That poster wasnt "advising" anyone, they asked what their chances were of a specific vaccine they feel might be better suited to them. Unlike you, giving out assurances they are safe based on something you've been told 2nd hand. I think vaccines are almost 100% safe for me, but I understand some people might have their own legitimate concerns.

I am also willing to accept that reading too much about potential issues as a non medical person is filled with pit falls. However I’ve gone there now and would prefer to exercise caution with that type of vaccine. After all if there are issues down the road the very people who advised me to get it will simply say ‘well that was best advice at the time’. I’m healthy apart from those conditions and don’t feel at risk off covid, however I’d take a vaccine right now if offered, just not the mRNA until more details are known.

Marcusm wrote: » You’ll need to get someone to intervene to offer you anything other than an mRNA vaccine as NIAC has determined them to be inappropriate if an mRNA vaccine is available which it almost always will. I’m not challenging your position but if you want an adenovirus vaccine you’ll need to find someone to order a breach in protocol to get you one. Otherwise you will be left hanging.
