The media is playing this like people are afraid to take a chance on the side effects of the vaccine. Just curious what you guys think. It seems the companies creating the vaccines are pretty similar.

Genius! A drug for the drugs! Maybe they can market the next drug for the side effects of this drug. Sounds like a money maker!Yep, I'll be first in line! NOT.
Have you seen this commercial yet? I had to do a double take. It's a new drug to treat the side effects of other drugs!
There was another one I saw a few nights ago (can't find it right now), that the side effects list was massive - you'd be better off not taking it....
I have a nephew going into the military for a second round. He has already been told about taking the vaccine. My guess would be if the military is all going to take it, then most people should. That said, be advised the second injection tends to induce more side effects of fever and severe fatigue for about 48 hrs as the immune response is rapid. There are less side effects from the first(loading) injection according to the CDC.

I don't get the flu vaccine, and I won't be getting this one either. I hardly ever get sick, unless you want to count seasonal allergies. My wife said recently that in the 20 years we've been together, I have been sick maybe twice.
I've been pretty lucky as far as my health goes..... so far.
But wouldn't someone susceptible to becoming very ill get the vaccine? At what point do we go back to individual responsibility for protecting yourself? It's one thing when we don't have a vaccine or good treatment to require people to protect others -- wearing masks, etc. But once we have the vaccine can we not just make people responsible to get the vaccine if they want protection?View attachment 95775
However you may contract Covid19, develop a subclinical case and go on to make others very ill. Something to think about as that will cause harm to innocent bystanders. And, it adds stress to healthcare providers who are all feeling lots of pressure today.

There are two questions that have different but related answers. I’ll take a stab at the first and leave the second part for another day. Your first is the logical; shouldn’t those at greatest risk take the vaccine? Yes, most should. But there is a large group that includes myself who are at significant risk that are limited to what they can take in the way of vaccinations. Those of us with compromised immune systems are susceptible to becoming sick from the disease the vaccination is meant to control. This does not mean all vaccinations are off limits (I got a flu shot this year), just some depending on how they function in the body. So until more specifics of each vaccine are made public it may be some time before we will know which ones will be safest for people with immune system issues. This group includes not only those like myself who take immunosuppressants because they are organ transplant recipients, but those with reduced immune system function from other medical conditions.
