  • It’s part of my career to review white papers. Mostly from the FDA food guidelines but I do enjoy reading white papers. Cuts the bias if I can go through the methodology and data set. I have a chemistry degree with an interest in computational science, inorganic and polymer. I’m on some regulatory review team at work as well…

    I really didn’t want to come off so anti vax… not my intent, like i’m going to get it I just wanted more info which I haven’t seen yet.


  • To preface this, I’m totally for vaccines and have convinced others to get the COVID shot…

    Two things… I haven’t found anything from a white paper to read up on this new vaccine. Like I think the last thing I found was like ‘its the best we got but local variants will persist.’ And my hesitation is that when ever I got my COVID vax and boosters… It fucked me up bad. I was useless for three days each time. I don’t react well to medicine… I can’t take a full xyzal without loosing a day. I did catch COVID once and I realize most logical reason it wasn’t that bad was because of the shot, but in my past I never get the flu or any thing that bad. Like I get sniffles at worse … so I guess I’m wondering/hoping I don’t need the shot… I couldn’t move those three days from the vax and I’m wondering if it’s another medication I’m overly sensitive to. But I will likely put up with loosing a weekend to try to consider others around me as I’m not sure how to prove or test that.

    I guess my point is I’m looking for more data to make a good decision here.

    edit - I’m confused by the downvotes… I’m getting the shot, I just want more info and yet have been provided anything but downvote or general information about covid. I’m asking data on the new vaccine but I don’t want to seem to come off combative… like I’m for it lol shrugs








  • Trying to keep myself out of trouble… But I have in one way or another have dealt with most big corps. The ones that scare me the most are the mom and pop shops that lack the infrastructure for a regulatory group. Like a team dedicated on keeping up with all the various changes both locally and globally since… As you mentioned products do ship and it’s hard to track where things come from. And I think that’s why I tend to trust these larger entities (now anyway). They have to deal with global regulations and not just the FDA stuff. That said, the FDA just ruled out a mandate on traceability standards for 2026. But to your point, I’m not sure how public this will be as it seems like it would lay out a companies supply chain and customer base…which are considered trade secrets.

    I guess time will tell.

    I wanna be clear, I’m not really a fanboi, it’s just something I’m surrounded by with my current role and wanted to share my experiences while not sharing anything that would get me in trouble… I need that check y’all 🥺
