#12Product manufacturer recommends use of its product. Surprise!
Unclear why the cynicism is warranted here. They’re not just making a guess, they performed an experiment that is inline with a comparable experiment from non affiliated SA scientists to yield these results.
Should they not run this type of experiment and make a useful and true recommendation to the public? Would that be a better more pure scenario for you?

#13Is "First Shot" "Second Shot" and "Booster" the same as 3 "doses"?
According to the CVS person who did my booster, the booster for Pfizer is a full dose while the Moderna booster is a half dose (relative to each manufacturer's original first and second shot doses).
Worth noting that Moderna uses a larger dosis then Pfizer for the first and second shot.

Not deadly enough _to you_. I'm sure those who are vulnerable will thank you immensely for your compassion.

If they can show that the product helps to save lifes and at some point get back to a normalcy, and especially if there’s no other significantly better product available, I really don’t have an issue with that.

#16Not to hijack the thread: why is my post being flagged? I'm asking a genuine question!
I was linking to UK Government data here [0] and asking about the numbers.
They're not adding up. I want to know if my interpretation is correct

Crazy idea: Just take it, suffer no negative consequences and be fine!

Probably because Moderna’s original shot was already a higher dosage than Pfizers.

You are aware that while the covid vaccines protect against severe illness and death, they don't prevent somebody catching and spreading the virus?
