16. Still A Cop Out Not Getting Second Shot

I'm not going to debate the fact that 1 shot is better than none. But if you're overweight, and set a goal of losing 30 pounds, you don't declare victory after losing 20, and saying that it's better than nothing. You finish the job.

There's no valid reason for not getting the full dosage. None. If people were dropping dead from the 2nd shot, that would be one thing. But I fail to see why someone would do it half assed.

Skipping vaccine #2 is NOT advisable, and not excusable. Would you agree with that statement? flibbitygiblets May 2021 #19

It is not advisable - but from the science I am reading it is much like taking the one and done J&J Peppertoo May 2021 #20
