    I will get it as soon as I can.  I volunteered for two vaccine trails (July and Oct) but never got the invite.  This falls into the "no-brainer" decision for me.

    I'll get it when I am able.  i do have to say that Jenny McCarthy makes a compelling argument to be an anti-vaxer.

    I would take the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines in a heartbeat. As I see it though I probably won’t be offered it until Easter or so, 60 with 1 pre existing condition and no longer a critical employee. I already have spent an hour talking my parents into taking it as soon as offered. I described the likely side effects and to not let that convince them to skip the second shot. 
    The AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson vaccines, I am not convinced of yet . We will have to have at least one of them at least in order to get everybody vaccinated by Labor Day though. The Pfizer and Moderna will only have enough vaccine for 150 million by mid summer.
    Yeah, I think the efficacy of the mRNA technology is unusually high around the mid 90s percentile with mild, flu-like side effects so far....will be surprised if any of the other types of vaccines are as good.

    So far AstraZeneca is either 70% or 90% depending on some different factors. What it is is 25% of the cost of Pfizer and much easier to distribute. Cost makes a difference.

    To answer johnmitchell:

    what the heck, I'll try taking it in the bum. 

    Also

    I will get the vaccine shot too. 
    i called the study coordinator and told her we have two volunteers for the levator ani arm (or tail) of the trial.  she was a little shocked when i told her to call scottie and pigbeanus but i vouched.

    The only down side I can think of by taking it in the bum is the soreness around the entry of the prick and the swelling after the shot

    Funny how the colloquial term for "shot" in the UK is "prick" and I'll resist the urge for a joke at this time because it would be too obvious.

    I actually thought that Brits say “jab” instead. I watch a couple of UK YouTube channels and they talk about the different colloquialisms frequently.

    If we are not living World War Z in the next few weeks I will take it.

    The COVID has gotten closer to home.  A little over a month ago an active 70 something in our extended family died from it.   Now our younger son and daughter-in-law have it.  She has been sick - he, so far, not.  This week our second grandchild will be born, and we cannot go to the hospital (I understand, but it sucks).  My wife is high risk but one to worry about things she hears about the vaccine on social media, etc.

    What’s going to really be problematic is the non-vaccinated (i.e. anti-vaxxers)  going maskless now, claiming to have been vaccinated. 

    They were already insufferable and dangerous. 



    The anti-vaxx conspiracy was created by misanthropic cannibal ky-jelly hording elitists to thin out the herd of gullible conspiracy theory idiots -- probably the same people that keep the extended car warranty people in business and calling me incessantly. 

    It has worked so far, but that's nothing compared to what we'll see in 2021.

    I posted this in the OT and also WAYDRN  on-topic thread.  
    I wish this would get traction beyond our former presidents and Dr Fauci.  Just venting here!

    "Now that there is a vaccine, we need the "across the culture" heavy-weights to be queued up and media hyped getting the shot.  This will go far in helping convince many that it is safe.  
    First in line should be POTUS (aka Cheeto) as that will change the trajectory of the nay-sayers but I hold little hope of that happening. 
    I am current culture driver challenged but I'm sure you could get a whole lot of media and eye-ball saturation with less than 100 celebrities in all fields to volunteer.  Too bad it won't happen.
    Be well-"

    I will take it.  Attendance at public events, concerts, football, baseball, hockey, may require proof of vaccination.  Will never get back to normal without it.

    As many high risk folks as I'm around there is no way I can not get it. Always assumed this was a no-brainer.
