You’re missing the point. This is a virus with 99.97% survivability for a majority of the population. You’re not asking me to inoculate against measles, mumps, rubella, polio, hepatitis, etc. I see no point being injected with something that my immune system can fight off itself and with better results.
This vaccine and the accompanying “documentation” will be used as an anvil of control against the populace. Refuse to take, and you will be forbidden from doing business. I don’t normally subscribe to conspiracy theories, but given the absolute social pandemonium associated with this minor illness and political climate in which we live, the writing, I believe, is on the wall.
IFR is 0.65%, so survivability across the population is 99.35%. R0 is 2.5. HIT is 1-1/R0 or 60%. US population is 330 million. 60% of that is 198 million. 0.65% of 198 million is ~1.3 million dead.
There's a reason President Trump has been pushing this since April. He knew then what the toll would be if nothing was done. So he did the best thing he could do: worked to ensure safe and effective vaccines entered the marketplace ASAP; faster than ever before in history.

Talk with doctors actually dealing with COVID-19 patients. It's not all old and sick people. Young and healthy people - while the exception rather than the rule - are also getting deathly ill from this. And there's ample evidence from the Stanford study to support that your immune system will produce better results on the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines than it will with getting infected with the actual disease.
"I don’t normally subscribe to conspiracy theories"
Okay, then why start now? Conspiracy theories are born when people jump to conclusions, then retroactively construct a house of cards of random bits of information with no context strung together into a tapestry of confirmation bias. They serve no useful purpose. They're a distraction from real issues right in front of us.
That is the key point. These nurses reveal what many of us know. This virus is weak for the majority of the population. I don’t like the idea of vaccines for a virus that the vast majority of people don’t even get symptoms with, if they have it. It is like me buying boat insurance. Hint: I don’t have a boat.
