Covid Vaccine ?

When it becomes readily available, will you guys/gals be first in line to get it ? Seems like this "might" fall into the category of the "first model" of a vehicle, lot's of bugs to be worked out ??

I don't have to worry about taking the vaccine, when covid see's me coming it runs the other way. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if covid caught me it wouldn't be holding much.

By the time health care professionals and long term care patients get it most of the bugs should have shown up so I may get it. But with all of this covid hype and misinformation I will still proceed with caution. I am still more distrustful of the government and the media than I am afraid of the virus. It is true that numbers don't lie but people lie and make up numbers. True it can be a deadly illness and I am sympathetic to those who have been very adversely affected by it but I have also known a number of people that have tested positive for it and had only mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. 

Not here. From what I have heard, this is not a true ‘vaccine’, it is an RNA. A true vaccine has a very small amount of a virus in it, then your body builds an immunity to the virus. An RNA does not do that, it only changes how your body reacts, after you contract the virus. The Wuhan virus will continue to spread with the use of RNA’s.

i'll prolly get it if it comes around here soon, i don't look to see it for a year or so. the stockholders all got the virus, but they fly all over and go to bars and resturants all the time. to bad they didn't.......

The RNA gives your body the instruction manual to start manufacturing antibodies. It manufactures those antibodies, it doesn't wait to see the virus before it does. When you have antibodies, you don't get the bug, don't build a viral load in your breath and fluids, don't infect other people by doing so, and they have the antibodies as well. Of course it stops the spread.

"True" vaccine (funny word there) also causes the body to manufacture antibodies, just by a different means. They do so by exposing your body to the virus, the RNA vaccine skips that step so to speak and just causes the manufacture of antibodies directly. The protection from the disease is the same mode of action: antibodies.

Tbone......... Lonn says them are Russian BOTS !  

Thanks for the replies, I'm just torn about the "LONG TERM" effects of a 7 month old "cure all" vrs. side effects a year or 2 down the road .

I'm guessing the wife will be mandated to get it (nurse), though the hospital hasn't announced policy yet. Thinking I'll get it too, I have a touch of asthma, but more so to not bring it home to my elderly parents, mom fighting cancer, Dad certainly doesn't need it either.

YEP.... makes you wonder WHY WE DIDNT START injections 4 WEEKS AGO !!  WHY did 4 companies wait till the DAY AFTER THE ELECTION to say they had success ?  and WHY WAIT another 6 weeks to get approval and ship !!!     ... MOVE ALONG.. NOTHING TO SEE HERE !!

What is the long term risk of vaccine for everyone over 70 years old ?   I dont think we have NO DATA... Seems like i read that they have 50,000 people on the  "test cases" so  there is some history. ........... like Gary said... Every week adds another MILLION or more to the "LIST".

I will probably get the vaccine next spring or summer.. I got a flu shot this year.. First time.. also go the pneumonia and shingles shots... I normally go to the doctor about once every 5 years, so not many problems.......... All that being said, if i was in Chitcago, NYC or LA and there were 1 MILLION people infected... I think i would like to see it distributed several weeks ago.. Many people in those places WOULD take it.... I really dont need it, right now... rural community and i really dont go too many places.

I also will be first in line when it's available. I already informed my Doc. to put me on the list. Have had the flu shot every year since they were available. Last time I had the flu was in the early ninety's. Can't  even remember the last time I had a cold. Also keep up with pneumonia and had shingles vaccination. I'll keep on doing what apparently works for me.

I am no probably never. I was at a doc in the box place to get medical card for the drives lienees, got talked up for a flu shot. My wife told me I was going to be sick, did not take her seriously. Three days latter it got me, my reaction was about the same as the real flu.
