WHO says healthy young people might not be able to get the coronavirus vaccine until 2022

Healthy young people might not get the coronavirus vaccine until 2022 as public health officials focus on immunizing the elderly and other vulnerable groups first, top officials from the World Health Organization said Wednesday.
Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, WHO’s chief scientist, said health workers, frontline workers and the elderly will likely be offered a vaccine first, though prioritization details are still being worked out by the WHO and its advisory groups. And, of course, a vaccine for the virus has yet to be deemed safe and effective by the WHO, the European Union or the United States.
“People tend to think that on the first of January or the first of April, I’m going to get the vaccine, and then things will be back to normal,” Swaminathan said. “It’s not going to work like that.”
She added that the world will hopefully have at least one safe and effective vaccine by 2021, but it will be available in “limited quantities.” The WHO’s strategic advisory group of experts on immunization, or SAGE, recently published guidelines for countries on how to consider prioritizing different groups of people.
More than 10 coronavirus vaccines around the world are in late-stage clinical trials, Swaminathan said, adding that as various vaccines are potentially cleared for distribution, SAGE will release guidance on what populations each vaccine is best suited for and how to logistically distribute it.
“Most people agree that it’s starting with healthcare workers and frontline workers, but even then you need to define which of them are at highest risk and then the elderly and so on,” Swaminathan said. “There will be a lot of guidance coming out, but I think an average person, a healthy young person might have to wait until 2022 to get a vaccine.”

So they will continue to not be at risk until 2022.

I mean, that's probably smart. Healthy young people won't die of COVID-19 so no reason to "waste" limited doses on them. Just like with quarantine, let's protect old people and vulnerable people and let everyone else go about their lives.

Sounds fine by me. If the at risk groups are no longer at risk. It's over.
Right?....right?

I’m 34 and I’m not taking that vaccine until I’m damn sure it isn’t going to kill me or track me.

We shut the world down and demanded they all go broke and jobless.

They aren't even running vaccine trials on people under 18 years of age. There will be no vaccine for children for years and I would bet there never will be.
Kids not going to school is only fear based, period. No science to back it up at all.

Why would a young healthy person need a vaccine for this?
Why would they want one?

So, we get to see how it works on the older unhealthy people before deciding if we want to put the vaccine in our system?

Which means they will push the social mask distancing Bull sit forever. They are just trying to make it permanent as a control measure. Commies!

I don’t really give a frick as long as the Covid nuts will end the draconian restrictions they’ve put in place once the vaccine is deployed

it will be a hell of a lot longer than that before I take a vaccine

Maybe everywhere but here. We don't care what WHO says anymore.

Coronas will be a threat till 2022. That is how I read it.
