If you read my posts more carefully, you would have recognized that I never gave medical advice. I just related to the situation through my own experience and perspective.
My pediatrists at birth already prevented any further vaccines after my first set, because they've seen firsthand what catastrophic effects they had on my particular weak immunity.
You talk about ethics a lot, yet it seems you do not consider the consequences of your words or actions on other people.
We should help other people to make an informed balanced choice about vaccination. Some people are sensitive to vaccinations, and these people need to carefully weigh up the options, and try to make the best choice for them. You have done that for yourself, you have made your own decision; but you poison the online vaccine debate with your ferociously negative views on the COVID vaccines.
Anyone reading your views on COVID vaccines, and taking your views to heart, might become too frightened to take the vaccine. So your posts poison the debate and unbalance the minds of other people. I understand that you do not want to take the vaccine, and that's perfectly acceptable.
But ethics means thinking about the effect of your words and actions on others; and your words may result in unbalancing the decision process in other people.
I know some ME/CFS patients online who have had serious side effects from the COVID vaccines, such as their ME/CFS illness becoming permanently worse after being vaccinated. These people will post their vaccine story online.
But to their credit, even though they were harmed by the vaccine, they do not condemn it, and they make a point of saying that they are not anti-vaccine, and that they generally think that vaccines are a good thing. They make it clear in their words that they do not want to put people off taking the COVID vaccine, because they still believe these vaccines are generally beneficial, even though they were one of a small number of unlucky people who experienced adverse effects from the vaccine.
That is a shining example of ethics, and consideration for other people, which you would do well to follow. You must not just think of your own perspective and your own medical needs when discussing vaccines; if you are ethical, you must consider the circumstances of others, and you must consider the effect your words have on others.
People who are considerate to others will always post a balanced account of these vaccine.
You are not the only one here who shows no consideration for others. There are lots of people on this vaccine thread who only think of themselves and their own perspective, but do not consider the effect of their words on other people.
