    I don't mean that I like that you are broke and desperate, I mean that I sympathize with you.

    If people won't wear masks do you really think they're going to get the vaccine?

    "Normal" might not happen for years.

    The vaccine comes in two phases. It might be a challenge getting everybody on board with getting the vaccine. Especially when you hear that some doctors and nurses fear that after getting the first vaccination and seeing the side effects people won't want to come back for the second.

    I dont know if I necessarily agree with "years".

    I think this is going to be streamlined a bit faster than that... and with that, I think more people are gonna get on board probably by may/june next year. And with that, "normal" will become like the flu is now. People will either take the shot or not, and the risks associated with it - and also the freedoms of it.

    You do also have to take into account that peoples livelihoods are in shambles, and perhaps "anti-vaxxers" will feel the need to take it to get back to "normalcy" (though that may create a whole other set of problems)... perhaps, JUST PERHAPS, this might turn some people around on the idea of vaccines.

    Source: My own pie-in-the-sky-wishing-to-get-back-to-normal. Not peer reviewed, but I am looking through a sociological and psychological framework... so, in the end, who the fuck knows.

    I don't trust the vaccine. Its rushed with no long term studies. Its a brand new action to fight a disease that has never been done on a large population.

    Eventually, I'll probably be forced to take it or hell, maybe it will start working, but I'll let everyone go before me and see how they get all fucked up first. Go ahead and be the test dummy for this.

    They'll end up refining it probably to minimize these side effect. The rushed first wave of the vaccine is basically having the public be the test dummies.

    I have absolutely NO problem with them UK being the initial crash test dummies. Might even be fun to watch if they start dropping over, losing or gaining body parts, etc, etc.

    Well, that could be from the inbreeding.

    I've heard that it hurts like a mother fucker and makes you deathly ill like the worst case of flu you ever had. But then again, maybe my wife was just kidding me.

    It's my understanding that the first shot is "a primer" and the second shot is "a booster" and any sides effects are typically worse after the second shot, if at all....It's also my understanding that only about 10-15% of people who participated in the clinical trials had any side effects other than a sore arm for 24 hours.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    No. But the easy solution is to forcibly inject the vaccine into people who dissent. Maybe inject them with some 5G while we're at it.

    They need to see just how long this vaccine lasts. They are hoping for at least 3 months but we don't really know for sure.
