The specific proteins used in this vaccine are new, but the mRNA technology and methodology has been around for years. It's been used for other virus' and in some cancer treatments.

Be a rebel and don’t get it at allI'm not much for notoriety, but I'd kind of like to be the last person getting the vaccine.

Oh, I get it. Your "jokes" are tired, old and not funny. Is that too the point enough for you? Did you learn those "jokes" in California?

Can anybody show me where it is mandatory to get the shots? I only read one item about a worker somewhere being fired for not getting vaccinated. There is no mandate that I know of, but might be for kids, just like it is now, if they want to attend public school.
I remember getting the sugar cube polio vaccination and being disappointed that they only gave me one cube!

Fair enough. Geez, I don't think I even know 100 people. I know 2-3 that have contracted it, and two were 17 year old water polo players who showed no symptoms. Maybe CA's restrictions played a part in that.
I've restricted my activity at least 90% for the past year, but now that I've gotten the shots I'm calling myself "good to go."
I think as commentary, whether you think the virus will kill you or cause horrific side effects is certainly one major component of whether you think you'll get the vaccine. However, if we really want to put the pandemic to bed, we really need a huge portion of the population to get vaccinated. The sooner we can keep the virus from transmitting on a mass scale, the better chance we have to keep it from mutating to something much deadlier.
I still think there's a yuge portion of the population that is scared of needles and that's the reason they say they don't trust it. After questioning several people as to why they don't trust it, I got them to admit as much. I really don't understand the reluctance to get a couple of shots that dissipate so quickly. BTW, I hate needles..

There is no mandate I've heard of. Pretty sure its illegal to mandate a vaccine. I know of a Police Department near me that only 4 officers out of 41 chose to get the shot. My SIL is an RN and refuses to get it. A lot of people dont want the experimental shot. Mandating it would be a World War.

The reluctance isn't that they are scared of needles, its that the "vaccine" want proven or tested thoroughly. Its not a difficult concept to grasp.
Thinking anyone is going to bully/force others into getting it is a foolish endeavor. I know multiple, and I do mean multiple front line workers from Police, to Fire, to nurses, and doctors who are refusing to get the experimental drug infected into their bodies.

I’m foreseeing a similar occurrence in the U.S. It won’t be “mandatory”, but if you don’t have it you won’t be able to do certain things.

You’re still here? Why don’t you go find something else to be offended about and stop following me around this thread.
Go sell crazy somewhere else

Sounds like more than just testing thoroughly when you use the word "infected" to describe the process of your cells developing a simple protein. At this point we have the tens of thousand of people who participated in the studies, plus the millions of people who have now received the vaccines. How much testing are you looking for?

It was supposed to say injected. Autocorrect.
Anyways, many people have received the vaccine, but the long term affects wont be known until, well, the long term.
I'm not saying don't get the vaccine if that's what you personally feel is best or you. I'm saying don't try to force or pressure others into getting it that don't want it.

The resistance we are seeing to the Covid-19 vaccine is similar to the thinking that lead to the Scopes trial.
Both based on willful ignorance.

Lets agree to disagree. Typical strategy you and other libs employ, if the other person disagrees, then call them ignorant or non factual. Why can't people have different opinions? Once everyone who wants the shot has gotten it I sure as **** hope this goes away. Your type wont let it go though. You'll demand everyone get it cause your scared. Let me ask though, if the vaccine is so effective, and you received your dose, why are you at any danger?
Why cant you libs let anything go?

It's called science, good buddy.
Not fear.
And concern for others that are not you.

You mean the same science that says you are born a man or woman and those are the only two genders? The one we’re told to ignore?
