Is anyone here brave enough to get this vax? I haven’t decided yet... I want to wait and see what the side effects are. I almost died TWICE from penicillin, before they figured out that I was VERY allergic. I am VERY allergic to so many drugs and red wasp stings.....

Not only am I not ever going to get this vaccine, I'm now more suspicious of all other vaccines.

Let the guinea pigs line up first and see how many side-effects there are from unnecessary vaccines forced through a system led by politically motivated hacks.

None of us who were alive during the government’s 1975 swine flu vaccine debacle will be racing to get jabbed. Their track record just ain’t that good.

Yes. It's a matter of time before all of us who venture outside our houses are exposed to the virus - we can either be exposed to it by some random infected stranger at the local Costco, or we can be exposed to it through a relentlessly tested vaccine. I'll go with the vaccine.

At this point, I wouldn't mind getting a full-blown case of COVID-19 just to get it over with and have the anti-bodies.

I am very allergic to many foods, fungas, mold and pollen as well, but if I can take a vaccine I do. I had to get a lot of diseases the old fashioned way that put me in hospital and wished I could take the vaccines. Unlike others on this db who want to slam medicine, including vaccines and love to tell the stories of what can go wrong, I am a big supporter of vaccines that are carefully tested and have a very low percentage of complications. My hope is if people like me get the vaccine, it will help to lower the risk for people who cannot (or do not wish to take the vaccine) but who have lower immunity.

If President Trump takes it, I’ll have no reservations about it. If he says no way, that would make me wary of it. But he’s been pushing very hard to make a safe and effective vaccine a reality.
