I am a health care worker with lung scarring from a pneumonia 2yrs ago. was hospitalized with pleural effusion and pneumonia with long recovery. i am able to get covid-19 vaccine soon. apprehensive about mrna and long term side effects. is it safe?

Safe: I Just had mine last week . It is safe and effective. As a health care worker it is critically important that you get it. Your past history is not relevant to receiving the vaccine.

A patient with lung scarring and a history of pneumonia is one that should be first in line for the vaccine. Having a respiratory virus with already injured lungs is not a pleasant proposition. The mRNA is like a recipe for the spike protein. Just spike proteins in your blood stream for your immune system to make antibodies against. Strongly recommend.

You need to face the reality that if you do get COVID-19 and respiratory problems, you will likely have a catastrophic course with your history. Where does your fear come from, reading something online or in the media? Yes, the vaccines in the USA have been tested and safe, and trust you do not believe the lies about m-RNA's future risks. It is your choice, but I too recommend the JAB!
