re: Poll: The U.S. is about to run out of adults who are eager to get vaccinated

I think you probably should get the vaccine if you are high risk or super worried about Covid. Get it and you will most likely have minimal side effects and you can move on with your life.

Oh I agree with you on that.

I just got over COVID about 3 weeks ago. It was a bad flu for the first week then just sluggish the second week. I am all good now. No issues or antyhing.
I may consider the vaccine once I no longer test for antibodies only because I know someone that had it twice a year apart and the second time they had it they had long-lasting side effects that were hard to shake and they are in better health than I am.
I have never been against the vaccine despite what others on here think from my previous posts. Instead, I have always said I will wait and make my desicion.

Yeah. They may not get COVID, maybe. They really don’t fricking know.
Know how I know this?
Came via text today:
Nothing you said makes any sense. Of course the vaccine prevents. That's the point.

Wrong. Not only can you still get it, but you can pass it to others according to experts. So explain why they even care if you’re vaccinated at the border if you can still contract and pass the virus?
That’s what makes no sense.

I had Covid in January. My entire immediate family did actually. None of us had bad symptoms and all recovered fine.
I'm sure I'll get the vaccine at some point, rather because I'm compelled to (which would absolutely piss me off) or on my own. I'm not just not in any rush.

My dad however is 72 and has some major health issues and refuses to get it. Like, no way, frick you. He's a pretty anti government/big pharma type though. His body his choice.

That would be the politicians who shut this thing down.

Ok. You're just an idiot with dumb opinions. Do yourself a favor and read up on the vaccine trials and development. Get a clue.

It's ridiculous what they did, especially after we knew what the effects were for most of the population. They should all be tarred and feathered other than people like DeSantis who pushed back pretty early on the lockdowns.

just 6 percent now say they have not yet been vaccinated but plan to get a shot “as soon as it is available to me.”
That’s down from 35 percent in February and 17 percent earlier in April.
They’ll get more people to take when they make it super convenient. You’d be surprised. Some people aren’t concerned enough to go out of their way to get vaccinated but they’ll still do it. I read they are going to start going door to door in poor hoods.
I deal with a large employer who had vaccinations at their main office. An email went out and 20% of the office signed up. Day of, 55% got the shot. They estimate 90% of their employees have had at least one shot now.

We all realize that. You CAN still contract it and die from it, but it severely reduces the risk. If you’re still too big of a pussy to go interact with someone because of the 8 in 100,000 chance you may get sick with it (and with severely reduced symptoms at that) then stay at home. You’re a fricking pussy that I would not want alongside me storming the beaches of Normandy and quite frankly go frick yourself and don’t breed. We don’t need Beta Pussy Males like you breeding.

Yep. Intelligent method would be to quarantine those at high risk and let the virus run through the population who don't want quarantined.
But intellectually lazy politicians just punished everyone.

Cost us trillions in the process and I'd bet the impact wouldn't have been much different if we just isolated the extremely vulnerable and let everyone else go about their lives.

Isn't the mantra "My body, my choice?" I am generally healthy and don't get the flu shot, I will wait and see what the long term side effects of the vaccine are. You can call the unvaccinated the control group, remember that we have to trust the science and that is generally a big part of an experiment.
Also, remember when it was 2 weeks to flatten the curve, those goalposts just keep on moving.

Even DONALD TRUMP says get the vaccine, if you are comfortable with it.
If not, don't get it.....

What’s weird to me is officially you still aren’t fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after 2nd dose of the mRNA vaccines even though you are 2 weeks after J&J.
More recent studies put effect of 1 dosage of the mRNA vaccines after 2 weeks higher than initial reports after 1 dosage (which were mostly at 7 days) and as high or higher than J&J shot 2 weeks out.
Second shot increases effect and possibly increases chances of having a T-cell response, but whatever rules exist in some places (regardless of whether rules should exist) they should not still limit people who got first dosage Pfizer or Moderna 2 weeks ago while not limiting people who got J&J vaccine 2 weeks ago. Also assuming that being “fully” vaccinated affects having to quarantine which should be the same 2 weeks out for 1 dosage with any of the current vaccines.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/29/cdc-study-shows-single-dose-of-pfizer-or-moderna-covid-vaccines-was-80percent-effective.html
On quarantining I just read an article that a school district in April changed to the lesser quarantine days of 7 with a negative test result or 10 without test stating lowering amount positives since end of January, but the biggest part of article to me was that after quarantining almost 10,000 students and teachers over school year up through the beginning of April for defined contacts with someone at school who later tested positive only 1.7% of those quarantined ever tested positive because of that quarantine causing contact. 98.3% should have stayed in school or continued to teach at the school.
If you have a proper system in place quarantines should not happen to people following that system, and if you are 2 weeks past one of any of the vaccines quarantines should not happen either.
