There are elderly people locally whom I have spoken to, who do not want the vaccines. They are weary of them due to the mixed messages out there, on the lack of 100% confirmation on their efficacy; the possible side effects etc. so I thought I would let you know what is also being said about receiving the vaccine.

I have read that it has been confirmed, after much talk on the pros and cons, that the chances of having short or long term serious side effects from existing vaccines is roughly one in 25,000; and that the chances of having life threatening side effects is roughly one in 1.000.000. This compares to one in 250, and one in 10,000 for a course of antibiotics; making vaccines roughly 100 times safer to take than say penicillin. There is the added factor that it is much less harmful than lockdown.
