The Last Poster Wins [v28]

I've heard there's issues with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine (sad because I work for Ethicon which is a division of J&J and Janssen had such high hopes for this thing), but I think the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are still ok.

I just do NOT want to get hit with this thing and so many other members of my family have already gotten their second shot by now. If it means getting a booster shot later or an updated one to address new strains and make up for deficiencies in the first round of shots, I have no problem with that and I'll get that too when the time comes, but right now not having anything at all makes me feel naked in terms of protection.

But yeah, being nailed for two weeks, barely able to breathe, with constant fevers and possible risk of permanent lung damage, no thanks.

Lucky for you, J&J's issues only have been appearing in women at the moment, so our AMAB members should be good to go. J&J is currently being reviewed for a literal one in a million chance (no i am not exaggerating on that) of an increased risk of blood clotting problems. It's unclear of the J&J vaccine is actually the source itself or, based on the demographic of people who have been impacted by it, it's actually related to birth control (since that also can have the same effect). Either way, for now it's being pulled so no one has to worry about it.

Modern and Pfizer are still being used as they have no issues at this time and are therefore safe to get.
