Who Won't Opt For The Vaccine

I saw today 36% of America's healthcare workers will not take the vaccine and about 42% of the Americans will not take it either. I'm curious about the healthcare workers if they can be fired for not taking it if it is approved. The British are of the same opinion. I had a video of the British but it is "No longer available"
 

I'll take it when it's available through my PCP or local pharmacy.

I don't really feel comfortable going through some sort of mass inoculation involving lines of people being treated by a bunch of tired bored worn-out people that are just trying to get through the day.

Well, since, every year, we get the Senior Double Dose, and feel extremely good about getting it, will get the "19" vaccine when it comes out. We just don't, and won't, take any chances!

I had a bad flu bug once, along with a spot of pneumonia on one lung. Coughed my ever-loving butt off and told my wife "I feel like I'm going to die". I didn't get the Senior Flu Shot that year. Never again will I go without it. As my VA doctor told me, "even with getting the Senior shot, you can still get the flu, but it won't be nearly as bad as it would be without having the shot."

As far as side affects go, there can be side affects from any kind of OTC med or prescription med..........any kind. But, someway/somehow, America has to get this virus under control, OR do we want next Spring/Summer to be the exact same way this years was???? Do we want to be walking around the rest of our lives wearing masks? I surely hope not!
 
I feel the same about it as Warrigal. When my physician recommends it, I will enthusiastically take it. What is there to worry so much about? A few side effects? I'm willing to take that much of a risk in order to get my life back.

Of course, if it looks iffy, not well tested, potentially dangerous, etc., no one will take it. Before it's distributed to the public, it will have to be pretty thoroughly tested.

I feel the same as @Sunny and @Warrigal.

As the evidence mounts I'm moving from skepticism to relief. During the data scrutiny, scientists will likely determine which vaccine is safest and most effective for various groups of people, i.e, children, seniors, seniors with assorted underlying health conditions, obese people, etc.

My wife and I will not partake in a vaccine until there is plenty of testing and results. I just read on a running banner at the bottom of the TV, that health professionals are advising there may be unpleasant side effects. I don't know what they are or might be, but I have enough thumbs, thank you very much.

Headache and muscle soreness were 2 side effects. Apparently, some people have those side effects with the regular flu vaccine. I've only ever had muscle soreness at the site of the injection for 2-3 days.
 
I had a very unpleasant reaction from the first of the two shot shingles vaccine. It brought me to my knees for nearly a week, including two ER visits. Nevertheless I returned for the second shot. (Fortunately it produced a much lesser reaction). I opted in favor of the second shot because the risk of few days of a bad reaction was still preferable to the actual shingles. I'd seen close family and friends suffer with shingles and definitely DID NOT want to experience it first hand.

There is still much data to be crunched on the Covid vaccines. Until the scientists with decades of related schooling and related experience at the CDC, FDA, and other watchdog groups make their determinations, I will consider the jury to still be out. Because it will be.

When those findings come in I will weigh them along with English & German data reviews, plus the independent reviews promised by California & New York, as well as my doctor's recommendations.

As always, I will determinedly ignore the wackadoodles on YouTube who are looking for a moment in the sun.

What if people are taking other prescription drugs e.g blood pressure tablets. Would the vaccines interfere with those tablets? I was under the impression that the trials were carried out on 'healthy' individuals. Just a thought ☺️

Excellent point.

My guess is, testing of subjects with an array of different medications in them was not included in the study.

My way of thinking is, and from the standpoint of scientists behind the drug, let's get this thing developed and out NOW, and we'll worry about the small stuff (side-effects) later.
