For crying out loud, people. You all rush to be the first to get your Flu vaccination without even caring whether or not it has side effects, yet you want to know every nuance of how the C19 vaccine is produced, how it is tested, what color it is and whether or not you are the right age or ethnicity to warrant receiving it. If you do not want the shot then don't get it, period. We don't need to hear about how your cousin's sister-in-law's friend was in the test group and they "said".........
It's not even available yet, and you are worried about whether or not someone else should get the shot. I think some of you just want a permanent mandate for mask wearing. I don't blame some of you for covering your face but some folks will eat an apple and take an aspirin if someone tells them it will let them remove the mask. If you think that the vaccine is coming out too fast, then don't get. Wait until all your friends have had it for a year and then if you are still around to ask for it, go and pay a hand full of money to get it. When it first comes out, it will be free but who knows for how long. Take a chance and get it, or don't. Who cares? The way I see it, when the test is over 30000 recipients with no one dying a horrible death and no one growing hair on the palms of their hands, what is the harm. What is the chance that you will be the one in a million that may be different and have problems with it?
I still don't know if I will get it, but that is not because I do not believe in it. I just seem to be immune to a lot of illnesses and have to think about the chances of tampering with a good thing. But, that is just me. My spouse will get the vaccination. If they told me that in order to rid myself of the stupid mask requirement, I had to get the shot....I would be the first in line.
We have two vaccines about to be released for consumption. They both are in the 90's% efficiency. That is better than our flu vaccines which average about 40-60% some years. If you are willing to get the flu shot, then I do not see what the problem is with getting the C19 shot.
