Yes. I work in healthcare and was actually among the first group in the state of California to get the Pfizer series. I have records showing my first was back in December of 2020. A huge reason for getting vaccinated as soon as I could was to be part of the early test data, and also because I believed that this was our doorway to things being back to normal. Unfortunately it seems that for so many, now the goalposts have moved to "but what about the children?" despite the numbers for them being really, really low.
And now I am happily awaiting June 15th, 2021 at 12:01am when the California mandates finally expire.
Zero side effects.
The risk argument of getting COVID(and its short and long term side effects) vs vaccine(and its side effects) should be simple enough. The vaccine is being used by several million people in the world. If it had any super weird short term side effects, you would have known about it by now. If you are concerned about the unknown long term side effects or the vaccine - have you thought about the unknown long term side effects of catching COVID?
Nett win for vaccines don't you think?
Also, you get to break the chain of the pandemic and save a few lives along the way..
> Have you been vaccinated or are you planning to?
Typical answer from someone who is somewhat well-versed in logic: yes.
I’ve had my first dose of the vaccine, got the second dose booked in for next month.
Long COVID is definitely more of a worry for me than any vaccine side effects.
I got vaccinated few weeks ago. So far no green skin, no strong brain preferences, no magnetism or better phone reception. If you are reasonably young and healthy you should not be afraid from both the virus or the vaccine, but by vaccinating, you are doing a social service to protect everybody else.
I volunteered for AZ two months ago, otherwise I would have needed for to wait a couple more months to get a mRNA shot. With reserves of Ivermectin I feel very safe.
No and no.
Young-ish, healthy weight, in decent health, zero interest in becoming a guinea pig for this rush-job biologic. If I were 80, it would be different.
I have been vaccinated. But not for covid19. Has anyone ever been vaccinated for covid19? Why do people still keep getting it (covid19)?
I'm not getting the vaccine, but our family had COVID early and it's not likely to help us anyway. My wife has already had a couple of incidents where she's been asked about vaccination and they had no provision for "infected and recovered", just vaccinated or not.
I expect the worst side effects are already apparent; and the ones that will trouble the most people for the longest are bureaucratic bullshit rules adopted in haste and never reviewed.
