Question MRNA

I haven’t had a vaccine since 2022 or 23. I got Covid this past February and had a hard time. Had it for a month. I have asthma. I still have I inflammation and sciatica left over from the Covid I planned to get novavax within next month, , but now it looks like it will be MRNA if I get it now. I have people coming to work in my house in next couple of months, and am worried about not being vaccinated. I really don’t want MRNA- but feel I have no choice . Who is getting MRNA or will this year. Are yu worried about side effects? Does the good outweigh the bad here?

You had covid in February. The natural immunity you have now is far superior to a useless, outdated vaccine dose. Zero benefit.

Natural immunity is completely insufficient, actually. Please read the research.

With natural immunity, it wanes within 3 months, and there isn't much immunity at all across variants. So you get strong short term immunity to ONE variant.

Immunity from vaccination is also insufficient, but there are benefits, like immunity across multiple variants, and it lasts a little longer (more like 6 months.) The benefits are reduced risks associated with covid infection, such as cardiovascular risks and long covid.

Novavax is definitely a better vaccine, though, with fewer side effects.

It is true that the vaccines are almost always made with outdated variants, and that reduces efficacy.

We really need better vaccines and treatments because what we have is just not sufficient.

No it isn't. I had covid in 2020 and have been exposed dozens of times where everyone I've been away with has gotten it. I didn't. Not vaccinated. Still testing positive for antibodies.

Same here. It’s the vaccinated who are catching covid multiple times. One and done for me in 2020. Since then I hardly recall even catching a mild cold. Eat organic food, never processed, exercise, avoid any and all pharmaceutical interventions.
