Of course, when it’s ready and available. I’m tired of the lockdown. I don’t want to contract Covid-19 and I don’t want to inadvertently infect anyone else. It’s like any type of medication, I got the polio vaccine as a child, I’ve had tetanus shots, and I get flu shots regularly. It would be crazy to get paranoid now over something that might stop a disease that’s killing thousands of people daily. 🙁

@bijouxbroussard I keep wondering when vaccines became a political issue. There are risks to everything, but I don't see a conspiracy with getting vaccines.

It seems the same people that downplay COVID are also the same people that won't get a vaccine. I simply don't get it.

@Peapod I remember only one immediately discredited “study” in the UK, that tried to connect vaccines with autism in children. Some people took that and ran with it. All the scientists (including the originator of the study) said it wasn’t accurate, but those folks have refused to let it go and have demonized vaccines ever since.

@bijouxbroussard Autism has been around for a very long time. Some of the more severe cases ended up in an institution. Sadly, we used to diagnose children with any challenge with "retardation". This is a fact and this went on right up until the time we began to empty out the institutions. When "autism" was finally recognized as something completely different than "retardation", we were vaccinating our children. So began an unfounded rumor that still goes on today.
