Default Will You And Your Family Get The Vaccine?

How many of you and your family will be getting the vaccine for C-19?

I will make sure it is well researched before I take. Otherwise why not, I take the flu vaccine for the past 4 yrs, no problem.

Nope. I won’t be taking the first vaccine that is available. I don’t buy the 1st version of any product so I won’t be putting something that isn’t proven into my body.

Eventually, but definitely not as soon as it’s available.

As soon as it's gone through all the proper phases of testing I will. I wouldn't touch a vaccine that had been fast tracked for political purposes, as have been happening in a few countries.

I likely will eventually.
I’ll wait to make sure those with other health issues and folks at greater risk get it first.

The hard part might be when your told you can’t do something because you don’t have the shot.

That’s a good point. The way our society lined up for toilet paper and hand sanitizer, maybe the healthy and uncompromised should let the others get first crack. Of course you can’t “panic buy” a vaccine but allowing the elderly and compromised to have it first would be a good thing.

It's going to be a long time before it gets here, lots of people will get it before I roll up my sleeve. I do have faith in modern medicine the flu shots have been working for me with no ill effects.

Consider the possibility that taking the designated vaccine may not be optional.

According to Dr. Tam, or whatever her name is, we won't be able to hug our friends or family again until we all roll up our sleeves and get vaccinated. This was on the radio today.
Just keeps getting better and better. The stupidity doesn't even astound me anymore. It's like it's the new normal.

Agreed, they aren’t the most trustworthy.

Vaccines have risks but for sure - the worst being a serious allergic reaction. More likely a sore arm. You could get an infection at the poke site if you're unlucky too.

What's likely and more worrisome is that it won't provide 100% immunity to everyone. Depends on how good the vaccine is and how much it stimulates your immune system. Many vaccines require multiple doses to be really effective.

I’ll hold off as long as possible...and then I’ll hold off a little bit more...this communist country can shove mandatory Chinese vaccines up their rear end...this virus isn’t the Black Plague and I’ll take my chances with it..

Nothing else that can kill you is mandatory so I doubt that this one would be.

Probably make the BLM protests look mild. And I don't see the police going around rounding people up for vaccinations. And then there are the religious implications, especially if the vaccine is developed using human fetus.

Just look at some people talking this idea and twisting it into "testing unknown vaccine on not "healthy and uncompromised".

Crayton I totally forgot about that part of it. I read an article about that possibility at the beginning of summer. Now that right there is a social and religious controversy right there in itself...

I’ll have to stir things up on the local FB news groups now lol
