On this very special episode of Found Down, Christina Kim, NP is back on the show to help de-bunk myths about this new vaccine. Here are the few that we cover on this episode:

COVID-19 VACCINE MYTHS:

1. This vaccine was rushed so therefore it is unsafe.
2. This is new mRNA vaccine will modify my own DNA.
3. This vaccine uses fetal tissue.
4. This vaccine causes infertility.
5. I already had Covid, so I don't need to be vaccinated.
6. This was developed to control us and implant a mircochip.
7. More people will die from negative side effects of the vaccine than of the virus.
8. The flu vaccine will cover me for Covid-19 so I don't need the vaccine.
9. I won't need to wear a mask post Covid-19 vaccination.
10. Herd immunity through natural immunity is better than herd immunity through vaccination.

If you have concerns about the vaccine, please do your research and get vaccinated when you feel safe about it. At this time, it is not recommended for those with anaphylaxis issues - severe allergic reactions.

For transparency, I received the Pfizer vaccine on 12/18 and I'm feeling great. I had a soreness in my injection site that lasted two days. I did develop a migraine two hours after getting the vaccine. However, I get migraines so I'm unsure if it was related or not.

Here is a great New York Times article that answers frequently asked questions about the vaccine.
