Regardless, I agree. Take the politics out of vaccines.
Hilarious, when your opening post put the politics into the issue.

What's political about being patriotic?

No more than you are. Yet doctors are reporting long-term effects from contracting Covid-19. Given the medical information available to us, I'd rather take a chance on the vaccine than on the virus itself.

It's funny how abortion isn't contagious.

Why the HECK should I let the government dictate how to treat my health and body? I think anyone who wants or thinks the government has your health as their best interest is out of their dang mind.

If the government really cared about our health they would be mandating people get healthy.
We are full of contradictions today, aren't we?

Capitalism is so pesky.
I'm not saying I don't agree with you. But capitalism is the economic system we've chosen, and we have to live with it, warts and all.

There is a difference between capitalism and corporatism. In the case of the vaccine I will go one step further. Operation Warp Speed was paid for by the taxpayers. We are equal shareholders in the final product.
That’s quite the assumption. I watch tv. I don’t have anxiety about these things. Are you assuming I didn’t get vaccinated?
Folks who are fretting about long term affects of the shot have every right to do so, especially since it was so rushed and already has serious side affects.
Why was the Johnson & Johnson vaccine paused?
This isn't about politics. It isn't about you, either.
The thread IS about people sharing observations from diverse places.
I will say the "the vaccine was rushed" cry, from general anti-government (bureaucracy, dumb rules, etc) crowds, is pretty ironic. We got Pfizer - and the others - because the FDA/CDC said "go get an effective and safe vaccine, and forget about the typical years-long red tape."
Let's talk about that for a sec.
I've posted several times that the issue most people have with this vaccine is that it hasn't gone through the same processes that previous vaccines and drugs were subjected to.
Included in those posts was the simple logic that if those processes are required to produce a product which is known to be at least relatively safe and effective, then the current vaccines being distributed haven't been proven as such. If those processes aren't required to produce a safe and effective product and these new vaccines are safe, then how many have died or suffered incredibly while waiting for approvals on other drugs or vaccines because of that corruption/"red tape"?
There's only two ways to look at it. Either the vaccine hasn't been proven yet, or the process is corrupt and people have suffered and died as a result. It can't be neither.

OWS as part of CARES Act was funded from newly created Fed money. So taxpayers not directly involved.
Another poster has been using a Russian based search engine Yandex for learning and making his or her vaccination decision. No better way for a foreign entity to instill political division.

There is no such thing as "Fed Money". All of gov't is funded by taxpayers. Whether we pay for it now or are on the hook to pay it back later is irrelevant.
