PleaseBlitz Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 If your personal cost benefit analysis concludes that you aren't getting the vaccine, it sure as **** better also conclude that you need to keep to yourself and not risk catching it and then infecting others. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on this. Originally, I was hesitant about it as well. Just in general, it felt like 'how can they possibly have a vaccine for this already' and perhaps I'll let many others be the guinea pigs before I get it. That said, I'm not a science guy in the least, so I don't really know what goes into all this. I imagine there are a lot of folks like me though, who don't really know the ins and outs of how this vaccine came about. Couple that with all the misinformation out there and it's easy to see why some people have been skeptical. Part of my hesitancy as well, could come from the fact that I didn't expect to be eligible to get it for quite some time, so I figured that I had a good window of time to assure nothing crazy happens. But the moment it came available, much sooner than expected, I felt a duty to do it. How salty would I be if I ended up getting a bad case of covid, knowing I had the opportunity to get the vaccine? That's what it really boiled down to. Edited April 12, 2021 by BatteredFanSyndrome 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 But there has to be a fundamental underlying mistrust in science to listen to and accept the misinformation as truth. Where is that coming from? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is that coming from? It's not just a distrust of science, but big pharma in general and there are some good reasons for that. I'm sure all of that gets jumbled together for some people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) I suspect a lot of it also has to do with people not understanding the scientific method. Edited April 12, 2021 by The Evil Genius 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I think suggesting they should get more vaccines sort of requires not understanding the logistics of that. I mean if they gave the word right now we’re talking a 6-8 week turnaround minimum before any positive effects of the first rounds of vaccines would actually be seen? The surge will be declining by then. unfortunately I think the more sane thing is to try to get them everywhere else to prevent a surge elsewhere...

The Evil Genius Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Really the only solution in Michigan is a near total lockdown and then gradual reopening in a month or two. Or you just suffer the exponential case load, deaths, and suffering your residents will incur (and likely pass on outside of the State).

bearrock Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I would imagine it would be more effective to educate the people that having a third of the country with at least one dose of the vaccine is not a green light for reopening things and youth sports must shutdown especially with a new variant that is more transmissible and virulent among young people. Then again, last year showed that some people are for trying anything except a little personal responsibility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 One of my dad’s patients got covid after first shot. He is under quarantine fir 10 days.

There is absolutely no incentive to roll out a harmful vaccination, especially one that had been been tested on people for almost 12 months prior. It's purely political Trumpical. Hydroxychloroquine good; vaccine bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Army Begins Clinical Trials on Vaccine That May Be Effective Against All Coronaviruses Fifteen months after launching an effort to develop a vaccine against COVID-19, the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research is preparing for a clinical trial, seeking volunteers for a small safety study. The Army's vaccine candidate uses a new technology involving a Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle, or SpFN, that researchers hope can be adapted to protect against any coronavirus, including those that cause the common cold or deadly diseases such as COVID-19, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, MERS. The WRAIR vaccine candidate has been tested in mice and monkeys and is now ready for human safety trials, according to officials at the institute, which falls under Army Medical Research and Development Command. "Even before recent COVID-19 variants were identified, our team was concerned about the emergence of new coronaviruses in human populations, a threat that has been accelerating in recent years," Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, director of the Emerging Infectious Diseases Branch at WRAIR, said in a released statement. "That's why we need a vaccine like this: one that has potential to protect broadly and proactively against multiple coronavirus species and strains."

Fergasun Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I will play Monkey's Advocate... Big Pharma and Big Medicine are killing off their customers. They are killing off their customers because there are cheaper alternatives. You can't get an Emergency Uee Authorization if there are safe and effective alternatives. They want to make that Federal Government COVID money. But you can not give big pharma money by not getting vaccinated and using the cheaper alternatives. Nevermind that if there is some fatal flaw in the vaccines the companies will be bankrupt. People will pitchfork the companies and never get their vaccines again. Nevermind that people who live are better customers. It makes more sense if I say "Alex Jones has a net worth of $5M". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
