My immune system has never had any problems fighting off the yearly flu or other viral infections in the past despite not getting a vaccine. I was never given a vaccine for chicken pox either and instead was just put into a daycare with other kids who had it, contracted it, fought it off and I’m fine today… same with Covid. Until the vaccines have been out for a couple years and the technology/newer science put into mRNA vaccines isn’t as new and we can account for why the various side effects are happening, it makes me hesitant.
