You act like they got monkeys in the lab building this vaccine with leggos, a mail in chemistry set and a rubber hammer. idk if you’ve noticed, but humans are pretty good at this vaccine building shite, we’ve been at it for awhile now, you don’t see people walking around with polio and dying from cholera anymore do you?

I get what you are saying in the long term, but in the short term did you not know that some of the first batches of the polio vaccine actually gave kids polio?

I understand that, but that was 65 years ago, super computers still hadn’t been invented and only a year before that had we learned how to put color on a TV. we’ve come a LONG way technologically and scientifically in that time, and even then we were still able to figure it out. There’s been more money, time, effort and access thrown at this effort than ever before, they’re isolating new antigens and figuring out the way this thing reacts every single day. Sure things really really sucks right now, but progress is happening.

Exactly. Both are relatively small risk. Thus, I choose not to be overly concerned with covid...so little, in fact, that I also choose not to receive the vaccine. No different than my risk analysis re: the flu

I will take it as soon as available and then immediately change my FB status to "vaccinated" and start the party.

I'm going to give it a few months and if my neighbor, Fred, isn't trying to build a time machine out of Budweiser cans and his kid's old tricycle or running around the yard naked trying to frick a squirrel, I will consider it.

I'd get it right now if I could, but I'm pretty far down on the distribution list since I'm a healthy 30 something.

So you are saying there is a small chance the vaccine might actually give someone COVID?

The horror..

Cool. I'm still not jumping in line to get a vaccine for something I'm not even worried about catching. I've had a lot of colds and the flu a couple of times, I'll just keep letting my immune system do its job

I will be low on the list of who will get it, I figure by the time I get it it would have been out for 6-9 months, I will see how it has impacted the virus and if anyone has had negative effects then I will decide.

That's smart. It's not really as effective unless you tell everyone you go it...and how much of a hero you are for doing so
