We have a vaccine. Could we skip the "abundance of caution" while kids aren't in school, restaurants are shut, and people are going insane?
If you think that everyone is happy about this decision: you are completely wrong.

ConsiderReality- Have you had anaphylaxis? I have & it isn’t fun: my tongue & fingers swelled & breathing was difficult. I spent 5 hours in urgent care on a ventilator. THAT’S reality. As impatient as I am to get the vaccine, I appreciate the abundance of caution.

I think @ConsiderReality's point is that the health agencies should not limit the vaccinations because of a 1:100,000 issue. Instead, people like @7x7native who have had reactions in the past should be selective in their choice of vaccination.

Dan Waylonis- Yes, I am being selective. I had hopes that Moderna would not have severe reactions as did Pfizer & Astra Zeneca. Pfizer’s reactions appear to be from nuts & shellfish, neither of which cause me problems.
