Americans are divided on the forthcoming coronavirus vaccine as just 51% say they would get vaccinated for the disease if a vaccine was available today, according to a Pew Research Center poll.

Who would want to get an untested, rushed, vaccine, which has the potential of lasting side effects — and for a disease which is much less worse than the flu, for anyone under 60?

Seems like many of that 51% could use a sanity check. For the Dem part of the 51%, there isn’t any hope.

They didn’t ask me so that’s slightly lower than 51%.

I would look at the available data, do my own assessment of risk/benefit, and then make up my mind. I suppose on a poll that would be categorized as “undecided”.

The obese, aged and diabetics should be the first focus (voluntarily, of course). That will take 4 months minimum. By then, we’ll know how many side effects it has.

“Who would want to get an untested, rushed, vaccine, which has the potential of lasting side effects — and for a disease which is much less worse than the flu, for anyone under 60?”

What do you think happens during all the phase trials?

There are supposed to be more anti-vaxxers on the left, than on the right.

I want the vaccine ASAP because I like to travel outside the US. And, I am a Trump supporter. I guess in your opinion, that makes me stupid. So be it, I don’t value your opinion.

When were they. Trials on a vaccine usually take several years.

Yawn. We don’t believe in flu vaccines.

You must have been asleep for the past few months. There’s a term you should research - Warp Speed. Yes, three months takes three months to pass but the paper shuffling that occurs before Phase 1 and between the other phases can be compressed. Also, the politicking can be reduced. Sorry.
