Just had my annual physical

What's your reason for not taking it? For your safety and the people your around daily.

I guess it's ok to skip if you live in a tiny town.

I'd get a new internal med doc. Mine said the exact opposite of that. In fact, he said that pretreating should be the goal: exercise, diet, outdoor activity, and proven prophylactics against corona viruses (Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc, etc).

Why would anyone take a vaccine for a disease when they have a 99.99% survival rate? It's insanity.

does your doctor also oppose the flu shot? because I doubt it

how have so many otherwise reasonable people lost all of their reason when it comes to this vaccine?

because that’s what insane to me

Because so many involved in government have lost their reason when it comes to virus control. It leaves us suspicious.

I wasn’t comparing the vaccine to the flu shot.

I was comparing the logic behind why someone would get the COVID vaccine to the flu shot.

Also to reiterate, the COVID vaccine was not rushed through development. It was developed faster due to allocation of resources and funding.

Also the technology is not new, but has been quite extensively researched for several decades.

We just haven’t had the funding or virus to apply it yet. We almost had one for SARS, but not enough people ever got SARS to even finish trials.

I’ll let everyone go first for a year and see if it’s harmful

I get that you’re saying it’s safe and I’m sure it is, but I don’t think you can say it wasn’t rushed in good faith. The driving government policy is literally called “Operation Warp Speed.”

There are 2 reason why medications/vaccines typically take so long for FDA approval:

1) government inefficiency and bloat
2) funding

Both of those were taken care of with this vaccine. The government provided most of the funding for the trials and removed a lot of the bullshite government shite that they normally do because they are the government. I work with the government everyday. I know how quickly and efficient they can move when they actually want to. And I know how slow they can be when its something that they deem of little importance.

The vaccines still all went through the exact trials of every other vaccine. There just wasn't months or a year between trials due to companies trying to raise funds.

Again, I don’t think you’re wrong. It’s just that the situation presents a conflict of interest to me. The government has been dangling a big block of cheese in front of big pharma that goes to the first to get a vaccine. This is the same big pharma sector that pushed opioids on the general public to the public’s detriment in the interest of money. Now, we’re saying “here’s a big pile of cash to whoever can do this first.”

As I type this, I realize my skepticism primarily from my distrust of big pharma more so than my distrust of government (although I can’t deny a good amount of that as well). I’m not downing on anyone that decides to get it and don’t think anyone who does so is stupid. As I said, it’s probably safe. However, I’m in a position from a health standpoint to just let this one play itself out.
