Here are but a few sources for some of the statements I made; there are plenty more:

Obesity and COVID hospitalizations: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e4.htm

Waning VE of vaccines (many more studies available from the CDC and others too): https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/...

Pfizer medicine and unethical trial on Nigerian children in 1996: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/aug/11/pfizer-nigeria...

I particularly think the Wikileaks that shows more unethical, illegal attempts to get out of it are even more interesting: "But last year a US diplomatic cable uncovered by WikiLeaks revealed that Pfizer hired investigators to look for evidence of corruption against the Nigerian attorney general in an effort to persuade him to drop the legal action."

Your son or you "thought" he had it. I had it. A positive COVID test, and antibody tests 8 and 9 months later. Not my imagination.

I recommend the vaccine for friends who have not had COVID, but that is their choice not mine. If I were in my twenties, healthy, and no comorbidities, I wouldn't personally get it. You only need to look at the chart of COVID deaths and hospitalizations by age bracket, and you can see that the risk is very low. Let's see if there are any issues 3 to 5 years from now. Unfortunately, Pfizer vaccinated their control group, so long-term safety studies will have to be restarted or done by others.

People with prior infection should be angry about not being allowed to have the same access as vaccinated people. The US State department accepts it for entry into the US, but a pizzeria owner needs to turn away natural immunity folk? You wonder why there's anger? Japan, Singapore, Norway, the UK, and Ireland are doing away with COVID restrictions, and for the most part, vaccine passports. The US is completely ignoring natural immunity outside of entry to the US. Weird.
