I think frontline persons should get it first (nurses, doctors, police officers, health workers), then the rest of the population would eventually get it within the year.

They were sounding unwilling at first then a covid death of a distant family member made them realize this is not a game.

I agree dude. I'm relatively young and healthy (so likely mild or asymptomatic), but I work with two older guys one of whom is diabetic. Plus I see my parents and elderly neighbor often enough.
I do not want to be the one who brings an early death to any of them due to carelessly spreading covid. My mom's friend died at 62 (male) from covid months ago. My friend's dad in NY died as well at 71. A friend who is only 47 had covid in August and she still can't walk upstairs without feeling exhausted (she used to do crossfit prior to this).
So covid-19 isn't a joke.
And to be honest, I'm totally fed up with restrictions and masks. I just want things back to normal because living like this has been depressing as hell for me.
The more people 'wait and see' the more long term restrictions, economic impacts, mental health decline, and impacts on education we'll suffer.
Do the right thing and take the vaccine. Once it's not the Chinese or Russian vaccine you can be reliably sure it's safe long-term.

What if the vaccine is 99% effective but has that one side effect after 2 years where it makes you extremely susceptible to developing a type of cancer? Or worse, maybe kill d coco? How will we know? I'll hang back at least two years before considering taking a vaccine of any type.shake d livin wake d dead wrote:I like to travel but i wont be doing that in a hurry. Having the vaccine may very well be a pre-requisite for travelling....HOWEVER...this is one vaccine where Im gonna wait a while...as sins said, expect a list of side effects
Technological advancements have significantly reduced the possibility of chronic side-effects. However, this is of course with adequate clinical trials and testing. 6 months to one year is not enough time for me personally. But when the world becomes desperate (which it has), shorter trial times suddenly become acceptable.Dohplaydat wrote:So if everyone adopts this wait and see approach, then who do you expect would be lining up for it?
Isn't that selfish of you? Modern vaccines have a minuscule chance (like a one in a million) of not having any long-term side effects.
Also, if long term side effects are your concern then how long will you wait? Remember tens of thousands of persons have already been through the trials, possibly more by now.
The entire point of all these phase 3 trials was to look for high-risk side effects to which there were none.
So again, why wait?

Nevertheless I'm glad that you are of this opinion. Go forth and take one as soon as it is available. If after two years you're good with no health issues, I'll consider being next in line. If you end up with cancer or ded cocolooks then I glad it wasn't me.
