    No, not only because it has not been tested, but the chance of human error. tested meaning long term.

    yeah I can see it coming I Am Legend was a movie made about a failed vaccine and people became zombies. I guess that's what's going to happen or will be sterile they don't know all the side effects of this yet

    I'm on the list, just waiting for my number to come up. Besides not wanting to get sick, become debilitated with lasting organ damage, or die; I owe it to my mate, and to my larger community, especially to the folk who are immunocompromised and are relying upon the rest of us for herd immunity. It's something I as a citizen can do to contribute to the well-being of my society.
    Besides, I'm not an idiot; vaccines are the reason humanity's no longer terrorized by things like smallpox and polio.

    I will wait and see. I have self quarantine, but can't wait to get out and about. When warmer weather gets here I plan on getting out more.

    We are not planning on getting the vaccine. If the vaccine becomes mandatory by our employer the courts we be involved very quickly so this will give us plenty of time to see the side affects of the people that rushed to get the vaccine.

    We have had some friends that contracted the Covid, not being pleasant to deal with it’s very survivable.

    As for getting the vaccine to fly, we will just have to drive.

    Because of your youth, you are not a priority and therefore you are way, way down the list to receive the vaccine.

    Everyone makes choices for what is best for them everyday, it’s yours to make not mine or others to mandate such things

    Yes as soon as its avalable I will get the vaccine.
    I want to re start my life and it looks like the vaccine is the only way that will happen.
    I do also belive we will all need to have the virus several times so our bodies can build up a natural immunity.
    From what I read these vaccines will not kill the virus just stop you becoming ill from it.
    All these people who refuse the vaccine saying its not safe etc. Do you take paracetamol if you have a headache ? Do you smoke ? Do you take any drugs ? Do you drink Coke or similar. Their a a lot of things we all eat,drink,smoke etc everyday that require a lot of testing and research before we can take them . The vaccine is the same.
    Yes its been done on a much faster time scale. But when was the last time governments and drugs companies dropped everything and worked together to get a vaccine.

    People eat sausages all their lives but won't take a vaccine because they don't know what's in it.

    I got the first of two shots of the Moderna vaccine on January 9. No problems. Scheduled for the second shot on February 6. You don’t want to know what I think of anti-vaxxers or what should be done to them.

    I share a similar opinion. I'm not a priority to get any COVID 19 vaccine, which is fine because I'm not begging to be the first to get it anyway. I know they have been created with the best of intentions and with the best science we've ever had. In other words, there's no conspiracy for mind control or anything else like that. But none of them have been out for even a year, so long(ish) term effects of receiving any of them are not known. However, by the time my turn comes up I'll be confident with results and risks if nothing catastrophic has resulted from the vaccines.
    The only reason I would delay receiving any vaccine is if I happened to have gotten infected within a few weeks. Introducing a vaccine into my body too soon after overcoming an illness that the vaccine is supposed to guard against might trigger symptoms.

    The concern I have isn't the vaccine: I just don't like how this whole thing is being used to require a vaccine passport to travel within my own country. It sounds like we're starting to adopt policies that have previously only been seen in oppressive regimes.

    While I've largely complied with all COVID precautions, I like being able to have the power to travel wherever I want without restriction.
