And this is the current problem. None of us can be experts in everything, so you have to eventually rely on "experts". So who do you trust?
Exactly.
A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with multiple watches is never sure.
I trusted myself, common sense, and my mistrust of big pharma and it went pretty well for me.

That was the craziest part of Covid to me.
Watching leftists, including some socialists and communists, become the biggest shills Big Pharma has ever had was freaking mindboggling.

In other words, a crapshoot. My point exactly. I had a conversation with my medical provider when the vacs became available. It's an OD practice, not MD, if it matters. I told him no way in Hell I was taking an mRNA vax. He thought I was unnecessarily concerned, but respected my decision. Under duress (yes, I'm married) I did take one dose of the J&J. I did end up with a mild (IMO) case of COVID per a clinical test (which again I took under the same duress) and the worst thing about it was losing sense of smell and taste for a few months. Bottom line, I wish there was an authority I could trust, but now more than ever, there isn't. And if there was, it wouldn't be any entity with a financial stake in the advice.
