Love the zombie tangents, but the thread is getting pretty close to the poll that was shut down...

Sounds like at least Biden and Pence are getting it. I agree it would help a lot of people have their mind at least seeing world leaders, actors, athletes, pharma execs getting it etc.I am personally very fearful of this vaccine. To develop confidence in this vaccine before my family lines up I would like to see the leaders of this country in medicine, politics, entertainment, sports and social media, etc.,etc., post up on their accounts and give some feedback on how things are going for them after receiving both rounds of shots.If Pence, Pelosi, Biden, Harris, Gates,Hillary,Fauci, etc,etc are really wanting to get the country all aboard it’s time to lead by example, bipartisanship and unity, ya know!
Not directly related to you post, but I think it is interesting that many in the medical field are on board to take the vaccine in terms of safety and efficacy and there were ~75K volunteers in the clinical trials who have taken it and whose experiences we could draw from.Sounds like at least Biden and Pence are getting it.

But let's be honest few will show any of that leadership.
I get mine tomorrow too!I’m with you brother, and I’ll be getting my injection as soon as I go back to work on Friday.

I agree with you. But those people that are high profile (especially people like Trump, Pence, Biden, Harris etc) would be able to hit a lot of exposure to people that don't know or care about a MD that they don't know on TV getting the vaccination.Not directly related to you post, but I think it is interesting that many in the medical field are on board to take the vaccine in terms of safety and efficacy and there were ~75K volunteers in the clinical trials who have taken it and whose experiences we could draw from.
And yet many are looking to politicians, actors, and professional athletes as our barometer. Frankly, they are the LAST people in our society that I would look to for direction on this sort if thing, or anything in general.
I don't think the data on efficacy is any good for either one of them. They both just vaccinated a bunch of people and gave placebo to others. Kept track of Covid infections in both groups. That isn't a strong data set by a long ways. When they "rush" these products to market they are far more concerned with safety than they are with efficacy. So far, both have proven to be very safe in the short term. Long term, as well as real efficacy remains to be seen with both. Pfizer doesn't exactly have the best record with safety.Moderna’s data is pretty good, but Pfizer’s is definitely better.
And then the background which you addressed makes me a lot happier to be getting the Pfizer variety. I’m curious how much disclosure there will be when vaccines become available to the general public. Certainly to people who ask, but how many will?
Pence and Biden and Harris have all committed to getting it publicly.I agree with you. But those people that are high profile (especially people like Trump, Pence, Biden, Harris etc) would be able to hit a lot of exposure to people that don't know or care about a MD that they don't know on TV getting the vaccination.
It could mean 10s of thousands or more people getting it that may not have otherwise.
Covid has show to be more stable than flu. And no mutations at this point have been shown to be enough to make a vaccine ineffective.is there any data on how the covid vaccine will handle slight mutations, or is this going to be another flu vaccine that has to be taken every year?
You haven't missed anything - I'm just forecasting (I know - danger). When I caught myself wanting to repeat several of my posts from the prior thread, it caught my attention. Sharing the experiences is very valuable, but the "I'm going to/not going to" followed by "and your analysis is [insert less than deferential way of disagreeing]" is heating up. Hopefully since we've been asked and see that you are watching intently, it will stay cool.what'd I miss?
Just watching for the know-it-all-close-minded-all-conspiracies-are-true-my-uncle-used-to-deliver-mail-to-a-doctor-name caller to post but haven't seen him?
I thought so far so good.
But do miss posts on occasion
That's the biggest question. What will end up being worse, risks of longterm vaccine issues? Or the longterm issues from contracting COVID? So far I am thinking I will take the vaccine. Enough has been documented now of people with heart, lung, and neurologic issues from COVID that I will risk the vaccine instead. Especially by the time it gets to be my turn millions of people will have taken the vaccine and the initial group will be nearing the 1 year mark.So far, both have proven to be very safe in the short term. Long term, as well as real efficacy remains to be seen with both.
I’m sure they’ll happily take a dose of saline in the armPence and Biden and Harris have all committed to getting it publicly.
Obama, Clinton, and Bush are all going to televise themselves getting it.
Have trouble with numbers, heh?Your logic is very flawed.
If people "need" to see some celebrity or government figure getting the vaccine in order to decide whether to get it, then they are pretty useless in thinking and functioning for themselves, and that's a pretty sad state of affairs in America.It could mean 10s of thousands or more people getting it that may not have otherwise.
Got a bunch of knots all over. They would only cut out one at a time. After 30 plus visits and some gut issues I got out just as quick as I could.I'll get the vaccine when it's available to regular folks. I had the virus in early March, it was fairly easy to get over, and I don't have any lasting effects that I'm aware of yet. It wouldn't be worst thing for me personally just to get a little sick once a year and not have to worry about it any more. BUT, I don't want to be the guy spreading it to others who may not get through it so smoothly. So I'll take the shot. With all the stuff I had injected in me in the military, it just seems unlikely this will be the shot that gets me.
On that subject, someone mentioned Anthrax vaccines were dangerous? I had a handful of rounds of that stuff, what's the story?
No if dude. That's reality. And agree it's sad.If people "need" to see some celebrity or government figure getting the vaccine in order to decide whether to get it, then they are pretty useless in thinking and functioning for themselves, and that's a pretty sad state of affairs in America.
