I get a flu shot every year for the last 30 years, and I swear by them, as soon as I am able to get the covid vaccine, I am getting it.


I don't want covid. I will absolutley get the vaccine.

I'm not an Anti vaxxer believe in science, but let me see a vaccine normally takes years to develop.
  • This vaccine got approval in months.
  • The initial published tests results were wrong.
  • The new test results are 95% success
  • No long term studies cuz again vaccine takes years
  • CEO of Pfizer refuses to take vaccine, but will sell it to govt.
  • First showcase of vaccination process is a black nurse and the doctor is also black.

Normally race doesn't matter, but here it does. Um yeah I'm not taking this crap only to develop neurological damage 20 years later. Bottom line is, America should've just paid everyone to stay home for 3 months and we would be like Korea/Vietnam/China. We didn't chose profits over people and now I must take a vaccine that has not gone through the official process, but instead the 8month political rush job. Furthermore, the makers of the vaccine are free of an liability in the future. That pretty much says it all. If this vaccine is approved and safe, accept lability. Take accountability. If I develop cancer or speech impairment 5-10 years later pay my damn medical bills that will cost me an arm and a leg or wipe out my savings.

They don't. Scam.

I don't think any vaccine makers in the US have liability for damage - there's a national compensation program instead. So this is typical. That said, yeah, I'm very wary of this vaccine too. I saw an article that says they didn't study it enough on people who already had COVID: https://www.businessinsider.com/do-p...accine-2020-11 And I'm pretty sure I had it this spring, not that I could prove it since antibodies don't usually last this long. I'd still consider taking one for the team if this vaccine could prevent me from catching the virus again and getting others sick - but as of now, this isn't confirmed. Maybe it's like the flu shot, protects the taker but they might still be contagious. In which case, nah, I don't need protecting, and the risks for me are bigger than the benefits. Still, very excited that the vaccine exists at all - there are def lots of people out there for whom the benefits outweigh the risks.

You just need proper Vitamin D levels and you won't need vaccine every year. People in other countries that never had flu vaccine do just fine. I'm not against vaccine but it's more important to keep vitamin D levels up.
