Gremlin, it is not the short-term effect that worries me, though I'm glad to hear that your cousin is doing ok after receiving the jab. It is the long-term effect. Not that this would probably apply to me personally as I am even older than you (AND Cashy) but I worry about the younger people who have the vaccination. We all know that the reason why normally new vaccines and drugs are tested and reactions observed for sometimes 5 years and even longer is because unforeseen reactions and problems can occur and have to be fixed before the drug is put on the market. The old adage 'better to be safe than sorry' applies.

I sincerely hope that there are no adverse effects (especially serious ones) that appear when it's too late to do anything about them, but let's face it, this vaccine is really still only in an experimental stage going off past procedures.

I think I will have to think long and hard before I put out my arm for the jab, but isn't it great that we can make up our own minds as to what to do.
