How brave/courageous are you for testing a vaccine?

[Kayelle]

The good news this morning is they are looking for up to 60,000 people as guinea pigs or heroes, depending on how you see it. Human testing is a mandatory requirement without question, but my question is..

1. Would you be a volunteer if you could, and why or why not?

2. How would you feel about someone you loved willing to do it?

 

[CarolfromTX]

Yes, I think I'd volunteer, certainly would If I were younger. No as sure about someone I love doing it. And once they come out with a vaccine, I'll be first in line.

 

[Becky1951]

I would not. But do respect anyone who would. I will not get the vaccine until its been proven safe for those with preexisting health disorders.

 

[JaniceM]

I'd definitely volunteer.. when it was on the news last night, I did wonder where they find volunteers.
The reason: it could save lives, and save people from horrible illness.

But I wouldn't want any of my family members to do it.
Reason: I'd be willing to risk my own life, but not theirs.

 

[Keesha]

Would I volunteer to be tested?
No! I’m not fond of the idea of being tested and certainly won’t volunteer for it. Sometimes the results were wrong, which has apparently happened many times. No. Not interested.

 

[Kayelle]

I've been thinking a lot about this.
I only see the testing useful if they include vaccine testing on those who have been careless about avoiding the virus, and continue to do so.

Where are those insane party goers making a game of trying to get the virus? They could be useful now.

Well, that thought won't work either because people like that are too self absorbed and stupid to give a flip about a vaccine.

To answer my own questions, no I'm not brave enough to be a hero. I hate to admit that.
I wouldn't want to have a loved one do it either.

 

[C'est Moi]

I would not volunteer. I would not like for any of my loved ones to volunteer. I do not plan to be vaccinated when the vaccine is available.

 

[Lakeland living]

No I would not, trimming the time line as much as it has been trimmed, Now they are pumping it through as fast as possible.
Won't be taking that vaccination anytime soon.

 

[Gaer]

I won't even use a product until it's been on the market for at least a few years.
I take no medications or pills ever.
Doubt very much I would ever take that vaccination.

 

[Duster]

NOPE. I don't believe that vaccines work according to the "THEORY" they push.
Bet you haven't seen this:
Four Ukrainian Soldiers Died After Having the American COVID-19 Vaccine Tested on Them
July 18, 2020Stalker Zone
In the Kharkov region, four UAF soldiers died after testing the American COVID-19 vaccine. This was reported by the press officer of the People’s Militia of the LPR Aleksandr Mazeikin.

According to the LPR, in the Kharkov region American virologists are testing a vaccine against the COVID-19 coronavirus. 15 people were selected for the tests, including 10 Ukrainian servicemen. During the research, 8 subjects were transferred to the emergency department, and three of them were supported by artificial ventilation devices.

“Emergency doctors fighting for the lives of patients could not provide them with the necessary assistance, as they did not have information about the composition of the injected injections. As a result, five patients, including four military personnel, died from complications caused by infection,” Mazeikin said, quoting a source.

[Ruthanne]

No, I would not volunteer or be a hero but do have the utmost respect and admiration for those that do. God bless them!

Its a horrible thing to say, and even to think, but as drug testing is sometimes offered to prisoners, along with financial incentives, and this Covid 19 is such a threat in a confined environment, this could provide a way of "producing volunteers" for the first vaccine tests.

I think I would trust a vaccine, "early on" in the validation and safety testing programme, but maybe not the initial trials for some obvious reasons, age, overweight, etc. (quite a catch hey! ).

 

[Gaer]

HI DUSTER!!!!

 

[Lewkat]

No. It takes several years of refining for a vaccine to be considered safe, so the tests must be voluntary and I am not a volunteer.

Actually that's not a bad idea at all, as long as it's voluntary. Financial incentives for prisoners might go a long way for those who care about the families they no longer can provide for. Not a bad idea at all if they have that opportunity to do some good.

What on earth is that website you linked? Is that Russian propaganda or what? "The Stalker Zone?" Why would American virologists be working in the Karkhov region on a vaccine?

I wondered the same things.

I always thought they used prisoners for this kind of stuff also so there's no need to ask civilians unless something has changed.

 

[StarSong]

I doubt they're accepting volunteers among people in high risk groups, including people over 60.

With all due respect I don't believe one word of this story because it would have been plastered all over the world if true. I can't fine it anywhere.

I'll pass.

You may not be brave enough to be this kind of hero, but I am sure you are brave enough to be a hero under different circumstances. And no, with my long list of pre-existing I would not do this. Would I do it if I had no pre-existing conditions? Nope.

Just as with the flu shot, shingles shot, pneumonia shot, someone else can have mine.

I would recommend the shingles shot for sure. I really wanted that one and got it. . My mother had the singles, so much pain. Hope you don’t get the shingles.

I did get Shingles 38 years ago. That won't convince me that the shot is useful or safe.
