What are the expected consequences to someone currently suffering from undiagnosed Covid who gets a vaccine?
... the same can hold true of supplements, yet we feel like because they're "natural" they only have benefits. So perception is the decider on what we put into our bodies, not knowledge about it.
I don't deal with vaccines much, but I think usually the allergy is to a component. some are made using eggs and such. I think they were fairly confident no major allergens in these vaccines and I don't think they expected anaphylaxis.
one article said "anaphylactoid" which means something directly stimulates the allergy cascade without having a preformed antibody. I wonder if that's what's going on here. Dye for CT scans is like that.
you take the shot again and find out
Agreed. But. About putting things into our bodies that we don't fully understand, the same can hold true of supplements, yet we feel like because they're "natural" they only have benefits. So perception is the decider on what we put into our bodies, not knowledge about it.
We can gain information through a variety of methods. The method I choose to use regarding the concept of using the new vaccines is based upon decades of research and science. The basic fact is that it takes years and years of research to fully understand how a drug or vaccine may interact with the extremely complex human body. To date, that indepth research has not been done on any of the vaccines being or about to be released. With that in mind my comfort level is low regarding the risk / reward component of the equation. I understand the basic reward, becoming nearly immune to COVID, but to me the risk is unknown. Ergo, I'll wait.

Yeah, supplements are a topic that is very much based upon marketing and misunderstanding. EVERYTHING I've read/heard that comes from credible dieticians and scientists says that, unless you have specific disorder, the average American will get everything they need from eating normal, balanced meals.

Well we have the all clear from the pope.
The Vatican on Monday declared that it is “morally acceptable” for Roman Catholics to receive COVID-19 vaccines based on research that used cells derived from aborted fetuses.

This is largely true, but the issue is that "normal" American meals are not balanced meals.
Not so. I put my Sausage McMuffin and hash browns from breakfast on a scale the other day, and it balanced perfectly with the McRib and fries that I had for lunch on the other side of the scale.
Yin Yang. Checkmate, dieticians.

My wife is a registered dietitian. We eat differently than most Americans, and we take one supplement between the two of us, and it is one of those "specific disorder" issues you mentioned. And the supplement I take isn't really even a dietary supplement, as it's not something normally acquired from food. (I take a vitamin D supplement, but I have history of skin cancer that means I need to avoid sunlight on my skin, which is how most people produce vitamin D.)
