I'm tired of assholes ruining my country.

to be sure all the bugs have been worked out.

how this administration puts wolves in charge of the hen-houses.

I have an autoimmune disease and react to shots.

I will discuss with my doctor before deciding on whether it is safe for me or not. My doctor years ago told me I could not get the shot for Shingles because it was a live virus several years ago. Now that they came out with a new vaccine a couple years ago that is not a live virus, I will get it.

I think they are rushing this vaccine and am worried about it’s safety. I am not against vaccines by any means, but I will listen to my doctor and see what she advises.

I am exhibit A that you don't want to get shingles, I have been fighting a case of them (on my face) for three months.

They are not "modified live" nor even a killed virus. The vaccine has fragments of the messenger RNA and is counting on your body making antibodies to the protein.

Many of us won't get it right away either, because we feel Trump is rushing it to look good. I prefer to wait a little.

wouldn't serve the pharmaceutical companies to release a vaccine which wasn't effective or had safety issues

The other thing to note is that this vaccine is NOT a live vaccine. I would be a hell of a lot more hesitant about taking the vaccine if it was a live vaccine. The far bigger risk I believe is the lack of effectiveness of the vaccine, and as a result a false sense of security where people would become complacent too quickly

Peer review is a very important part of this

Hydroxychloroquine was peered reviewed, and put to sleep relatively quickly the lack of effectiveness

I believe that is the measure that will indicate the probability of its value

Regardless, if and when a vaccine is released, the biggest risk I believe will be those who believe they do not have to bother with masks or social distancing after the vaccine is released. The odds are against that it will be 90% or greater effective.

We will be very lucky if it is 75% effective

of providing care for non-vac "believers", with no liability attached, just like the Refukkkers
want for employers with no sense of decency

Fine. More for the rest of us.

Most of the people who didn't want to take it was because they thought it will have been rushed out for political, not scientific, reasons, and they would reconsider after it had been out "a while" (meaning well after trump and his agency toadies are gone.)

any rushed vaccine put out by this administration, after seeing how Trump has put lackeys in charge of everything AND how he seems to be able to make even famous doctors cower in front of him. There's no way to trust this administration to get anything right.

That said, once reasonable and non-crazy people are in charge, I'll happily get vaccinated.

I would not trust any vaccine that comes from his administration.

Doctors, nurses, etc will get it first. If there are side effects, they'll display them.

live vaccine.

Those who are arguing that trump is rushing this vaccine do not seem to grasp that it isn't trump's decision. The vaccines in clinical trials will be peer reviewed, and trump is NOT part of that peer review

The peer review regarding hydroxychloroquine demonstrated it was NOT effective, and that trump is an idiot. That some choose to believe trump over the scientific community, is their lack of critical thinking

The biggest problem I see with the vaccine is that it will not be as effective as people think, and they will become complacent

That tech is a bit new for my taste.

They’re a whole new type of vaccine

If an mRNA vaccine was approved for coronavirus, it would be the first of its type. ‘It's a very unique way of making a vaccine and, so far, no (such) vaccine has been licenced for infectious disease,’ said Prof. Bekeredjian-Ding.

Pfizer, Oxford, and Moderna

And Dr. Fauchi says its okay.

And if other countries or WHO approve it outside of Trump's influence

reputable medical journal. The contract to Kodak (no experience in pharm manufacturing) concerns me.

ANY vaccine that has ANYTHING to do with the trump administration.

I will only take a vaccine vetted by the EU and approved as safe for use outside the United States.

Ive always believed that there will be a vaccine rolled out shortly before the election. Trump needs a vaccine. Rushed, forced out enough before the election to convince his voters its safe to show up and he saved them, but late enough that any safety or efficacy failures wont become blindingly apparent until after people have voted.

A vaccine that shows up in october is not a Vaccine I will be eager to get.

A vaccine that shows up in a less politicized timeline, and with good evidence reasonable safety and efficacy testing backing it, I very much look forward to. I can wait in line for medical professionals and other front line workers, but Id be happier to have it sooner than later.

The MAGA anti-vaxers will be confused. Do they trust their Dear Leader enough to flip their long held beliefs that vaccines are a government plot to kill them?

But then again, never underestimate the ability of Trump cultists at hypocrisy. "As long as Donny says its safe"

Those sort are either voting for him or not for other reasons, their votes are not in question.

An early untested vaccine is aimed at john q grandpa who wants to see his family and hang out with his friends, and jane q mommy who wants her kids safe but back to school so she can go to work.

Yup, exactly and it is SO amusing.

they will not
One woman said she'd be afraid it was bleach

My sense is that I would prefer to be neither the first, nor the last, to get vaccine. I plan to look at the information available on safety and efficacy and obtain my vaccination based on the information I get. It amazes me the utter stupidity of the Trumplican Party.

I had a conversation with an anti-vaxxer about this a few months ago.

She said - if YOU have the vaccine, why do you care if I don't?

So, supposedly, they would only spread the virus to each other, and not to those of us who get the vaccine.

Darwin at work.

I would want to make sure none of them were health-care workers in the obstetrics ward.

But I've heard that it may never even be close to that. Maybe even only a 50% protection.

The right wingers I know think Bill Gates will use it to control their minds. Really!!!!
