I'll be the first in line if possible 91 37.76%

I'll get one but I'll wait a month or two to see who croaks 56 23.24%

Like any software or game system, never take 1.0... I'll wait until summer 30 12.45%

If no one's dead by next Thanksgiving, count me in 18 7.47%

No. ****ing. Way. 46 19.09%

That’s right now. (And thanks for doing that stuff).

Once the vaccination is widely available and the mask orders are allowed to expire, are you going to wear a mask as part of your everyday life.

If you vaccinate, you protect practically everyone you come into contact with from you being an asymptomatic carrier. If you don’t, the only way to do that is to keep living your life in public like we have been.

Do you want to do that?

It isn’t just about the young and healthy on this. Like with any vaccine, it’s about preventing asymptomatic spread to the weakest among us (immune compromised, etc).

About accepting the vaccine as part of your compact with the civilization in which you live, to protect as many as possible from something generally preventable.

And I think that is the most important part for our folks to stress:

Once you get vaccinated and wait the requisite time for it to become effective (or whatever the correct terminology is), your masks become moot. Put them away for next time and go back to life as before.

Yes, the efficacy is not 100%, but I think that needs to be the pitch.

The masking orders are permanent regardless of the efficacy of a SARSCov2 vaccine.


Dunno why people cannot grasp this.

Bookmarked for future fun.

Because it’s a crazy conspiracy theory.

Are u stating we will have to wear masks for our remaining days on this planet? Or what are you saying. If so, just staggeringly false.
[Reply]

There will be an overlap period I’m sure, but any mask mandates would get lifted as we reach herd immunity status (probably on a region by region basis based on population density).

Pretty good points. But rather than expect the extremely overwhelming majority to vaccinate to protect the weak why don't we just require the weak minority to take extra precautions? Like I said before, the US Government has already pumped so much shit into my veins there's no telling what side-effects I may have down the road. It's really hard for me to convince myself to get yet another injection just to protect other people who in my opinion should be the ones protecting themselves...especially something that hasn't been around long enough to know about possible side-effects.

Because they can't protect themselves

If I cant get the antibodies from sucking off Lew then yes.

I got the covid (mild case I’m fine) 6 weeks ago. And after talking with many health professionals, the only thing that they’re sure about is that masks and social distancing prevent it. I hammered two doctors with questions and I got different answers. Nobody really knows anything about this virus or the different strains. I’m fine, a guy I know who was in his 30’s (good shape) got it last Monday and by Friday he was dead. Will there be different vaccines for the type of covid you plan on getting?
[Reply]

Thus far, the evidence suggests that the vaccines that have been developed will be sufficient for all of the types of mutations we've seen. It would have to behave in a very different way than similar coronaviruses we've seen in the past for that to change.
