Like most here, I've seen the stories about "vaccine shedding". The vaccinated supposedly effected by the unvaccinated. It's still a relatively new story, so, I'm not fully convinced about its truth yet (or how bad it is).
Here's my dilemma. Perhaps others will have a similar one.
Starting in about a week, I'll have a new roommate, for four months. He will not be around a tonne (doesn't work from home, away on weekends), but, he has already had one dose of the Pfizer vaccine (he works in a hospital). I had chosen him among a few candidates before the vaccine shedding story really started to come to light.
I'm relatively young, relatively healthy, single, and have no children. Unsure whether I want them. Not a fan of possibly being sterilized by living with a vaccinated person for four months though. Not to mention other, non-fertility, concerns regarding vaccine shedding.
I like my current living situation, and, aside from this vaccine shedding question, my new roommate seems to be a good temporary person to share the space with.
It would be inconvenient, but, I can leave this place anytime before the four months are over and live somewhere else.
One of our community members recently gave a good explanation for why this sort of vaccine shedding could be occurring:

So here are a few questions.
How seriously does everyone take this vaccine shedding story? Are you already avoiding the vaccinated? Would you flee a living situation if you were sharing a space with a vaccinated person?
I'll obviously be responsible for my own decision on this matter. It just dawned on me this morning that this might become a big issue, and I've been pondering it throughout the day.
The early speculation is that the protein may transfer via bodily fluids for an unknown period of time. Personally I’d avoid close personal contact with them, and make sure to wash my hands frequently just to be safe. Don’t leave out stuff of yours that they might touch.
If you are female, I’d be more concerned, as female fertility mechanisms are less resilient.
