Will you take the Covid Vaccine?

[JettaKnight]

The fact is, they don’t know. They don’t even know for sure if it will or will not cause infertility.

Like I said before, I’m not against vaccinations. But I will be waiting for awhile before I take this one.

Vaccination and free virtual vasectomy?! What's not to love?

I was going to lament that I paid for mine...but thoughts about what could have happened in the last 15 years lets me know I made the right decision.

For all of you that are waiting a year or few:

Are you taking major steps to avoid Covid?

Because Covid's not going to step aside while we find out about more about it and the vaccine.

Interesting, worth listening to:

Mmmm...maybe if it was done correctly instead of warp speed, captain. We saw a blurb on Moderna trial persons got Bell's Palsy from it. Not sure if I want that poo. I already shake like a cat shifting razor blades with my essential tremors. My wife has Klumpke palsy and it sucks for her. That and she married me.

Four people in the vaccine trial got Bell's Palsy, three of whom received the vaccine, one the placebo.

The incidence of Bell's Palsy is 12 per 100,000 people per year. (some sources list up to 40 cases per 100k per year)

With 30,000 people in the trial, you would expect 3.6 cases.

This is my big hangup. They don't know. They don't even fully understand the virus yet. They are learning about more symptoms, and long term effects of the virus. They are puzzled by the fact that one person may be asymptomatic, while another requires hospitalization. Do we quarantine for 14 days, or 10? They are playing the "make it up as you go" game with this virus, and I need a whole lot more time to see what happens before I commit to something.

I am on the no side with the possibility that if I refuse, I may be fired. I hope it doesn't come to that. It messes with RNA and anything it does planned or unplanned would be permanent. Read one article talking about it working by rewriting your cells to produce a spiked cell wall similar to a virus cell wall. Wonder if that would cause you to become a disease to non-vaccinated. Who knows what else. For most Covid is not as dangerous as the vaccine.

1. Yes
2. No
3. Unsure

Maybe a 4th option for the poll? "You first"

We are about to administer several million doses of an experimental vaccine to our entire medical community and you are worried about the people not taking it.

Yeah this seems a lot more critical to me but hey.....who am I.

 

[mbills2223]

I said no, although I certainly would in the future.

There is one huge reason I would not take it - Thalidomide.

As a couple of folks have asked me out here in the real world I have answered, "Thalidomide."

For those who do not know Thalidomide was a simple, easy, "safe," anti-nausea drug given to women back in the 50's and 60's (or about there) for nausea during pregnancy. The birth defects that followed numbered in the thousands and probably tens of thousands.

As much as we often with just cause condemn and disparage government rules and regulations there is sometimes an extremely good reason for such rules! Such is the lesson of thalidomide. There is a damn good reason that drug approval may take years, so that we as the consumer and the medical profession can fully understand the risk / reward balance of choosing or not choosing certain options.

These vaccines that are either approved or on the verge of approval have not been thoroughly vetted. The current mortality rate of Covid19 is about 0.5%. If I contract the disease I am about 75% likely not to know it at all, 20% likely to be sick like with the flu, 4.5% likely to be fouled up severely, and 0.5% to actually die. Given those known probabilities I will wait until further studies have been completed.

IF this were MERS (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome) that has about a 36% mortality rate THEN I would fight to be near the front of the line. Knowledge is power. Facts give us the ability to make the BEST decisions we can. We may not be right but we can certainly tip the odds in our own favor. We have been given a brain to think with. I believe we should use it.

With the passage of time and further data coming in over the following weeks, monthes, and years I will be more likely to take a Covid19 vaccine, making my decision based upon a better documented history of data that will lead to facts. It doesn't mean I'll be right, but it does mean the odds will be "ever in my favor."

Doug

Thalidomide wasn't approved by the FDA at that point though...

It's not experimental. I think there is a pretty massive knowledge gap in this country in how clinical trials work. Fast =/= rushed, experimental or dangerous.

OK "BUT".....with a crap laden MSM are we actually getting all of the info. The correct info.

I couldn't say, I don't listen to that garbage from ANY network. I go for primary sources only in matters of science.

OK. What is your solid opinion on this as I do not listen to the crap mill either.

No, you heard about someone (four actually) developed Bell's Palsy during the trial. There's no proof the vaccine caused it.

 

[bwframe]

Has it been discussed yet how vaccinations just might go after Jan 20th?

Will not the Harris/Biden administration be a lot like Obama's? Regulations, for regulations, for regulations...

The socialist's thrive on gov't bureaucracy and the peons being dependent. Will they conveniently find excuse to s-l-o-w t-h-i-n-g-s d-o-w-n ???

 

[knot4reel]

My wife and I are fighting covid 19. So yes I will take the vaccine. Trust me you don't want this virus.

Yeah, but my bigger concern is supposed "health care leadership" lying to the masses "for their own good!"

It's about integrity... it's about trust. I'm looking at you, Fauci!

FWIW, I haven't decided yet, but I reckon I have 3-4 months before I even have the option to decide for myself. But I'm researching now as my spouse will have to decide much sooner... she works at an elder care facility... and if she asks my opinion, I'd like to be informed. Two of my offspring have already received the first dose, they are on the front lines and will be administering the vaccine to others.
