Debunking the anti-vaccine hoax about ‘vaccine shedding’
"There is absolutely no biological mechanism for any COVID-19 vaccine side effects or vaccine components to shed to others," said Dr. Shruti Gohil, the associate medical director for epidemiology and infection prevention at the University of California, Irvine.
I've been reluctant to criticize people who decline shots (the currently popular euphemism is "hesitate") since, as long as the vaccines are still not approved (as opposed to permitted) by the FDA, reluctance is at least understandable. Still, I'm convinced getting vaccinated is the right—and smart—thing to do.
Beyond being good for you, getting vaccinated is also good for other, unvaccinated people because they're much, much less likely to catch the virus, at least from you.
They are, however, not at all likely to "catch" the vaccine from you, because it can't be done.
