The availability of a vaccine for the novel coronavirus will likely play a key role in determining when Americans can return to life as usual. Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on April 30 announced that a vaccine could even be available by January 2021.
Whether a vaccine can end this pandemic successfully, however, depends on more than its effectiveness at providing immunity against the virus, or how quickly it can be produced in mass quantities. Americans also must choose to receive the vaccine.
According to some estimates, 50% to 70% of Americans would need to develop immunity to COVID-19 – either naturally, or via a vaccine – in order to thwart the spread of the virus. If these estimates are correct, that could mean that nearly twice as many Americans would need to elect to receive a COVID-19 vaccine than those who currently opt to be vaccinated against seasonal influenza. Just 37% of American adults did so in 2017-2018, even in the midst of a historically severe flu season.
Making matters more complicated is the possibility that people who hold skeptical views about vaccine safety – sometimes referred to as "anti-vaxxers" – will not opt to receive the coronavirus vaccine. According to some estimates, about one-fifth to two-fifths of Americans express reservations about vaccine safety. If most of these individuals forego receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, they could potentially jeopardize the recovery process.
One of us is a doctoral candidate, and the other is a professor, and we both study vaccine resistance. We conducted a study, which is currently undergoing peer review, where we estimate the number of Americans who report being willing to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, once it becomes available. We also investigate the reasons some Americans might refuse the vaccine.

Well, then, they shouldn’t get any medical treatment if they contract it, just as it should be with everything else involving vaccinations.
What was that nice vaccine they gave to children decades ago that permanently scarred their arms?
Very common intracellular zinc deficiency is what makes viral replication possible for viruses to take advantage of, finally reaching virus levels that surpass the capabilities of antibody formation to suppress the viral disease..at about three weeks, cytokine storm from huge virus loads ends the patient’s life.
Simple nutritional preventive medicine via use of absorbable zinc supplements such as chelates, gluconates, citrates (as in zinc packs for colds)provides year round, 24/7, prevents viruses from multiplying to disease producing levels, making epidemics impossible form simple immunological herd immunity.
No vaccines are necessary for healthy herds. The US population is an immunologically unhealthy herd. Two thirds of Americans likely have some degree of zinc deficiency which easily explains the mild to severe disease expressions of viral diseases such as flu as well as covid 19.
The flu vaccine is only about 50% successful in preventing flu, and the breakthroughs are no doubt related to varying degrees of zinc deficiency, allowing varying degrees of viral replication to occur, thus producing the spectrum of disease ranging from Pos Covid-19 test with no disease to mild disease, to disease requiring hospitalization.
Before even EARLY treatment occurs, why not simply ensure all 330M US citizens are on cheap, readily available absorbable zinc supplementation year round at a cost of $5 to $10 a year and avoid the depredations of the cold, flu as well as coronavirus and other viral infections?
PREVENTIVE NUTRITIONAL IMMUNOLOGICAL MEDICINE is 100% lacking in the information being given to Americans from “expert” printed and tv/smartphone media.
Think about this.
I’ll get one of these (there are several varieties in development), but I’m going to wait a few months after release to see which one is most effective and has the fewest side-effects.
It you currently take a seasonal flu vaccine... Fill your boots. If you don’t, then don’t bother with this one either. Seasonal flu vaccines are for those at risk, not for those who are not at risk.
Apparently, Mr. Gates was the guest of the late Jeffrey Epstein on the pedo island.
This is enough to disqualify him from having any (ANY) position of trust, and from having any (ANY) input on public health.
NO EXEMPTION FOR YOU, BILL GATES!
A friend of my Mom’s took the swine flu vaccine, she collapsed from it..that is how bad a reaction she received from it, no way will I be taking this china made, bill gates approved “vaccine” if I get it I will take hydroxy/zing/zpack
Let the Steve Gate’s family take the first shots.
I’m sure he is.

MYGOSH !! A lot of people will refuse a vaccine (or medication) when there’s no knowledge of long-term impacts or how it will interact with other medications and vaccines. Maybe there’s some hope for civilization.
small pox
I’ll get one ONLY if my doc can guarantee it was not derived from embryonic stem cells either in the vaccine or in the testing of the vaccine. I will trust him because he is pro-life, goes to my church, and has (it seems) a dozen or so kids.
Before I accept the vaccine, I want to be tested to see if I already have the antibodies.
Oh, but didn’t you hear? It’s “unproven” that having had the virus affords immunity.
So goes the irrational logic of Covidiots.
Nailed it, you did.

You do realize the virus may mutate and you might not be immune to the mutated virus?
