The official Covid vaccine thread

[Cooperman]

Assuming that this Pfizer product or one of the other front runners gets the green light then what is your view on having a dose or two?

 

[Darran]

I’ll have it. I’ve taken worse. :lol:

I’ll have it. I’ve taken worse. :lol:

This wont be up the arse though...

:lol:

Maybe I’m being cynical, but I think people are jumping the gun a bit with this one. Very promising news, but the idea of millions having it before Christmas...hmmm.

I think we’ll be lucky to see it before Feb/March.

Wondering if the first game we are allowed back into will be the home game v the scum. Gonna be round that time.

People are looking to cling onto potential good news but as you say plenty of work to be done before this becomes a proper reality.

I voted for patient patient because there are very few cases around where I live but my wife & I may be prioritised, me for age and her for her poor health condition.

Any vaccine developed over a few months has a lot to prove, should be safe though

If/when it's offered to me i'll take it. The antivaxxers do my head in, grown adults truly believing that it is a way for Bill Gates to microchip everyone on the planet for some unknown reason.

Having been in the shielding category since day one and being a lot closer to 70 than 60, I’m up for trying this. I agree that it won’t be around for a little while and I hope other vaccines will be released soon, but I think it’s worth the risk, personally.

Based on the soundbites in the MSM I would expect to see some deployment prior to Christmas. Who knows what the reality will be though.

The same people who don't want Bill Gates to secretly inject them with a tracking chip so he knows where they are at all times usually voice such opinions via their mobile phones.

Speaking from a genetic/Darwinian viewpoint it might actually be a better thing for the species if these people aren't vaccinated. Let nature take its course.

 

[Pegojack]

Pfizer ought to do a 'take one, get a Viagra free' offer, they'll be qeueing up then.......

 

[Swanjaxs]

I will patently wait my turn, but they won't be able to get this into my arm quick enough.

Yep. There's a lot more to it than just shipping them, even when they are ready. Doctor's surgeries need the correct refrigeration equipment, as do all of the transport vehicles. Then you need the workforce to administer the vaccines, doctors/nurses will have to spend most of their time doing this rather than other appointments. A lot of logistical work to be done, which Hancock says is underway...and the reason that I'm not so confident!
