So you personally know more than 50 people with Covid?

Well, since the chance of the vaccine making you feel 100 times worse than the disease is near zero, I guess you can go right ahead and get it.

If the vaccine does well, Biden will be credited. If not well, it was created under "Trump's watch."

The media is so predictable.

Probably close to 100 people by now if I sat and made a list.

As for for second comment: whatever.

No thanks.
The 250k + dead in this country alone would have preferred a 1 day headache, imo.

That's the question.

Flu vaccine is largely a waste of time.

The real kicker is going to be how long this immunity lasts. If it lasts only one year I'm not sure what is going to happen in terms of the global economy.

Human DNA has been permanently changed throughout eons every time we encounter something that tries to either intentionally or accidentally make us extinct. It's called evolution

That being said, in the past few days I've been really trying to understand human health in light of all of this mess. And I'm really starting to suspect other factors in what drives our aging, disease and unfavorable genetic disorders, not vaccines as a primary culprit.

The People who get debilitating long term effects from vaccines may be getting it from an immune over-reaction to the actual pathogen vs other ingredients.

In other words, the "one size fits all" inoculation dose is probably too large for some and too little for others.

This sounds like after I took the pneumonia Vaccine but I had just fatigue and mild fever one day.

This will be a logistical problem nevertheless requiring two doses and potentially 2 days off work.
2 days off work is nothing compared to the 10+ days of isolation from actually getting COVID. Come on folks, can't we be thankful for something as Turkey Day approaches?

I have a .02% chance of dying from the flu and a .07% chance of dying from covid.

I'll skip the vaccine, thanks.

It may well require yearly vaccinations like Influenza. If so, very likely we'll soon see a combo vaccine - flu + Covid 19. Not a huge deal and the global economy will blossom.

Flu vaccine was not a waste of time for my elderly patients.

I am very interested in the long term effects. I don't jump on a band wagon for a vaccination easy.
