Poll: Covid-19 Vaccine

posted by Spock

You are the one that sounds like a fool by implying that you "supposedly" had a virus.  If you tested positive for antibodies then you HAD the virus.

The tests also aren’t 100% accurate. Shut the fuck up already. 

Big brain on a roll today!

As long as I can maintain my lifestyle and the virus doesn’t get to anyone in my house or work, I won’t take it.

Put it off as long as possible

Bell's Palsy is only temporary, correct?

Some people have affects for life. My neighbor never fully recovered.

In most cases.

So the risks of paralysis are worth it to eliminate .04%

I'll receive it before the end of December. The data looks great.

Bell's palsy did not occur more frequently in the intervention arm than it does in the general population. Annual incidence is 15-40 cases per 100,000. It resolves in 86-96% of cases following a short steroid course.

Good to see you posting

More-so we won't have to be as cautious when interacting with high risk individuals and geriatrics like yourself. You should be happy.

I'm looking forward to seeing my grandmother without having to quarantine and/or scrambling to get a test prior.

Got my first dose of moderna today. No issues at all.

My 2nd dose is scheduled for 1/9, wife will have her 2nd the week following. Like Auto said, for me it’s always been more about the risk of me, as an asymptomatic carrier, giving it to our parents, grandparents, or at-risk patients. It will be nice to not have to quarantine and test negative prior to seeing family if we would like. 

I would think that a lot of people will wait a few weeks after the 2nd dose and then go get an antibody test to see if it worked.

That's smart.  Maybe combine that with an MRI to make sure they didn't chip you.

I cant tell if you are being a smartass or not but antibody tests are cheap, $25 bucks.  Why not make sure that this man made virus and massive science project of a vaccine are actually working.

according to my sources, these "MRNA" vaccines use an amalgam of HELA DNA and jellyfish DNA to provide the viral immunity and make it compatible with our human DNA. Since I've read up on Henrietta Lacks (HELA) i'm going to pass on this, give me the live virus vaccine, or nothing.

Got my 2nd dose yesterday and currently have no noticeable side effects.
