Current Affairs Covid-19 Vaccine would you take it?

[Tipp blue]

A rushed vaccine is not always safe, swine flu vaccine caused narcolepsy among other side effects. I will get the vaccine when available but just read an article that a third of Irish adults said they wouldn't get it.

I think as long as 2/3 do get the vaccine it creates herd immunity, no?

I think that's around the mark, but you'd have to assume that alot of those who said they wouldn't take it, also wouldn't have their children take it. So the figure would be a less than 66%.

Absolutely.

I'm not saying anyone who doesn't is a complete idiot, but I sure am thinking it loudly.

Once again,
Covid-19 is not an influenza.

I disagree, I completely understand the people who have doubts about a rushed vaccine.

It wont stop me taking it, but still.

-something something autism, chemtrails, bill gates is an evil overlord pedo or something

Think that covers most of the utter idiotic conspiracies related to vaccines... Yes, I will be getting it as soon as I realistically can.

I’m not anti vax or anything like that (I had my flu jab in winter). But suffered badly from side effects to antibiotics last year which might make me a bit wary of a rushed vaccine (I know not exactly the same thing). I would have a good think about it before taking it

 

[Grinch]

Not bothered by a vaccine. Unless they tell me I can’t go into a bar or sporting event, could care less

Sure thing. Anything to reduce my chance of unwittingly passing a dose of covid to my lovely wife and her lovely comorbidities.

Not even remotely the same thing

I got sick from fish once. Made me wary of broccoli.

Thing is the science part of this isn’t rushed. They aren’t skipping steps in the testing.

Vaccines aren’t new. There has already been work on vaccines for coronaviruses. This speeds it up a bit.

It is rushed in that it is a priority. The usual lag between trials is gone. No corporate decision about whether it will make enough money to move research forward, etc. All the usual red tape is gone.

Additionally, even though the vaccine is still in trials, companies are already mass producing it so that as soon as it is cleared by FDA/UK equivalent, it can be put on the market. Huge financial risk that would otherwise not happen. Honestly this last part is huge in speeding things up

And when it has unforseen side effects whats the excuse then?

Can you name some vaccines that have serious proven side effects?
