Sooner rather than later to mine. I've been required to wear a mask since last April and the vaccine won't be far behind. I take no issue with the safety. I think there's a lot of safety data that is missing, but nonetheless the vaccine eppears to be 1000 times safer than getting the disease, maybe more than that. I have no problem big issue the efficacy, although the data is missing for that too.
The "breakthrough" cases might be a small percentage, but the same 1 or 2% of those cases die. IOW, they say the vaccine makes the disease less severe if you still get it, but that's not apparent from the data in some states. There are potential escape mutant cases that they don't talk about.
Finally there's the little problem of being required to take an experimental and unapproved vaccine (EUA is not approval). That's an actual human rights violation. I will refuse on those grounds. Worst case I get fired.
“the vaccine eppears to be 1000 times safer than getting the disease”
It doesn’t look like that to me.
You have to be kidding.
The ROI is poor trying to avoid this.
As far as death. Still out on “long-term effects” - and if they’re truly long, or just longish.
The vaccines have been rushed through. Never trust anything biological to be rushed. It’s ridiculous.
Meanwhile on average any given person has a 1% (at worst) chance of dying.
This is not the Black Plague, and I don’t think the potential cost of untested (truly) vaccines is worth the potential cost of Wuhan Flu.
BTW, my MIL died from COVID (Jan 6 no less) pneumonia, very quickly. Meanwhile, my more elderly mother and the other 4 of us in close contact all had it before Xmas. My husband suffered the most with severe fatigue, as I did, and my cousin. Otherwise the child had a mild headache and sniffles, and mother a “cold” for a few days. We were all hit with it but all were over it in 3 weeks at worst.
Back in summer my nephew had it and gave it to wife and MIL. They are all OK. My own MIL’s extended family had it mostly in Nov; all ~10 of them OK.
So yes, it took my MIL, but she had issues (though it was still a shock). Meanwhile many of us moved on.
It’s not worth it to potentially find we have embolism or are paralyzed down the road (yeah, that happened to my DH’s postman in the ‘70s flu fears).
