Getting the Vaccine?

[~ / % ? *]

So the UK is rolling out the Pfizer/BioNTech SE vaccine today. Is anybody here getting it? 



Those over 80 years old, nursing-home workers and other high-risk health-care staff were front of the line: a group estimated to number six million. The rollout is being paid for by the U.K.’s state-funded National Health Service and modeled on its annual flu-vaccination campaign.

I'm not an anti-vaxer by any means, but I don't feel good about this vaccine. I'm going to have to get it, because it is required at my job, but it was rushed, there are no long term studies about side effects, and I don't want my kidneys to shut down in a few years because of it. I wouldn't get it if keeping my job didn't depend on it.

I think Ray is the only one eligible for it.

If you told my parents or my grandparents who welcomed the polio and measles vaccines that people were wary regarding this pandemic, they'd be incredulous.

This vaccine is different than other vaccines and was one of the reasons it was developed so quickly. Because of the way it was created, it could also stem further pandemics.

Believe me, pharmaceutical companies have a ton to lose in reputation and potential civil and criminal liability before they put forth a drug to the FDA for testing and approval.

I'll take it as soon as I can.

Aye i'm gonna take it. The amount of hoops etc these folks have to jump through to get something passed is suppose to be crazy. Though the cynic in me says sometimes money to the right person helps too. However i'll be in line for it.

I've never been one to turn down narcotics.

Oh I'll be injecting this bad boy right into the large vein on my penis.

Why go for the smallest vein on your body? The thrill of the pressure to find it?

What is this Bill Gates conspiracy? I've seen a lot of normally coherent people mention it.

I definitely have those concerns, but I heard this the other day, and the researcher explains the protocols required and being fulfilled are the same as the vaccines for measles, polio, and not the yearly flu.

To understand how to combat anti-vaccination sentiment, we have to understand how the misinformation virus spreads. And to understand that, we have to first know where it has resided from birth. Brandy Zadrozny, an investigative reporter at NBC News covering misinformation online, has spent years tracking the contagion. This week, Zadrozny explains to Bob how what began with a debunked study has spread all across Facebook — and why the social media company's efforts to shut down major anti-vaccine pages might be too little, too late.

I don't know just where I'm going,
But I'm gonna try for the vaccine if I can,
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a gran

I vaguely remember some pharma type scientist saying that sometimes cures are found accidently. They might be looking for the cure to diarrhea but end up with a cure for eczema, as they find out things through the process. So, one of the reasons for the speed of it could be, that they used previous research for something else and found it was applicable to covid.
