Are u going to get that Covid-19 "vaccination" ? 😷✨

@Crazywaterspring We know it's horrible. But the agenda remains.

@NerdyPotato in my state that part wouldn't matter. General population gets theirs last. First up is nursing homes and medical workers. At best I couldn't get the shot until March / April

@Callmewhatyouwill should still boost your immune response

@SW-User it may, but it sits pretty low on my urgency list.

I mean shit I still have to update my hepatitis and tetanus shots for work

@Zonuss Sadly 50% isn't enough for herd immunity, so let's hope this improves or we'll never have big gatherings again.

@NerdyPotato No virus lasts forever. Not even a biochemical one. 🙄

@Zonuss fair enough. You can stop social distancing and wearing masks before the virus is gone and let it run wild until no more suitable host is left alive, but that doesn't sound appealing either.

@Confined they will, as with all drugs continue safety studies never stop.

But that is no reason to start taking it. There's no reason to believe that will happen.

It might happen... It probably won't.

Do you cross the road? Drive a car? Take paracetamol? All things that have a risk of death associated with them. But you weigh up the risk and continue. The vaccine is on the existing analysed evidence as safe if not safer than those things.

@SW-User about like the miracle drug off Santa that's now recalled after years of use and approval of the government

@MarineBob what miracle drug?

@Virgo94 Hmmmmmm. Ok.

@NerdyPotato there's not enough to vaccinate half of the people

@MarineBob There will be.

@NerdyPotato The guy has obviously got pigshit for brains - I'm out of here.

@ArtieKat some business here have already stated that. Ticketmaster being the most notable so far.

@NerdyPotato Many different treatments being worked on.

@MarmeeMarch True, but the safety standards are the same for every COVID vaccine and every other vaccine and if any of them killed a single person during the trials, that one won't make it onto the market.

@NerdyPotato Sure - I agree - that goes with all the drugs. What I meant was the vaccine platforms are about 6 - or so https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7423510/table/tbl0005/?report=objectonly

@saragoodtimes 🙂

@Keepitsimple I highly doubt it. There's very little to indicate do far any side effects.

Do you take any drugs? Especially over the counter ones they pose statistically a much great risk to you.

If you eat meat you're ingesting loads of anti biotic and hormone therapy drugs through that.

You take a risk on everything everyday. But taking this vaccine (or one of the others close to approval) will be one of the safest things you ask that day.

@SW-User We shall see. 🙂

@Zonuss Well after 30 years in industry sime of which spent in close contact with government ministers, advisors, regulators etc I see no evidence.

All I did see is thatost politicians are far less Smart than the advisors they ignore.

@Rhodesianman Wrong! I'm taking it, but the guilt trip you're trying to create is bullshit and untrue. If someone doesn't take it, how can they spread it to someone that did? If you're taking it then your safe right?

Try respecting others for a change.

@Rhodesianman they also wouldn't recommend it if they weren't getting paid to give you a shot or two

@Poppies I went go to google [b]scholar[/b] - then typed covid vaccine.

@MarmeeMarch Understand I never made any medical claims at all--I simply stated what was already known--not everyone can be vaccinated at the beginning and those with the biggest risk factors will be first, along with medical personnel and other first responders. Age is one of the risk factors, not the only one. I'm one of the "young old" without other risk factors. Therefore I don't have anything to decide at the beginning--many others will be ahead of me.

@Poppies ok

@basilfawlty89 Careful. 🙂

@PTCdresser57 imagine if everyone before you started dying 2 days after you get the shot

@saragoodtimes why would you imagine such horrible things if there is no way that's ever going to happen?

@Jeffrey53 Good point. 🙂

@PhilDeep No.

@Zonuss Okay, thanks. In the UK they're going stage-wise, supposedly from most vulnerable first, then moving along to less and less vulnerable. Under 50s like me won't have the option for several months, so not really having to think too much about it.

For some reason medics aren't as high on the list as previously thought, which seems a bit strange to me. I thought usually whoever was innoculating was first innoculated themself, to avoid being an immediate risk, but who knows?

Also they're currently rolling out the Pfizer solution which is mRNA based, apparently the first vaccine of its kind. Later they're more likely to use the Oxford solution, which is more traditional, so I'd prefer that, if anything, frankly.

@PhilDeep I believe that's how most places are doing it because supplies will be limited to start off with

@smileylovesgaming Because. 🤔

@Zonuss it would need properly tested. Not just rushed out

@Vegasfor30 😆✨

@Stereoguy Sounds sensible to me. 🙂
