And you have nothing.

quote Originally posted by Raydar: Update: I asked her. She said if there was such a test, it would be available on a much larger scale, and widely known. (In other words, it wouldn't just be available to a smaller company. And if it were a large company, everyone would likely know about it.) Edit - So yeah... I still think your so-called test is imaginary. UNLESS... Unless you just had some sort of known allergy that would automatically exclude you from taking the vax. Which, if that's the case, I wonder why you didn't just say that in the first place. Edit 2 - There are two identified potential allergies. Polyethylene Glycol. And Polysorbate 80. Polyethylene Glycol allergies are so uncommon that some allergen experts go for decades and see only one or two cases. Polysorbate 80 is an ingredient of some common items, so I suspect reactions could be more frequent. Food shortening, gum, ice cream, gelatin, vitamins, condiments But I suspect that's not going to be good enough for you either. So however you want to spin this, it looks like you win. At least in your mind. But back up a bit... When I first mentioned her, I simply stated that her background and opinion were good enough to satisfy any misgivings that *I* might have had about taking the vax. I didn't attempt to tell you that you were wrong. To tell the truth, I don't give much of a fsck what you, or anyone else, put into your body. Or don't. (I *did* hear that bleach works well.) You seem to be hell-bent on telling me, and anyone else who has taken the vax that we're wrong. If I've misconstrued that well...

Well, as least you did something. I don't know what company size has to do with it. It was a doctor. Many people are ignorant of many things. Doesn't change facts. Apparently you assumed that my employer had something to do with this, other than telling us to get it done. Actually, it was a client, but either way.

I'll take your word for those terms. No idea what they are, and don't care. Nothing to do with me.

My point in posting was to be helpful. There are obviously many facts of which you're unaware. The vaccine is not an option for everyone. I sincerely wanted to know why the vaccine would negatively impact me. I do not know what is in it (and really don't want to know chemicals). I do want to know why a vaccine would have such effects. The people who explained to me may as well have been speaking Greek, for all the good it did me. I know how to extract DNS from celery, for example, and have done it. Makes no sense whatsoever to me, but you can do it easily at home. I suspect many people have not done it. Their lack of knowledge/experience is just that, as is yours, here.

Never did I state an opinion on anyone getting a COVID vaccine. In fact, I stated that each person had to make their own choice. Maybe you were so "hell-bent" on attacking me, you failed to read and understand. My objection, as stated prdviously, was people forcing this on others. This forum is really a group-think cesspool.

So, your "expert" is unfamiliar... When I originally posted, I was willing to share offline what the issue was, since I was trying to be helpful, but I remember why I left here. You, in fact, stated that your wife, with advanced degrees, "understood how the vaccine works". Are you now retracting that? Everyone "understands how the vaccine works" to that degree, or they (hopefully) wouldn't just go get the vaccine.

You questioned whether or not I would have gotten the vaccine, had I been cleared. That's fair. I don't know. Likely not. Just being honest. In the same vein, I have to wonder if, had you known about the compatibility test, would you have taken it?

The fact remains that I asked a number of basic questions that you have not answered.
