How Many People Would Take A Covid Vaccine If One Became Available In The Next Few Weeks?

[nailit]

Would you? Just wondering?
If so why?
If not, why not?

[pixie374]

Not until it's been around for a while and shown to be safe.

[Tilly2]

Yes, I would and then perhaps I might stop being unnerved about being amongst other people. I'd like to go out for a meal and not have to concern myself about wearing a mask and worrying about the cleanliness of the tables, crockery and cutlery.

Interesting video here Pix

[burlyshirley]

If it's been properly tested, yes.

[jno]

same as pixie. Of course I'd like one, I'm old. But I need it to work.

[nailit]

Tills & Burley. As above ^

[Tilly2]

Can you give a synopsis of the video? I'm not going to spend half an hour watching that.

//I'm old. But I need it to work.//
One of my work collegues has a wife who works in an old peoples home. One of her 'clients' was tested positive at 78, no symptons and in perfect health.
Why bother?

Tilly, the full title is "How Many Billion Could the Covid-19 Vaccine Kill or Damage?"

[teacake44]

17.59 Why, what else you got to do?

[jno]

Nailit, because other people, even younge onesr, get Covid and do have symptoms, including death. That's why I bother.

Vernon Coleman is a GP.
He basically outlines how vaccines are tested over YEARS and rushing one through now could be catastrophic for humans.

[Tilly2]

Feeding the dog, cooking the dinner, watching England play football...all sorts of things.

Thanks, Jno.

the quickest vaccine ever developed was for mumps, and it took four years. I could watch a lot of cautionary videos in that time

[Tilly2]

A hypothetical question about an hypothetical vaccine then?

[pixie374]

Thanks, nailit, I might have a look later. Once we have (hopefully) a safe and effective vaccine, then it should be given to those entitled to flu jabs first. So I would probably have a wait, anyway.

"One of her 'clients' was tested positive at 78, no symptons and in perfect health"

why bother to what ?

[nailit]

//A hypothetical question about an hypothetical vaccine then?//
Yes.
As JNO pointed out, the quickest vaccine took 4 YEARS to develop.
Why would anyone take a vaccine that took only a few months to develop.
Anyone remember how thalidomide was considered safe at one time?

I wouldnt take a vaccine that was rushed through so quickly.

[fiction-factory]

Tilly, watch the video if you want but I didn't bother when I read the summary which said "how governments and vaccine companies are planning to inject us all with Covid-19 vaccines which could change our genes. " There are no plans to inject us all so the premise is flawed

[Tilly2]

I took it as a straightforward question about a vaccine being available and ones responses to that.

I had no idea that I was supposed to have researched the testing, validity and viability of the said vaccine.

I'll be off then.
