It could be that some of them have no next of kin, but why aren't the remainder of them up in arms? Confused

You've probably seen where the governor of Oregon asked residents to call the police if they see neighbors gathering on Thanksgiving.

We now have three vaccines with at least preliminary reports of 90-95% effectiveness (the latest, AstraZeneca, had 90% effectiveness at a low fist dose and full second dose).
We’ve been told that billions of doses have been or are being made and that immunization will begin as soon as FDA approval is given.

Thank you, President Trump! You are the only one who could have made it happen. Decades from now I hope people will look back on this time and shake their heads.

Informing on neighbors is what secret police like, for example, the Gestapo or the Stasi (East Germany's secret police) had people do.

Honest question to the members here.

Are you going to voluntarily take this vaccine when it becomes available?

Since I haven't had a flu shot in over 20 years, and don't plan on changing that paradigm, I won't be participating in this nonsense either. I might however buy a chunk of Pfizer and Astrazeneca stock though given these companies are likely to get stupid rich off this government manufactured farce.

I will. My occupation places me in the highest risk category for exposure. While my chances of dying are quite low, I'd rather not be out of work sick or in quarantine for several weeks.

The choice should be 100% individual based on your circumstances. I absolutely WILL NOT require my employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment.

If you want COVID, get the vaccine. (a little sarcasm)

Yes, you read that correctly. Vaccine manufacturers are now saying that one of the side effects of getting the vaccine will be symptoms that are the same as those experienced by those with the COVID virus. (high fever, body aches, muscle pain, headache, etc.)

But the good news is that you get to go back a second time and get COVID again when your second dose is due.

Test patients said that although the side effects were unpleasant, it was better than getting COVID. Roll Eyes

Effective vaccines in the U.S. more or less eradicated measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tuberculosis, smallpox, polio, and other diseases. Lack of vaccination by immigrants and anti-vaxers has led to outbreaks of diseases that were previously thought to be easily preventable. There is no question about this. Are there side effects and do some people get harmed by vaccines? I'm sure a small percentage does, since nothing is 100% risk free.

For traveling internationally, I've gotten vaccines for Hep A, Hep B, Typhus, Yellow Fever, and updates to my childhood vaccinations. Also take malaria preventive meds where needed.

Yes, the long term efficacy and potential side effects of any COVID vaccine are unknown right now, with only the clinical trial data available. That said, high risk people are better off getting vaccinated, especially older people and those with comorbidities. The need to vaccinate children is much lower. So for example, vaccinating older teachers first makes more sense than vaccinating students. Based on how well the vaccine is tolerated by high risk groups will help us understand more.

I will likely be required to get vaccinated to travel for my job, as some countries are likely to make it mandatory for entry. I'm not too concerned about it.

Given how many democrats are bitching about the vaccine and insinuating it might not be safe because President Trump is involved, after insisting that it would not be available this fast and we would have to wait another year, and now whining about the distribution planning, tells you something. Based on their behavior, it probably works, is safe, and Trump made it happen by pushing career bureaucrats to get off their asses and do their jobs, much to the disappointment of the democrats.

As soon as Biden takes office the D will declare the vaccine safe and it will be immediately distributed nationally, quickly by the military aka Trumps plan in place....

Maybe read Zecpull's account in the "I got the virus" thread (page 6) to get an idea of what 99% can feel like.

When it becomes available, no. I’m low risk and don’t have people around me that are high risk.

However, at some point in the relatively near future I will have to for practical reasons. While the gov may not mandate every citizen get the vaccine, there’s no doubt it will be required for entry to concerts, sporting events, air travel, etc. So the question will be: what activities/places are you willing to forgo if you choose not to get vaccinated?

Yep, I don't want to take it but it will be required as I am not a hermit. The big one is a trip to Japan coming up in June we have been planning for a a couple of years, I'm sure it will be a requirement

I tested positive with the rapid and pcr test. One more day of quarantine. I am grateful I did not have a single symptom.
