    vaccines are generally inexpensive, and the generally best way to combat these sorts of public health issues

    What about the thousands of people who developed narcolepsy years after taking the swine flu vaccine in 2010.

    Thousands? where are you getting your numbers from?

    And no, these weren't cases that suddenly started appearing half a decade down the line either, they started almost as soon as the vaccine was being administered.

    Now f*** off

    i feel that, i mean i’m definitely not the most well versed in the field of vaccines, but i still think that the race for the first publicly available COVID one has the potential for problems

    You do understand these things are fairly extensively trialed, and at the moment I'm pretty sure the government are doing the Lionshare of the heavy lifting as per usual.

    Definitely not until it's been proven to have no side effects.

    all medications have side effects, there isn't a single one in existence that doesn't

    I don't think anything should be mandatory, but should be highly recommended for high risks groups.

    If you're highly susceptible, get vaccinated. If you choose not to get vaccinated, then be prepared to deal with the consequences. Easy.

  • Jul 18, 2020

    Oh ok op I get what you’re saying,

    I do feel they are rushing. Tbh things won’t get back to our normal life until 2022. So we got ways to go.

    The best thing is continue to be safe and cautious of everyone.

    I know the whole rushing to get a vaccine is scary. The virus itself keeps transforming.

    yeah but i don’t particularly trust government (or private companies for that matter) when it comes to medicine when it’s on a time crunch / rushed timeline.

    not saying there is some devious plot, just saying i don’t trust the quality control standards in the case of a COVID vaccine, when everyone is rushing to release one. i’m sure even governments want to rush one out “to be the first”

    For covid no, unless there’s something life threatening/debilitating that comes with getting covid(I’m talking about polio levels of life threatening/debilitating).

    And isn’t covid mutating? Wouldn’t that mean we’d have to get vaccinated for all types? Or would it be like the flu shot where there’s a seasonal vaccine?

    And didn’t WHO say asymptomatic people are less likely to spread the virus?

    And doesn’t the virus go from species to species? Which could cause a greater potential for mutation? Could a vaccine protect us against that?

    This rushing for a vaccine seems odd, especially since other countries beat it and is going back to business as usual.

    I’m definitely not getting it until I can get answers for all the questions I asked.

    Only reason their rushing for a vaccine for covid is that people have built a high level of fear towards it, and their assuming many won’t be comfortable to consume as per normal without a vaccine.

  • Jul 18, 2020

    Not when they first become available because there hasn't been much testing

    But when there's sufficient research that has been done than I think a fine for not taking the vaccine would be a good measure imo

    There are plenty of vaccines for COVID that are being tested right now, rushed? Maybe, but at the same time the most telling results will come from the people who participated in Phase I (which was in March). So far for the Moderna vaccine, every single person in that phase has produced an immune response and created antibodies.

    There is a reason that they're doing trials right now, if they didn't that vaccine would be out right now

  • Jul 18, 2020

    the people who choose to not vaccinate willingly put themselves at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease, and that is their choice. if they catch it, they will spread it to other unvaccinated people (who also made that choice), and the people who are vaccinated will not catch it.

    No, some people are not able to get vaccinated (for example those with autoimmune diseases, etc). The notion that it would only affect those who deliberately choose to not get vaccinated is false. If you can get vaccinated, you should get vaccinated.

    OK OK

    Only reason their rushing for a vaccine for covid is that people have built a high level of fear towards it, and their assuming many won’t be comfortable to consume as per normal without a vaccine.

    That’s my biggest issue with this virus

    Media outlets (cnn especially) have a whole part of their screen dedicate to showing only the total number of cases and deaths worldwide and in the US. However, they don’t show the total of people who has recovered.

    Now I get why they do this but I think people would be a lot more hopeful if they saw that of the total number of confirmed cases over 50% of people recovered and about 4% died.
