re: When they come out with a Covid vaccine, would you take it...?

Three comments here

1) that was literally at the very beginning of vaccine science.

2) they don't use that live virus method any more. They use inert material that tricks the body into making antibodies

3) with computer modeling, they can develop safer, faster, more effective treatments. You're talking about how the Wright Bros crashed, and therefore you don't feel safe getting on a modern jetliner.

Vaccines are safe and effective. And this one will be too. Final answer.

Admittedly, I'm no expert so I'll consider what you are saying. But isn't the mRNA approach that Moderna is taking cutting edge brand new biotech aswell? I may be mistaken but I also think I heard on CNBC one day it was the first vaccine developed with that approach. Maybe in 70 years, they'll be talking about that mRNA disaster.

I'm not sure if Ill take it or not, we don't have enough data or even a vaccine to talk about. I do, however, think the concern that we were told 2 to 3 years is standard, and now they want to push this thing out for emergency use in 8 months is not completely crazy. It seems pretty rational to raise your eyebrow at that.
