These are simply my findings. From someone who didn't see the point, to someone who was anti, to someone who simply went and got it. I share my reasons in the episode. I felt a sense of responsibility to share my findings, as this may help someone listening to find some ease and let go of some fear. If this serves you, please share it.
I am writing this a few hours after my first jab, and I'm feeling sweet. I'm not pro or anti vax, I'm for humans. Thus, my shares are unbiased.
Below are the links to the studies and articles I touched on in this episode.
I did my best to find studies that weren't government funded so we could ensure unbiasedness... however, a couple naturally were still govt funded, as studies focused on these areas are still limited.
I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advise. Please do your own research, and make the decision that you feel is best for you.
