I've had 3 shots of the Moderna mRNA with no ill effects. I was considered fairly high risk for the original covid strain, being immunosuppressed and immunocompromised, so I got bumped to the front of the line. At the time I was happy to take it, getting the vaccine, which we assumed would be protective, 3 to 6 months earlier than many others. Of course at the time we didn't know a lot.
Now we know more. We know boosting Vitamin D is a major contributor (sunlight or supplements) to fighting Covid. We know "ultra processed" foods (fake food) can be a negative contributor to health. Look at the guidelines from Florida. They make sense!
Me, at nearly 64, still immunocompromised/suppressed, I am not volunteering for the mRNA vaccines. I had zero issues with them. I know they can be helpful for "elderly" people. I thought early on, and think today, the "old style" vaccines were the best. Basically Florida is saying that the "old style" vaccines should be prioritized for the elderly and nobody should take the mRNA vaccines.

Florida advises against use of mRNA COVID vaccine heading into the fall and winter
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida Department of Health this week advised against using mRNA COVID-19 vaccines heading into the fall and winter, typically a season with an uptick in respiratory illness.
The department said that for those 65 and older with underlying health conditions concerned about COVID-19, providers should “prioritize patient access to non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and treatment.”
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said in the new guidance that Floridians should prioritize being active, minimize processed foods, prioritize vegetables and healthy fats, and to spend time outdoors to improve vitamin D levels.
Despite the approval, the Florida Health Department expressed concern over the “lack” of clinical trial data specific to newly-approved COVID-19 boosters.
The vaccines target an Omicron variant, which is currently responsible for a limited number of infections, the department said – and are not designed to protect against the dominant strain of COVID-19 in the U.S., which accounts for roughly 37% of cases.
State officials also said that there is limited data on whether these boosters provide meaningful protection.
The statement raised additional concerns over the federal government’s decision not to require manufacturers to demonstrate the boosters’ effectiveness in preventing hospitalizations or death.
Florida also warned of safety risks, including the potential of prolonged circulation of mRNA and spike protein, potential increased risk of respiratory infections, autoimmune diseases after vaccination and heart issues.
The department advised providers to discuss these concerns with patients, including for those over 65 or with underlying health conditions.
Florida has now long advised against the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. Earlier on, the state came out against their usage on young people, particularly young males, over concerns of potential heart side effects.
