People see the Lies.

my son who is a recently graduated nurse at a big hospital in Dallas - jumped right in to get his shot.
I’m not touching it!
I don’t understand. Who would be “closer” to the virus. There is likely no segment of society who has had more exposure to or given more thought to the virus than health care workers. It has dominated our health care system for approximately a year.
Perhaps “closer” is not the right word, but I cannot think of anyone who has thought about the virus more than front-line medical folks. They have seen it, been around it, focused on preventing themselves from getting it, and now they are refusing the vaccine. That is what I meant.
I have a hard science background and I am certain that the “narrative” about this virus that is prescribed to it by history will be far different than what we now see. It should raise questions when health care workers are refusing it.
“Survey respondents leaning against taking the vaccine said, among other reasons, that they were concerned how politics influenced the development of the vaccine, the newspaper reported. “
Yeah - WHAT politics?
Because Trump championed it?
Because the governments are mandating it be used before reopening society?
Are they worried about the efficacy/safety but the PRESS won’t report it as such because that would be anti-vax and promptly get them banned from Facebook?
Didn’t Bill Gates promise to test the vaccines on Africans before providing it to Western countries?
This seems to be the consensus of a small number of vocal NYC healthcare nutjobs. I promise that it’s not even on the radar around Houston’s giant medical community, or anywhere else that I’m aware of. They are - e-l-a-t-e-d - to get COVID vaccinated. I will be too.
I recently saw my doctor for a routine physical. When your own primary care physician says they are not getting the vaccine, nor will anyone in their family... Of course pretty soon the deep state will take not of this and apply all kinds of pressure on healthcare workers to “set a good example” — so the rest of the sheeple will fall in line.
What kind of fascist demands a person be forcefully medicated agains their will for employment?
GTFO with that. People like you don’t belong on FreeRepublic
First of all look at who is refusing. Not all heath care workers have medical backgrounds. Those who care for covid patients daily may have a different take than the receptionist who checks you into the ER. Health care workers are not immune to reading crackpot internet sites anymore than those who post here are. some have other reasons for not taking it. It comes down to a risk benefit decision for every individual.
*Nearly 25 years of anesthesia and critical care. I refused it.*
Now you can rely on your responsible neighbors to protect you from the virus.
I think your comment regarding the number of health care workers who have already had it needs to be considered. If one has had the disease and likely immune, why bother with the vaccine? Some suggest it will give a broader protection but I can understand foregoing the vaccine. No mention is made of what percentage of healthcare workers are in that category but it is likely substantial, thus making the choice to not vaccinate not as damaging as the vaccine fearmongers suggest.
I am in the Moderna trial, don’t know if I have the placebo or the real thing - but I haven’t been sick. Minor arm pain for a few days, no big deal.
I personally think a lot of this is political theater, delaying the vaccination due to fears when Operation Warp Speed is actually quite a success. Can’t have that, need to wait until a D is in and then give them all the credit for ending the spread.
My husband, daughter, brother and myself, all physicians who work in covid wards have all had the vaccine. Draw your own conclusions
Where have you been? 'Health care' systems have been MANDATING flu shots for their employees (ALL of them) for YEARS!
As someone said here the other day, why be injected with a new, cobbled-together vaccine with potential, as-yet-unknown side-effects for a virus with a 99-plus-percent recovery rate?
Just like lockdowns and masks, this seems more about control than about health.
The govt can’t even send out $600 checks correctly so I’m not surprised people are not eager to take a shot from the govt that’s rushed thru testing
Your DIL may have had it and not known it. I am glad your family members had mild cases. Most people do. The ones that do not are the problem. There is no way to predict ahead of time what kind of case you will have. It all depends on your tolerance for risk and whatever other factors you have in your life.
A friend who works in a hospital in an office job so not exactly front line got it and said it was no problem. I’m still leery though. I won’t be in line to get it for quite a while so we’ll see how the early guinea pigs are doing when that time arrives.

The Leftists wanted and cheered the fake News and Fake Investigations to get Trump, but I think it came at a cost.
More people see the talking heads as liars and purveyors of fiction.
