I fully and 100% agreed with the initial lock-down and distancing so our medical community could get ahead of this virus. This thing was unprecedented and came at such a fast rate of contagion that we simply did not have the medical infrastructure to combat the virus. We did not have the medical beds, the respirators, the ventilators, the isolation chambers... The drastic step of a short term lock-down/distancing policy helped us get in front of it. We have now done that 100 times over. Our supply of ventilators, respirators, therapeutic drugs, isolation chambers and ability to simply identify the virus is a total different dynamic than it was in February. In addition to all of this, we now also have hard scientific data showing that this virus is really a true danger in terms of mortality rates to older people 70 and greater. Just my opinion that when you combine these things, I think it's time for us to move on with our lives. If you are a person who gets a flu shot every year, then good for you. If you are a person who does not get one, then so be it. Each and every year, my wife and our 2 girls get flu shots. I am 54, and I have never had the flu in my life and I have never had a flu shot in my life. So personally, I feel good about myself. Call it greedy, call it "not caring about others". But there are many things in our world where people "do not care about others" and we all exist. Next we can start up a campaign to make fried foods illegal, because any restaurant who serves fried foods does not care about people, because more people die of heart disease related to obesity than C-19.

You went down the line of "not caring about others". I was just pointing out that if we are going to begin forcing people to do things based on objective type principals then we are opening a huge onion.
Stop it. Plenty of people in the military who suffered from Gulf War Syndrome who disagree with you.
Plenty of people will disagree with you about the HPV vaccine too.
If they are so safe, why are vaccine manufacturers immune from liability?
Like anything you stick in your body, you research the benefits versus the possible side effects and make a decision.
Please, be first in line to get your vaccine.
I am not against vaccines. Have family member with a Phd in Nursing, who said they will not be getting a vaccine for Covid.
Found one old acorn, I'm sure there a many more fresh ones to be found in the yard. This thread focused me on the time in 76' we were going thru a similar vaccine crises.Step, no more recent medical analysis follow-up than from 10 years ago ? Just askin'
Not to worry, Woody, my nerves are already shot from the 76' Swine flu vaccine l got.
Well, unlike the flu shot, the primary reason for getting this shot/vaccine isn't for yourself, but rather for the sake of the high-risk group.
^^ Nailed it ^^. And not coincidentally, this is exactly why all these lockdowns and REQUIRED/EXPECTED (voluntarily is fine) face coverings and "social distancing" is counter productive in getting past this virus.
Not exactly. The vaccine you and millions of others took by injection in the mid- to late-50s was the one developed by Jonas Salk. The one taken by sugar cube starting sometime in the 60s was a different vaccine developed by Albert Sabin. The Sabin vaccine was considered to be superior and safer so parents were urged to have it administered to their children even if they already had the Salk vaccine.
After those three sugar cubes, I now seem to have lost my remembrance of a few years following the cubes.
Interesting thread. For the record, I’ll follow the recommendations of my family Dr and cardiologist. If they say take it, I’ll get in line and get it as soon as possible.
Don't think I would get it right away, shortly, but see how it goes for a little while before getting it.
Many people, too many people IMO, are awfulizing the hell out of this upcoming Covid vaccine. We have no good info to make an informed decision about it yet. Wait until it is available. Once It is, collect the info you need to make an informed decision and make a choice. That said, when it does become available I certainly hope the evidence is convincing that people should get the vaccine.
The high risk group can get the vaccine and be safe, isn't that how a vaccine works? If they get the vaccine, the rest of us do not need the vaccine.
If you are not at risk, go right ahead and take a vaccine that has zero long term testing.
I wouldn’t worry about the forthcoming COVID-19 vaccine. Two of the main ingredients are glyphosate and talc.

Your chances of getting ovarian cancer from the talc are low, but I’d check with your gynecologist.
This is one of the worst posts I have ever read on this board.
HPV vaccine is completely safe. The only people who oppose it are religious whackjobs who are against sex.
Your family member should have their PhD revoked.
Yeah, that's not at all how flu shots work. It is impossible to get the flu from a flu shot. But keep making things up.
"There is some thought" does not mean "there is scientific evidence to support." Try again. And get your vaccines!!!!!
I'm really shocked at how many people on this board are displaying their ignorance when it comes to vaccines.
Really sad....
People keep saying this yet people keep getting sick from them. The first time I got a flu shot I got very sick. The second time I did not.
You may not feel good, but it's not because the vaccine gave you the flu. It's because your immune system is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
YOU are the one who dropped down to calling people "ignorant" and "jenny mccarthy" .... But I'm assuming that you are the intellect we should all listen to.
I understand how they work, thats why I get all of my other ones, but not a flu shot that works 30% of the time. Like I said, if people who work for NHI dont get them either maybe is not somethign you need every year
Correlation (esp with an n value of 1) does not equal causation.
