COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE | Is it Safe? Why I got it!

In this video we are going to go over some of the common concerns that people have for the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna for COVID-19. We will discuss why we were able to get these vaccines to market so fast and if any corners were cut. We will also go over the most common side effects as well as more concerning ones. We will also discuss concerns people have over pregnancy and fertility. I understand that this is a topic that has a lot of people anxious. As you do your own research make sure you focus on reputable sources.

Thank you Dr. Erik for the information presented, I have had lots of anxiety on whether I should or shouldn't receive the vaccine, you have really help to put my mind at ease, I'm scheduled on the 19th for my first injection and I prayed this morning for help on making a decision, and I saw your video just now, thank you I believe the Lord put it in my path. And it's ok, if anybody out there thinks otherwise, I don't care, I'll trust in God. God bless you Sir. 🙏🏽

Thank you for this video. I get my COVID-19 shot tomorrow.

I sincerely want to thank you for your video and I found it to be very informative. I have been following your channel for a long time and I was waiting for you to do a video on this subject but I elected to go ahead and get the vaccine and I'm getting my second dose in a few more days. I have the utmost respect for you and I love how practical your videos are. I am an anxiety sufferer and I sincerely thank you for your heartfelt video. I also hope that other people will take this video to heart and actually at least consider getting the vaccine. I wanted to take the weight and see approach and didn't really want to get it but I still push past my anxiety for the better good of my loved ones.

Excellent video doc, we really appreciated the information.

I'm curious about your current thoughts on the vaccine given that there has been an acceptable length of time for many various studies to more thoroughly investigate both the efficacy and risks inherent in any pharmaceutical treatment.
In case it matters, my own opinion is that the efficacy studies appear to lean toward it being, though not nothing, still significantly less than hoped regarding both personal protection as well as squelching spread. Also, the safety appears to also be less than hoped as over time there is some subset of recipients who are likely to be suffering unfortunate symptoms. With the new and more comprehensive data in hand, it would seem that a more personal and cautious risk/reward analysis between doctor & patient would be the best approach.
But I'd like to hear a doctor's opinion on this. If there is pressure to nudge opinions either way, then that's a problem separate from the safety/efficacy of it. But hopefully that is rarer than one hears and you can give an honest and unbiased reply. Thanks.

Side effects usually kick in about 12 hours after the shot, according to O'Connor, but fade within 24 to 36 hours. The side effects are usually mild and transient👍

[Sara-glue]

I am SO glad I didn't put one of those into my body. What do you think of all the sudden and excess deaths now happening in the world? Germany is currently experiencing a 44% rise in excess deaths. That is astronomical.

[rockybrown]

Thank you so much. My husband and I will receive our second dose of in two weeks. A sore arm for two days was the only side effect. Your video answers all my questions. I’m looking forward to my second shot. Life is much better without mask. 👍🏻👍🏻

[nancyschumacher]

Thank you Dr. Richardson for your very informing and very well explained video. I wish you were my doctor. Dont get me wrong we have a very good doctor. But sometimes he can;t sit and explain everything to us cause of all his appointments. Will be watching more of your videos. Thank you and may God Bless you and your family. Have a beautiful night and day.

@Erik RIchardson D.O. - the content on your channel is absolutely terrific. Just subscribed! I have a doctor with a similarly great disposition!

[Linda-iihc]

Thank you so much for this unbiased and information filled video. I’m 69 with a couple of underlying conditions and have been undecided about getting the vaccine. I will be discussing with my dr and in all likelihood getting the vaccine. You definitely answered quite a few of my questions.

[roberts.valkyrie]

I thought I found another respectable doctor, but this video caused me to lose respect. You got it, which means you aren't looking at the data. You haven't discovered that clinical trials run until January 2023. And you didnt even bother to look at the damn insert in the packaging! I could go on, but this video alone proves your lack of concern for your own body, as well as your blind trust in a corrupt industry.

[bryanekberg]

Still don't believe the official narrative or trust the shot, but thank you got addressing this topic. Your insight is much appreciated.

[stephaniejackson]

Getting this has shown that masks/ distance is still required. Mapping this was easy because the disease was created in a lab, not in nature. If this is so safe, why is there no protection for the consumer legally?

[lueker]

Darn I was enjoying your videos until this one

[jbell]

Hi Dr. Erik. Can you test positive for Covid 19 antibodies (IgG) if you've had the first or second vaccine?

[WinterNinjaHero]

Thank you for the great visual of how vaccines work, specifically the covid vaccine.
My question is, what is your opinion of how effective are the first two emergency vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna will do with the new emerging varients? I have read some research about how Pfizer is not as effective and what seems to be more effective against some of the varients is Johnson & Johnson.

(By the way I got the full dose of the Pfizer vaccine and I agree that the second dose made the side effects much worse for me, compared to what I experienced during the first dose)

[nicetrybud]

When exactly do you think this will all end?

[petertelleus]

If you are hypersensitire
Is penteillin you should
Take cov 19 then.

At least he admits that he's a paid shill...
