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.

One of the vaccines contains aborted baby cells... NO WAY
I dont take flu shot either.
Hydrocloroquine +Zpac +Zinc works far better, faster, and cheaper than any other other option. Thats the way I will go if needed.
Yes, but can you get a prescription for prophylaxis even when you don’t have CoVid-19?
Quercitin is also an ionophore-works with zinc. You can get it over the counter. Take some Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C too.
That’s what the Dr. on Med Cram takes as prophylaxis and he is taking care of Whu Hoo Flu patients.
You do realize the virus may mutate and you might not be immune to the mutated virus?

Certainly, that may happen. You may step in front of a bus tomorrow. Does that mean you shouldn’t cross the street?
