No way in hell I'm letting anyone put that vaccine in me until a lot of other people have had it and a couple years have passed and lots more studies have been done. They don't know anything about long-term effects. I'd rather risk the virus tbh.

I sort of expected this reaction from Barrabas. This debate though is definitely worth exploring because I've heard concerns from a few of my friends about this as well.

Your friends must be really smart people!

I myself haven't yet decided which way to go because I do not know all the details of the vaccine. Once I know more details I'll be better equipped to take a decision.

My God, I don’t understand anti Vaxxers at all.

Its not about understanding the anti Vaxxers in general but every medicine has it own effects/side effects and as of now we know that this one works 90% on COVID but not many further details are outlined yet.

So many anti vaxxers will take literally any other drug it’s so stupid.

Plenty of people HAVE taken the vaccine, good God. If it gets FDA approved there is nothing to worry about.

I'm not taking a vaccine that's been tested for like 6 months when I already have like a 99.9% survival rate

I'm not an "anti vaxxer", I have all my vaccines and if I ever have kids I will make sure they do as well. I also just got my flu shot. I'm simply a little cautious about a vaccine developed, tested and approved in what, eight months? when it typically takes years. I will let others be the guinea pigs.

The speed does not logically matter if they use the same criteria for approval. We’ve never had the medical technology we do now.

I still would prefer if there were people walking around who took it 50 years ago and have no long term impact

Do you think all the vaccines/medications you have taken thus far have no causalities or that ALL OF THEM have been tested for past 50+ years?

Um, only like 4000 people have taken the vaccine. Could be even less.

Anyone telling you that they can guarantee the safety of a medical product after 6 months is kidding themselves. It's not for nothing that procedures usually take years, including a very long observation phase.

There have been treatments in the past such as stilbestrol that for years were thought to be harmless and that ended up later having consequences on the offspring of those who took it.

You have to weigh the risk-benefit ratio, and clearly if you are young and in good health it's not worth it.

This.

That’s untrue, over 30,000 have.

No, the rest were part of the trial and received a placebo.

It was half and half I’m pretty sure

You'd be brainless to get in line for a vaccine so early. Certainly not for Covid.

What’s so risky about a vaccine that’s been tested on tens of thousands of people?

Because it hasn't been tested for someone's whole life. The only thing we know is how many side effects they have after 5-6 months of taking it. Not to mention if it's 30,000 people that's not very big sample size in my opinion.

20k split up just by men and women is only 200 people per state. And that’s before all the demographics, race, etc are taken into account

By the time a vaccine has been around for someone’s whole life, the virus will either be gone or mutated to a strain not worth vaccinating for.

So if we’re not waiting for a vaccine to stop this garbage lifestyle, what are we waiting for then?

Old people should take the vaccine. For young people who have 99.9% survival rate it's pointless.

I think it's just a number game, if the vaccine would ensure a 100% immunity there should be no reason not to get it, but if the risk of side effects is greater than 0.1% it would negate that.
