Will you take the Covid19 shot?

   What say you, Briefers?

I haven't received a vaccine since I was a kid and got the measles shot. In all these years, I have not gotten the flu, pneumonia or anything else against which a vaccine exists.

I envision the situation, however, where it comes time for me to have a hip (or knee) replaced because the pain is just too unbearable, and the surgeon tells me that they are required - under penalty of losing their licenses and having the practice shuttered - to give me a COVID shot before they can do the surgery. That's not much of a choice. I also expect the government, especially if Biden/HeelsUp are in charge, to make proof of receiving the vaccine a condition of being permitted to board a flight or even to receive gubmint benefits, from Social Security to student loans.

No. I think it is going to prove to be more detrimental than beneficial.  I DO NOT TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT PERIOD.

I am a geezer.  I have no comorbid shit to deal with.  I ain't fat, I ain't got the sugars nor high blood pressure. I have the blood type the rona hates.....so i'll take my chances and live my life without a shot in the dark.  Give my dose to Obumer.

[roamer_1]

Flat nope.

[libertybele]

I wonder how many people are going to actually die from the vaccine?

Though not funny, maybe a few people would wake up.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Maybe. I need to read up on the safety and efficacy of it.

[Gefn]

Only if @corbe says so. Lol. 

[thackney]

When available for the general public, I will get the shot.  Not for humanity but for myself and my family.

Same. As I said before, being in the far back of the line I have the benefit of waiting and seeing, but I'm desperate enough to get back to normal socializing that I will seriously consider it.

The vaccine won't get anything back to "normal."  King Fauchi has already decreed masks, Social Distancing and business closings must continue for another year, longer if there's a new strain.

Now that the leftists have gotten a taste, masks and such are here forever.  Suck it up,  infidel.

IMHO medical marijuana/CBD oil, or some really good pot will probably work far better than any vaccine and is a heck of a lot better for the body and the immune system.

   From first hand experience I know that when I'm Stoned I don't think about Covid, Stolen Elections or much of anything except Sexy Woman and Doritos.

There you go....mind over matter and keeping positive thoughts....works much better then dwelling on the negative....the mind can cure.

Wingnut...
I have the blood type the rona hates.

I missed this.  What blood type does COVID not like?   Literally, folks are not getting it with this blood type?

Perhaps you heard, Azar is planning to get the Moderna vaccine.  I suggest his inside knowledge may mean something.

I have no intention to get it.  My wife is ready to get it, and I have pleaded with her to hold off.  She anticipates getting deployed on COVID again for the month of February, so she will most likely be required to get it.  She has been inspecting nursing homes.  Holding off until the end of January will tell us a little bit about the reactions to the vaccine.

I am 67, have zero health conditions, and I seldom get viruses.  So, I am inclined not to get it unless it is required.  I have a cruise booked for the end of 2021.  I can see the cruise industry requiring the vaccine.

[mountaineer]

Jafo, people with type O are less likely to get the rona.

[mystery-ak]

Husband had his first shot last week..no side affects

[sneakypete]

Nope. Too late for me. Already have the virus. Once I beat the virus there is no reason to take the shots.

Pretty much describes my situation as well. Only tetanus shots in the last few years and one shot of a pneumonia vaccine. No flu shots and no flu. rarely (like maybe one a decade) a cold. No thanks. If I haven't already had it (which I suspect), I still don't want the vaccine, and if I have, I'll go with the antibodies God gave me.

[Gefn]

It’s weird. I always pictured our members younger than me. Late forties.

Now with people calling themselves words like ‘geezer” I have to think you all are a bit older. It’s strange.

The epiphanies you get at 6 am in the morning. 



And thanks to @corbe i want Doritos and coffee for breakfast.

[thackney]

I had the impression most were older.  I'm 55.

[bigheadfred]

Why aren't they working on a covid3 vaccine?

[Lando Lincoln]

Sheesh, haven’t you heard?  There’s no plan. Papa Joe is gonna fix that.
