Notice The OFFICIAL Corona Virus Vaccine Game Thread........

There have already been hundreds of thousands of test dummies... They had the vaccine in January.

There have been no long term side effects.

 

The side effects are sore arm. Possibly achy body. Gone when you wake up the next morning.

 

How long have they been testing subjects?

Answer: 6 months.

I'm low on the totem pole to receive it, so chances are millions will be getting it before I do or I can, so I'll see how the larger scale tests are so I can make an informed decision. I certainly won't be trying to cut the line, go right ahead!

 

Most of them got the COVIDs anyway, so they are already immune!

 

And long term side effects from vaccines nearly always show up within 2 weeks.

So hundreds of thousands, over 6 months. We've passed the test dummy stage.

Literally nothing to be concerned about. All of the adults rejected Trump's efforts to take shortcuts, and they did the trials correctly.

These vaccines are safe. If they were going to give us unsafe vaccines we would have been rolling them out over last spring and summer.

 

I believe this is the first wide-scale distribution of an mRNA vaccine. This is a totally different mechanism versus weakened strained vaccines. We will see results when hundreds of millions of people get it over time. If it seems good after that, I'll probably get it. We don't even know how long this vaccine will confer immunity.

I wouldn't want to be the first ones the give this to on a large scale, especially after only 6 months of testing subjects. I imagine the therapies they find most effective in a year will look quite different from what's available now.

But if they are safe, start stabbin' away. I'll be waiting on the sidelines with a cup of coffee and everyone in front of me can be the safety net.

 

Been on the fence, but decided the slim chance of any long term side affects from the vaccine, beats the odds of probable damage, or worse, caused by covid on my very beat up old body.

Getting the vaccine comes down to. What do you have to lose?

The coronavirus vaccine rollout will be messy. People will have to deal with that.

 

Your bravery and courage won't go unnoticed.

 

How courageous of you.

 

Thank you. I do my part.

 

Don't get me wrong. I don't personally care if you trust the science on the vaccine. You are welcome to make up your own mind.

I do care that your public objections and concerns are challenged and/or answered.

There is no logical reason to fear this vaccine. Especially after the thorough trials it just passed.

MRNA does not interact with your DNA cells in any way. They merely introduce a partial spike protein which is unique to SARS-CoV-2.

This protein is broken down naturally by the body and discarded. In this process the body learns to identify and destroy any cells which carry the spike protein in any potential SARS-CoV-2 infection early enough to prevent infection.

There is no mechanism in which this could make you ill or cause long term side effects, unless you're one of the very few people who are allergic to many many things.

And you would already know if you are one of those people.

I guess we will see if it works perfectly then.

Things rarely do.

 

Also, how long it will it be effective for is unknown. You know, since they only have 6 months of data. They will still be studying the effects of this vaccine as its being administered to the general public. Its an emergency use authorization. The litmus for its safety and approval to use is a cost benefit analysis. The bar is lowered because they don't have enough data for how long it works and what are the long term effects, which have not be conclusively established.

We will know more once we start injecting the vulnerable in nursing homes en masse I guess and see how they react.

 

This is what the FDA gives you when you get the vaccine.

HAS THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE BEEN USED BEFORE? The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine. In clinical trials, approximately 20,000 individuals 16 years of age and older have received at least 1 dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE? In an ongoing clinical trial, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been shown to prevent COVID-19 following 2 doses given 3 weeks apart. The duration of protection against COVID-19 is currently unknown.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE?
Side effects that have been reported with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19
Vaccine include: • injection site pain • tiredness • headache • muscle pain • chills • joint pain • fever • injection site swelling • injection site redness • nausea • feeling unwell • swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy)

There is a remote chance that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to one hour after getting a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include: • Difficulty breathing • Swelling of your face and throat • A fast heartbeat • A bad rash all over your body • Dizziness and weakness

These may not be all the possible side effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Serious and unexpected side effects may occur. Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is still being studied in clinical trials.

 

I'm not saying that its a bad thing and no one should be vaccinated, but to unequivocally state that you should have no fear or skepticism whatsoever at taking this vaccine is foolish.

1. The Vaccine is not FDA Approved.
2. We don't know how long it confers immunity.
3. We don't know long term side effects or all possible side-effects that can occur. It is still being studied in a clinical trial and while they have noted side effects in the 20,000 people who got the vaccine, who knows what pops up when that number has reached 20 million people or 200 million people or is administered to a vulnerable population.

People need to do their own due diligence and make an informed decision rather than just open their arms and assume that everything will be hunky dory.
