Will you take the Covid Vaccine?

[stchas]

I have concerns but my wife is a nurse and has been vaccinated for a bit now and she hasn’t mutated or anything, so ‍

Biden can go eat a pile of dung.

He already did, and s**t it out. I mean, Hunter wasn't "born" in the conventional sense.

I received my first shot (Pfizer) last Thursday and have had zero side effects. Even what little injection site soreness I had was gone the next morning. At least that's what the new voices in my head are telling me...I kid, I kid. Seriously, nothing. Looking forward to the final vaccination.

Wait, what? It's turning her into a man? I think some symbol got lost in translation.

On my phone it was a shrugging emoji, lol. Not sure why it's a gender symbol.

New administration (Biden). Everything's about gender now.

Did you pick it from your phone/device/computer? Or did you pick it from the "smilies" list in the textbox menu?

2 out of 3 chance I just got my first dose of an study vaccine. 1 out of 3 chance I just got a saline injection. 5 minutes into the 30 minute observation to see if I die quickly or slowly.

If I don’t post any more....I did it for humanity.

Just took the wife to get her second dose of Pfizer.

How long is the study?

Just took the wife to get her second dose of Pfizer.

How long is the study?

2 years, but it could be “unblinded” within 3 months of the second dose (21 days).

[ETA]Having read about the specific vaccine and being satisfied that it is a low-risk proposition (and that it presented no "life" issues), what really gave me pause is that well before I know whether I received a vaccine or a placebo, I may become eligible for what I know is a vaccine. However, I figured that to get back to "normal" we're going to need as many vaccines as possible (using different technologies) and while I have a comorbidity or 2 (which is one reason I'm in the study), I am at pretty low risk for COVID complications in that group. I'm certainly not doing it for the money.

I'm not sworn to secrecy about what study I'm in, but I'm going to keep that to myself for a while.

Oh, and clearly I made it through the 30 minute observation period without dying. The worst part was getting a very thorough nose swab to make sure I don't currently have COVID and getting blood drawn. Much deeper than the first one (TWSS). I barely felt the injection....wait a minute.

Slightly sore at the injection site today...and strange urge for braaaiiiinnnsssss....

Is the placebo saline or something else? I know in some studies they were considering using a placebo that created a mild inflammatory response so that people would not know their status based on the sore arm, etc

It is saline. I thought about that. To be more clear, the site itself is very slightly tender. My whole arm is sore, but it is mild soreness. I'll try not to read into that...but it's hard not to.

"Given the risks in the world around us and the uncertainty of the global rollout of the vaccine, we can expect our borders to be impacted for much of this year," Ardern said at a news conference.
For travel to restart, authorities either needed confidence that those vaccinated don't pass Covid-19 on to others, which is not yet known, or enough of the population needed to be vaccinated so people can safely re-enter New Zealand.

New Zealand's borders may stay shut for most of the year, PM Ardern says | CNN

New Zealand’s borders will remain closed for most of this year as the Covid-19 pandemic rages on, but the country will pursue travel arrangements with neighbouring Australia and other Pacific nations, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Tuesday.
