I wonder if they are going to issue vaccination/antibodies passport, like they did in Europe at one time, if you want to go to where there are other people? Proof of vaccination if you want your child to attend school?

Some of you might recall that when the first polio vaccine came out (Jonas Salk, about 1952?), a number of people got polio and died from it. It had to be withdrawn and reformulated. Salk finally got it right, though, and millions were saved from lives as polio survivors or from death by polio.
Nah, what could go wrong, after all, it's made in India; who wouldn't want their vaccine formulated there?

I'm sure the people who got polio & died before Salk "got it right" (before thorough testing) probably would feel differently, just sayin' :icon_wink:

It scares me. I typically do not get the flu shot. But Covid 19 is a different story. You don't know how it will effect you if you do get it. I know the flu has killed a lot of people also, but in generally healthy people, not such a risk. My grandfather was a pharmacist and believe it or not he wasn't a big believer in a lot of medications. More harm than good. We were brought up on that mentality . The one thing I remember as a kid was when Polio came about and they started vaccinated before sufficient tests were done to check its safely, but fortunately worked out for the best and we were all inoculated .
So the answer to the question is .....???? I don't know! I guess wait and see?

Assuming they can get all the testing done and get FDA approval, all the drug companies will have to do is produce, package and distribute about 8 BILLION doses of the vaccine — the 2020 world population.

What do you figure your chances might be of finding someone who has vaccine available? Maybe consider the problems people are having just getting tested to see if they have the virus.

Put me in Coach! I'll go first. Why not? What a way to pay back for the life I've had. Even if the worst happened at least it would be towards helping others. Not just words. I mean it with all my heart.

I don't particularly care for doing all the safety stuff even though I've complied 100%. I have no fingerprints left from washing my hands so much and the masks? Well I'd rather take the first shot.

Dear Nucky, you’ve always been a beam of shining light at this forum. I always look forwards to your humor and kindness.
