@nRiTeCh

Salutes !!!

Even after taking 3 allergic kind of PFizer mRNA vaccines (it was compulsory where I work, not in India), I compelled my family to take vaccine (in India, took them personally to hospital :oops: ).
I even assured my friend about why his 14yrs old son should take PFizer mRNA vaccine.
Now I feel shameful and cheated. :p
I feel risk of harm should have been prominently and independently disclosed by relevant authorities.

My funda was clear right from the first vaccine. I'm waiting for AIO final sure shot vaccine like we got few when we were newborns and kids.
Its just a game played with 1 dose ,2 and now 3, may be tomorrow 4 and it will go on and on abusing our body! I know thats the best one can do and medical science has came with this temporary solution.
Add to that, I have witnessed very healthy doctors/medical family people deaths even after fully vaccinated and maintaining taking every precautions.
 
.There was one good interview of an old or we can say very senior Indian epidemiologist .He clearly stated every Indian will be affected by covid 19 the sole purpose of this vaccination drive was to decrease fatality rate .So nowadays you might even suffer from mild fever it could be now due to covid19 virus or it could be influenza virus .So our body is kind of trained so i think no need to worry about booster shots until somebody is very weak

True! And even said some will automatically develop immune system which will fight covid just like a normal flu without even realizing it nor taking any covid medicine.
One of the few who haven't got covid in spite of living with a covid patient aka my wife last year during the deadly delta infections. No option/nor could leave her alone in her serious condition, both were living in the same
room battling for betterment and survival!
Again not acting any oc nor showcasing any greatness but that period was very delicate and full of tensions and anxieties when the entire world was coping with delta.
Salute to those who braved, battled and survived!

@Arjun is right. Coronavirus works like flu. Flu is a short form for Influenza. It's the infection itself. It gives you cold, fever, sore throat etc. It's that virus. You have had it tons of times like any other person. The virus keeps changing and they have to bring different flu shot every year. Nobody has been able to find a sure shot vaccine that kills flu once in for all. Same will be true for coronavirus. It will keep changing its signature and they will have to keep changing the vaccine formula.

In India, the flu shot is usually taken by important people like celebrity or politicians who can't afford to catch cold or fever. Normal people don't take it and aren't even aware about it.

Seen the same thing in family.

Now I feel tremendously sad and remorseful, I pushed them to do vaccination.
Some of them are now unwell, getting occasional influenza like syndromes which never was an issue for them till recent.
@Arjun Another sole family member who regularly used to take influenza vaccine is never infected even after continuous interaction with Covid19 +ve patients (he had to take those vaccine as per the guidelines from country he regularly visit for career reasons).

There were some pseudo scientific WHO hypocrites here, seems to be banned now due to other reasons (I was even sympathetic for their causes and reasons). Damn sure those ilks still will come with pseudo scientific excuses for this bullshit. Anyways, internationally, many of my friends who managed to take weakest vaccines (Chinese kind) looks safe and happy now. Wondering whether there are any real true intend behind brutal Chinese lock-downs, may be they know better ?

Sad and confusing state of affairs.

true about last line. But my father has begun to take those shots and definitely there is a difference .i do recommend a taking flu shots atleast for elderly you will definitely have less doctor visits /less fevers.
 
Flu is also a coronavirus like covid. In India FLu shots are prescribed to elderly with comorbities. Pneumonia shots are also prescribed.

i do work in a MNC , and i have multiple Chinese counterparts ,they are in a bad situation .People want international vaccines in china .As the Chinese vaccines are ineffective and people are still suffering from covid. One of my counterpart has his passport expired and china isn't renewing it he cant move out of country and people who lived hand to mouth are in a very bad shape due to lockdown all of their savings have gone and there are no free grains program for the poor so they are on their own. Atleast india had some free rationing for certain set of people for quite a while (idk how many actually got the benefit but we had a program) .But i am still amazed with our covid vaccine program .That platform should be carried forward for all polio etc and other vaccine program
 
Fully understand current plight of people in China which is unimaginable. Feel really sympathetic towards their life situation. That is a different topic altogether.
But, after 2nd and even 3rd PFizer mRNA vaccine doses, there are tons of people who got infected. Add vaccine allergies or similar side effects which are rampant and unreported. People are so silenced that they can't even dare to talk about that (personal experience here).
So, vaccinations are not always that helping, at least for lot of people.
To add to that, seems those who took Chinese vaccines does didn't have side effects and are faring safer.

And current statements by our govt. does not give enough confidence, you see...
 
The only issue we will have now is that if you have not taken the vaccine then you might face some travel restrictions i suppose. I am worried of the same. the issue is that this is not only a pendamic but a good business opportunities for many sectors to make profits so this thing is not going any were. I am much more of what @nRiTeCh is saying issue will always be there with something not proven to masses.
 
Now, there are vaccine passports or plans to implement those between countries. So, times indeed are becoming kind of 'interesting'.
Wondering about number of vaccines to be taken by a normal person in future, issues they will face...

I'm gonna take vaccine as even though govt. has clearly mentioned vaccination isn't a mandate anymore, cos. and others see this as an exploitation option.
But the thing is mere vaccination ka muhurat nahi mil raha :tearsofjoy: whenever I think of getting one, flu or something hits me!
So I have left it with the stars whether they want me to get vaccinated or not..

One issue i know is - the manufacturer of Covishield vaccine here has stopped producing vaccines and it's in limited stock with private hospitals only. So anyone who did not care to vaccinate on time will have to pay for every dose of Covishield. It's selling for about 350 or so now but soon it will go up. Same thing will happen to the other vaccines when they go oos.

Plus most countries are mandating 4 shots with about 90 days between shots. Anyone wanting to travel needs to keep getting their booster shots either in India or outside.
 
In future, it will not be about Covid19 alone, influenza, sars, mers, bcg, tetanus, malaria, measles, rubella, polio versions, etc. etc., with new virus variants too.
When visiting different countries, there are different requirements too where it is mandatory to take vaccines for deceases prevalent there.
