of paranoia still lies with the pharma companies and authorities that betrayed the trust that was placed in them. It is theirs to correct. If they had behaved conscientiously this epidemic of conspiratorial beliefs could never have found root.

You'll be fine with whatever one you get. Honestly, don't worry about it. The chances of having any serious side effects are minimal.
Also, kudos to you for doing it. I know you have your reservations, but you appear to be putting your loved ones well being and needs ahead of your own, and that should be applauded
I think the Autism scare has been pretty much debunked. But then again, what can I say, I have a mild form of autism, LOL. First thing I said when we (me and my colleagues) learned we were going to have to get vaxxed for work was "I already have autism, so got nuthin' to lose..."
I'm celebrating one less idiot with a radio show infecting the minds of his listeners with anti vaccine conspiracy theories. Anyone who actually wants this country to return to normal should be pushing the vaccine instead of scaring people. He learned the stupid way, but at least now he's pro vax.
Dear lord, bring on the next NPC...
Yeah ok, I'm sorry, maybe a bit too aggressive, I'll cool it
bro it's fine that you don't trust them, but don't act like there isn't mounting amount of evidence and research that shows that you can.
The vaccines? Yeah sure. Pharmaceutical Companies? Different story.
What I mean to say is that there may be some parts of it that are true in different specific cases, but on the whole it's bunk. It's true that anti vaxxers can't tell us much about vaccines. But they do know something about the people that are making them available. But I guess I've driven that point into the ground now, I'll give it a rest
I actually agree with you. But I think the movements going on to quash anyone, especially potentially credible people, sort of entrenches the idea in some people's minds. I think it's possible to win the debate about covid vaccines with reality. I can tell you that I have seen the impact of the vaccines in the patients we see at the hospital I work at. Most people can be convinced by the facts. But if they feel like the people in charge are trying to hide things, they'll go the other way.
There is no "returning to normal" ever again. The pre-covid world is not coming back and people need to realize it already. Covid is probably gonna be endemic anyways just deal with it.
I am dealing with it. I got vaccinated.
Then blame your government for placing restrictions for so long. Vaccines are readily available in the US so they could just open everything up and let people decide if they want to take the jab or not. I haven't seen a single antivaxxer say that they want any kind of restrictions. Unless you don't trust the efficacy of the vaccine then that is another story.
Of course antivaxxers want no restrictions. They're idiots.
But you want things to go back to normal and at the same time want restrictions. If they are so dumb then why not open up everything, lift restrictions and let them die if they don't want to get vaccinated? I don't understand.
Because antivaxxers can pass covid on to people and children who can't get vaccinated. This isn't difficult to comprehend.
You can't really be this dumb. It has to be willful ignorance.
We could have been back to normal or close to what "normal" was if we achieved herd immunity. But of course, the more people decide to not get the vaccine, the more it could spread and eventually mutate. Covid is probably here to stay now, but we could have done so much better and kept infections at a minimum.
Why do we need that hypothetical? We didn't have the doses or capability to administer that many in one month.
Well then I goes we have covid season to join the yearly flu season since that never went away either.
Sweet, after a hundred years we cured the Spanish flu and nobody noticed
You been outside lately anywhere in America?
Wrong. They can block transmission.
