Thoughtful email from a researcher who has been part of #SARS-Cov-2 vaccine trials - he thinks 60 is a decent cutoff age to encourage people to get the vaccine, and compares the side effects to the shingles vaccine (which of course is not mandatory or particularly widely used). pic.twitter.com/LtGxlOlF0q

I got chicken pox in my thirties. Decided to get the shingles vaccine at 50 because my dad has told me the stories of his bout with shingles. The first shot was nothing. The second shot hit me like a fucking truck. Don't particularly want to go through that again. [Reply]

It does and I don't regret that. But that's a proven vaccine with tons of data too support it. I want to see real world stats on the general public before taking this one in stage one. [Reply]
My son is a nurse in a hospital in Indy. He will take the shot. When we asked him why and he replied that the vaccine needs enough sample to get the result. [Reply]
Yes, and I agree with that. Asymptomatic spread is absolutely a lot less than symptomatic spread, which is why getting a large portion of the population vaccinated, along with some rolling immunity from naturally getting the virus, can slow this spread fairly quickly in 2021. And the study also states what should be common knowledge by now, that household transmission in the leading cause of further spread, more so that community acquired.
