“What's in the covid vaccine?”

Taking vaccine is no brainer . I have seen more than thousand covid pts in hospital . If you are vaccinated you are not likely to be admitted at least not in ICU . Yes if you are healthy only 10 percent will have severe disease and ppl who are infected more likely to have clots than vaccine itself ! So plz vaccinate and take booster . This is one of the safest vaccines I am aware of

Thanks for the question.
The Johnson and Johnson vaccine has a small risk of clotting. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines do not have a clotting risk. Oddly, multiple studies show the disease itself is less immunogenic and less protective than the mRNA vaccines. You can see a full list of vaccine contents online if you just search contents of each vaccine. Except for one or two deaths from severe allergy, there have been no deaths due to the mRNA vaccines in millions of doses. The death rate with the vaccine, and the causes of death, are the expected numbers without the vaccine.

Due to your age and atrial fibrillation, you are at a higher risk for a bad outcome with natural Covid-19 infection. Vaccine immunity after boosters is way better than natural immunity. Complications after any of the three vaccines in the USA are VERY RARE, e.g., a few cases per millions of doses. You are WAY more likely to be struck by lightning, killed in a car accident, or have your plane fall out of the sky. Each of the three vaccines have different ingredients, but the two mRNA vaccines are very similar and the strongest and safest. Do not read social media or listen to people with negative opinions about vaccines. They are really a gift from God. 95% of doctors and their families are vaccinated. 90% of the richest people in America are vaccinated. Maybe these are the people you should emulate?
