33. So if you were offered a cloth mask instead of an N95, you wouldn't wear it?

There's not much difference.

If you're offered multiple types of vaccine, great. Choose your favorite. But if you're offered something else, please don't turn it down. Not getting vaccinated just increases your chances of getting it and spreading it to others.

The J&J vaccine was also tested differently. Apples and Oranges. tinrobot Feb 2021 #10

Well, the singles vaccine has pretty bad side effects in 10-15% or so of the people who take it. GulfCoast66 Feb 2021 #20
