I literally told one of my friends to take it. He weighs 450 lbs and needs a breathing machine to sleep. He basically had to get it to get a real job. If he got Alpha or Delta, his ass was gonna die, simple as. Best case scenario, they would have shoved him on a ventilator, which would have probably blown out his lungs, overwhelmed his respiratory system, and killed him.
I think it was the J&J vaccine he got, so it wasn't even one of the better ones. The likelihood he was going to get Covid was very high because he still likes to socialize and have gatherings with friends whenever he can. We can only hope that when he gets Covid, like all people we know will, his exposure to the vaccine will reduce his symptoms to keep him alive, God willing, maybe even out of the hospital.
I'd prefer to have him get the non-mRNA vaccines, but especially during the Alpha strain, the hospital would have killed him as likely as the virus. So the vaccine isn't probably going to pose any more of a risk than his diet... so fuck it. Hopefully with the Novavax vaccine coming to the states, he can get that and have something closer to proper resistance when he gets infected.

Why not endorse ivermectin or the like? We're well past the point of feigned ignorance on this topic - like it originally started w.r.t HCQ (not sure where that topic eventually landed but it seems positive AFAIK).
Even if your friend is morbidly obese, not so sure that the increased toxicity from spike proteins is super great for him either...but agreed that he's an outlier from the usual frame of discussion here.
Because there's no where to get it. He's not going to try and literally consume horse paste. Zinc & Vitamin D pills will do okay-ish for preventative maintenance, but most doctors aren't prescribing ivermectin, and many hospitals outright ban it's use on people for Covid.
The rest of us aren't cool like Joe Rogan, and can't get doctors who are too well paid to buy into nonsense.

Well, it made him foggy for a day and disabled his arm for a couple hours, but other than that, no major issues.
That's... not great for a vaccine to do to someone. But compared to what Covid can actually do to him, it's a lesser of two evils.
Honestly, that's a bit dumb.

I have much more faith in the paste... Fair enough.
