How many of you "non flu shot getters" will get a Corona vaccine when ready?

I wonder if this will become a requirement to attend school/work as it is to attend school now?

Never had a flu shot, won't get the Corona shot.

But I will have a shot of tequila.

If it was ready sometime soon, sure. But if this vaccine is more than a year away I might just forget about it.

I hope you understand that the flu shot is just a guess. We do not know what strain of flu will be problematic for the northern hemisphere. So an educated guess is made and vaccines are made for that particular strain of flu will be based on events in the Southern Hemisphere. If it ends up being a different strain than that which it was guessed to be (which it often is) then the flu shot you got is not going to do anything.

A lot of is who are healthy just make the sensible choice to go to an annual exam or whatever and call it a day . Depending on how this goes and risk factors I would not be opposed on principle to taking a vaccine. I think you approach medical issues from a medical standpoint, not an ideological one.

I will get it. I have covid right now and it isn't fun but the worst part is being on house arrest effectively. I get the flu shot every year. I still got the flu last year but it was mild thanks to the vaccine. I am gonna start getting the pneumonia vaccine starting next year.

I don’t think I’d rush to get it. I would hope my older family members would though.

As I am required by Navy policy to get the flu shot every year, I'm assuming Navy policy will update itself to require me to get the Wuhan Flu shot as well.

Who needs a shot? Just drink that magic elixir Trump is peddling during his pressers.

This is such a tired, uneducated, bullshite line. At the very least it will decrease the severity of symptoms and, across a population of millions, makes a significant impact.

Facts.

The TDS-suffering fool doesn't understand that the hydroxychloroquine cocktail Trump is talking about had documented success so far. Hopefully the little loon will contract the virus and stick to his principles in denying himself the treatment because OMB. Everyone would be better for it

Jesus. Your Trump Derangement levels are critical mass. Seek a vaccine for that first.

People like him are so blinded by rage that they do not have the ability to acknowledge anything there than that which paints trump and his supporters as being illegitimate. It’s sad really.

Countries like France and China (beloved by the left) rave about results from chloroquine - "Awesome news, look what socialized medicine discovered!"

Trump promotes Chloroquine - "OMG he's peddling a magic potion that can kill you!"

These things occurred like 4 days apart

You guys need to get a grip

Or better yet, get the frick out and go find a utopia that better suits you
