    I believe most countries and workplaces will bully people into doing it.
    In Denmark it was discussed how to punish citizens who refuse to do it and in my country it is proposed to reward Green "passports" to those who do it and those passports would allow more freedom (which means no freedom to those who refuse to vaccinate).

    but as long as i have a choice, I'd rather not be a guinea pig for this instant vaccination.

    I avoid pills and other drugs when I'm sick as well.

    There's no way I'd get a vaccine that just came out and was rushed onto the market because it's competing with other vaccines to be the first available.
    Also there's literally no argument for forcing people to get vaccinated. Forcing people to respect quarantines, social distancing and all the other rules was because this could be dangerous for other people, but not getting the vaccine is only putting yourself in "danger" since you can't contaminate the people that actually get it. So it should be your choice to do it or not.

    I can't believe you guys! It's a win win situation. Either you're immune to virus and you can tell everyone you've been vaccinated. Or you become a flesh eating Zombie. What's not to like?

    I'm not saying that it's not your right to refuse vaccination. That being said your logic about the difference between other mitigation tactics and getting the vaccine is completely flawed. The reason why we socially distance and wear masks (especially the masks) is to protect others, what better way can you protect others than to guarantee that you can't get the virus and therefore can't spread the virus. I know this belongs in the OT forum but you did bring it up.

    Well, my wife should be taking it in the next few weeks. I will let you know if she turns into a biter. Unless of course, she bites me first.

    half the board members here are practically flesh-eating zombies, but that’s mostly just from these nerds’ lack of socialization.

    Over 50,000 people in the US have already received a vaccine in massive clinical trials. The only side effects observed have been allergy related, and that too from the actual injection, not anything related to the vaccine. The only thing we don't know is longer term effects, but we never do with vaccines anyway. The sample size has been massive in these trials-- YOU won't be the guinea pig.

    The rush here was only in the removal of red tape, not the science. These vaccine trials have had as much rigor if not more than the usual flu vaccine trials.
