He may be on his way out but thank god Donald Trump invented this vaccine
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I dont have a Twitter account or use it normally; but I have been checking out Trump's Twitter page recently. It's absolutely mental. Still hard to believe he is the (soon to be removed) leader of a major nation.

No the vaccine shouldn't be compulsory in my opinion. I don't see why it needs to be either quite honestly.

I don't think anybody who refuses to take it would derail any chance of normality, nor do I believe we will ever return to normality. I think from now on, you will see people with masks on in supermarkets whenever they have an illness, even if it's not Covid related anyway.

Unless it directly impacts my daily life, then I'd probably get it, but I don't see why I would.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason you should is so that you don't pass it on to someone vulnerable who dies from it.
A jolly good reason imo

That’s what he wants. He couldn’t care less about the presidency or the USA..he just craves the spotlight

I would imagine that a vast amount of resources and man hours have been thrown into development of these vaccines.Far more than development of other vaccines that take longer in time but use far fewer resources and man hours.
------------------------------------------------------
So what about the non-variables that go into producing a vaccine?

For instance, do you know what goes into a vaccine to make it a vaccine? Tonnes of material goes into each vaccine, most of this is biological, which has to be grown. No matter how many workers you put on the job, you can't speed that up all that easily, or even all that safely.

At this stage, I won't be getting any vaccine. Who knows what vaccine will be developed. I'd like to give it at least another year if not two or more, to see what else comes out about it. I understand those who need the vaccine, the elderly and vulnerable, but I wouldn't want to put myself at risk with the initial vaccine.

If the elderly and vulnerable, the one's most likely to die from the disease, are the first to receive the vaccine and the vaccine is successful, then they are immune, for at least a certain amount of time anyway.

Rather than research the subject, look into my concerns and discuss them with someone qualified, I'm going to make a decision not to have the vaccine based on my very limited knowledge of the subject and then tell everyone on the Internet about my decision.

Peak 2020.

Only until such a time as the virus mutates. So long as enough people refuse to take the virus, herd immunity won't occur and the virus will adapt in order to survive

But you don't mind possibly putting others at risk by possibly contacting covid and passing it on to your family or strangers.

Fair enough you've made your point,pretty selfish one but you've made it.

Vulnerable people will be the first who get the vaccine though.

For young, healthy people then there really isn't much need to rush out and get vaccinated.

MU52, you may or may not remember that an early Polio vaccine caused paralysis and deaths when rolled out.

Everyone knows about the thalidomide vaccine.

That is why a healthy, young person - and especially pregnant women - should be cautious about heading to the front of the queue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I do indeed remember, they were horrific. But compared to the number of lives saved, negligable. Of course to the ones invoved tragic.
But it's similar to the people who would never wear a seat belt, and point to an accident where a fire killed the driver because his belt was jammed; (did this ever happen by the way). While ignoring the hundreds of lives safed.

A nice passive aggressive comment.

I have a degree in Clinical Sciences studied at the Uni of Bradford. But thanks for letting me know about my limited knowledge pal.

The on going argument about 95% safe is wrong.

the 95% figure is the effectiveness of the vaccine.

i.e only 5% of the sample caught covid after having the jab.

I have more of a concern about the fact that the Pizer vaccine needs to be stored at -70 degrees.

How would it be possible to get this distributed and administered?

Who am I putting at risk if the elderly/vulnerable are first to receive the vaccine?

I also said I won't be getting the initial vaccine, not that I wouldn't get it at all depending on further developments.

Sorry my poor wording, 95% effective not safe, I was thinking of 2 different sentences at the same time.

Either way, my point stands, 95% effective is not enough for me, personally, to warrant getting a vaccine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Just admit you got it wrong ffs!

This sums up the debate for me. People going out there saying it's not 100% safe.

This is why the media needs to close this debate off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I literally did by saying "my poor wording" and then corrected myself, do you get some sort of buzz out of you not being wrong or other people having to say they're wrong.

Why is that an issue? If it was 100% safe, which it never would be, I probably wouldn't get it either. As far as I am aware, I personally have no reason to be vaccinated at this moment in time, so why would I do it on something that has taken less than 12 months to develop, when it takes somewhere in the region of 10 years to correctly develop a vaccine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would protect other people, that's your reason

The long term known side effects of alcohol and tobacco are more of a danger than the possible, but unlikely, side effects of a vaccine.

Anybody here that's bought recreational drugs from some bloke he knows in a dodgy boozer is taking a far greater risk than a vaccine.

I got "Iridium" as a pointless answer whilst playing pointless last night. I know this element because Barney from the Simpsons includes it in his song when he stops drinking and does cartwheels before has was going to go into space. Sometimes what is more important than university education, is education from the university of LIFE.
