Only half of Americans would get a COVID-19 vaccine - would you? (employment, polls)

at least that, with the added benefit of letting Chuck Darwin continue his work

I think you should change your little byline under your name. It doesn't seem to suit you well considering this post.

Which one? The one that is so unstable it needs to be on stored on dry ice or the one that has 2 doses a month apart?

Looks to me like there is not one yet that is viable. Do the medical people really think those in Trump's defined ****hole countries will know to come out of the bush for the 2nd shot?

I'm gonna wait til there is something more stable. Check out Laurie Garrett on Lawrence O'Donnell. She had something to say about vaccines.

I'll try to keep up, apologies in advance. You didn't even mention the US, so no, it wasn't clear. Try to be more precise. And in a globally mobile world, what happens in another country has a huge impact here, unless we close all border crossings for 6+ months. The curve is very spiky and at best, has flattened. If we slowly but surely open up, we will slowly but surely creep back up in the infection rate and morbidity.

I said "other".

I'm a firm supporter of vaccination. Get my flu shot every year, got the pneumonia and shingles shots.

But I am not convinced that a vaccine developed in such a short period of time is both safe and effective. Maybe it is. But I'll wait and see.

And in the meantime, I'll keep on wearing a mask in public and avoiding crowds/strangers.

I put 'maybe' since we don't know anything about this vaccine, because it doesn't exist, it's hopeless to speculate.

I’ll get mine right after Bill Gates and his family receives theirs.
