Hello everyone,

How are you today? emoticon cute

The pharmaceutical groups Pfizer (USA) and BioNTech (Germany), as well as Moderna (USA), announced last month that their vaccine candidates are around 94 and 95% "effective" in preventing COVID-19 infections, according to preliminary results of their large-scale phase 3 trials, which are still ongoing. 

Earlier this week, the White House Coronavirus Task Force was in discussion about the FDA approval (slated for December 10th at the earliest), with rumors of a vaccine launch as early as the week of December 14th!

What do you think about this? Would you be interested in getting vaccinated against COVID-19 once the vaccine is available? 

Feel free to discuss and share in the comments below!

Take care,

Courtney

I did all the research on my own, pulled raw data from the VAERS website and ran in through sorts and filters of my own so I would have real information. It includes medical notes, autopsy results, vaccine dates, and death information. I sorted through all non related deaths such as suicide, etc. Then I compared year over year vaccine death data for the past 3 years. In the first 6 months alone of the new vaccine being used, all vaccine related deaths are up over 2,000%, that is two thousand percent. Average vaccine related deaths for the last 3 years was 184 people/children for the entire years. The first six months we are over 5,800 deaths. I have decided NOT to get this vaccine, the risks were just too high for me personally and my situation. I actually did have Covid in December and yes I got pneumonia, but recovered almost entirely at home with only a 12 hours stay in the hospital, mostly for observation and making sure antibiotics were effective. Unfortunately, [this content has been moderated by an administrator]. I was shocked to see that [this content has been moderated by an administrator]. I am not taking the chance with my daughters life, she also had Covid in December with my entire household, she had no symptoms, nor did any of my children who had it. My husband recovered in 8 days and his was like the flu. I know every person has different circumstances, this is just how I feel about it. I have Type II diabetes, Asthma, and COPD, and I'm 40. If I worked in healthcare or had someone else who was high risk I cared for then perhaps I'd feel differently. Good luck and well wishes to everyone out there!

I'm 80 years old. I have Type 2 diabetes and emphysema. As Covid manifests mainly as a respiratory disease, both my endocrinologist and pulmonologist advised that I get the vaccine ASAP as the risks of not getting it are, for me, higher than the risks of the vaccine itself. I'm going with the odds. I already had my first injection and have an appointment for my second. The only side effect I've had is a sore arm at the injection site for a few days but, as far as I'm concerned, it's a small price to pay.

I think it's a scam but worth not risking it.

 With both my Primary Physician & my Neurologist recommending I should get it I had no problem making the decision. And was glad to get the vaccine.   Now I plan to seek their guidance on the booster. I'll be more than happy to have more protection. 😊

I'm 72 I have cancer, kidney, liver disease, asthma and I'm severely anemic. I had both shots. The only reaction was a sore arm.

I had the Maderna booster shot this week.  My doctor  said I was eligible being immune compromised & DMT medications.  Symptoms similar to my 2nd dose.  Sore arm, felt kinda yucky for about day & 1/2 & had some headaches.  Nothing that I couldn't handle. Live in Florida and we are a top hot spot as well as the country I live in & 3 counties within a 10 to 30 mile radius.
