Who's lining up to take it and get back to normal?
My moms 85 and I have encouraged her to get it when she can. My 63 year old brother won’t get it, my 65 year old sister is anxious to get her vaccine. I ask around and
It seems around 50/50 on who’s going for it and who’s passing.
Point is, medicine has side effects. The vaccine is great for the short term to prevent getting COVID, but we(or at least I) don’t know if there are any lasting effects from it. Would you still take it if you knew it tripled your chances of developing a heart condition within the next 10 years? For now, I think I’ll take my chances with COVID over the unknown. I already had it once. To be clear, I’m not against the vaccine, and I’m likely to change my mind once it’s been out a while and I have more information.

In all likelihood my demographic is probably at least a year or more away from getting it anyways due to me not being in a high risk portion of the population and the capacity to have enough doses to go around. I see it being a requirement for international travel though, so at some point i'll be getting it.
I’m leery too and I’m gonna wait a while. You see the ads on tv: “Take this pill and leave your allergies behind! Oh by the way, it may cause suicidal thoughts and bleeding from your rectum.” Fuck that, I’ll just sneeze.
I'm simply making the point that these mRNA vaccines are different than any medications or past vaccines using inactive viruses like the polio vaccine. They have been treating cancer with mRNA since 2011.
Locked in !! 👍
She is not concerned about it, but I probably wouldn't be either if I was being exposed to covid every shift.
It would be a relief to know one little slip up or a piece of faulty ppe would not have as severe the consequences, especially after seeing so many struggle with it first hand.
I did see a news story that polled nurses and it was a 1/3 split on who was getting it, not getting it, and unsure. That uncertainty is why I’m gonna pass for now being that I feel my lifestyle is pretty safe for contacting the virus
They have both been caring for patients with Covid all year and haven’t had any issues.
Neither of them are in any sort of risk category so really no hurry to take it...
"Did you recieve a Covid-19 vaccine in 2021? You may be entitled to compensation, please call Saul Goodman and Associates"
Just messing around....
I'll take a pass on it though, I'd chance Covid rather than a be a test dummy for a "warp speed" vaccine.
Pit Row
What worries me about that is all of the unintended autoimmune diseases that it could possibly jumpstart.
Rheumatoid arthritis for example.
I could have gotten bad info and be full of shit but my main concern is that it’s just going to have unintended long term consequences.
I’m holding out until I understand what the vaccine actually does a bit more.
Person A wants the vaccine (fine)
Person B doesn’t want the vaccine (also fine)
Why does person A care what person B does? Person A thinks they protected themselves. That’s great for them. Person B isn’t ruining your life by not taking the vaccine. And person B is protected supposedly because A got it and they’re in the same room.
...It’s a choice. Get it or don’t but don’t bastardize the ones that don’t get it. And don’t bastardize those that do get it. It’s real easy. Leave it up to the individual.
Vaccine is 95% chance you won’t GET IT.
Virus is 99% chance you’ll SURVIVE IT.
-Let’s say 10,000 people don’t get the vaccine. At 99% success rate, that means 9,900 survive and 100 die.
-Now let’s say 10,000 people got the vaccine. Since it’s 95% effective, that means 9,500 people don’t even get COVID. The remaining 5%(500 people) still get COVID, and 99%(495 people) of those 500 survive. To sum it up, that’s 9,500 people who never got COVID, 495 that got it and survived, and 5 that got it and died.
So it’s roughly 100 deaths vs 5 deaths per 10,000 people. How many people are on the planet?
Still not getting the vaccine anytime soon, just putting it in perspective.
