A Statement About Wearing Mask

[fmdog44]

If you saw 60 Minutes last night you saw a leading expert in infectious disease asked "What would you rather have a vaccine or a mask?" She replied, "A mask.'

 

[Pepper]

I saw other 'leading experts' say that too.

Same here. The way a vaccine is being rushed into availability, and the political BS that has surrounded this virus, I'm not in any hurry to get a shot. Once millions have been vaccinated...without a rash of new side effects...we will think about getting it. In the interim, we will wear a mask, and stay away for crowds.

 

[PopsnTuff]

Same for me Don......

 

[Aunt Bea]

I'll take both.

Even if the vaccine is only 40-50% effective it improves the odds of survival for worn-out old people like me.

A mask for the rest of our days. This virus will keep mutating and crop up at different times of the year. It's like the common cold. Is there a vaccine for this?

 

[CarolfromTX]

I'll take the vaccine, thanks.

 

[Tommy]

Not really a valid question. Unless it's a properly used N95, a mask only helps to protect others from catching your virus. A vaccine helps to protect you from catching the other person's virus.

After reading some of the news about the way vaccines are being rushed into development, and the fact that Johnson & Johnson has suspended trials after a person developed an "unusual illness", I'll opt for the mask.

I would take the vaccine, but continue wearing a mask for the next 2 weeks. I received my high dose yearly vaccine today and the pharmacist told me that it takes about 10 days-2 weeks for full immunity effects that the vaccine has to offer. So, I thought about that on the way home and decided that if that’s the rule for the yearly dose, why shouldn’t it be for the new Virus?

My PMD said he would not take a rushed vaccine, even after his brother almost died from COVID and told him of it's horrors. So I know I'm not going to rush out and take it.
