You’re probably not still answering questions, but in case you are: how incredibly healthy do you have to be? What tests did you have to take and “pass”? I was looking into this for a friend who needs a kidney, but my liver numbers are abnormally high and dr’s don’t have a diagnosis on it. I wonder if that would preclude me?

Ugh, I thought so. Was hoping that since it’s a different organ it wouldn’t get in the way! Thanks for responding.

Because the one thing that is not unknown is that they do not cause harm in the tested population and they contribute to an immune response. It’s tempting to look at unknowns as scary, but specifically what they’re testing for is that the vaccine is less harm than getting COVID, and that it contributes protection against COVID. Even if there’s a 99% survival rate, wouldn’t you rather have a 99.9% survival rate at no risk? at the scale of this pandemic, that is a lot of people who are saved.
