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 am all for the Vaccine.  It was definitely rushed through. but the science behind it seems right on the mark.

I would like the vaccine especially being high risk.  I’m doing everything I can to stay safe, but my husband isn’t taking it as seriously.  He’s not good about washing his hands.

I'm not taking it either, not at first, after I see if there are any problems with taking it. So far I haven't been concerned with contacting the virus, and hope that enough others take it to rid the major scare of this virus. I was waiting for and now see that there is a 2nd strain of the virus hitting Brittan really hard, and parts of Europe have closed down travel from there. US still accepting travelers so hope they cut back on that. It now seems like we have to accept that we live on a different planet, or plane, and our new normal lives will be wearing a mask, and having concerns with hygiene, where those close to us have been and who they have been in contact with. I'm not scared, but I am cautious. I am able to isolate myself , but when I feel it is best to get vacinated, I'm sure my doctor will talk me into getting the vaccine.  What is this talk about the inserting of a chip.  They don't need to chip us, we already chip ourselves with our cell phones. That's another topic though.  Stephen

Of course I will get the vaccination. I know I will die, I choose not to do it via Covid 19. Millions of people have died and millions more will die. I feel that people who do not get vaccinated will be responsible for this pandemic never ending. There is NO chip involved.  I will be 72 on New Years Day, in very good health and have every intention of staying that way. Wear your mask, stay sanitized and let's have a better 2021.

I was reading an article from the National MS Society and it said unable to say for certain how safe & effective the vaccine will be.  Having to do with immune changes that occur with MS and from the disease modifying therapies. Also would have more information in Januart 2021..No MS patients had been part of the clinical trials.  This was just a small part of the article.  I pray I will be ok to get the vaccine.

@wudarski  Yes I read about the microchip insert also. I am hopeful someone will post a hack that will allow me to use the GPS info for yardage on the golf course.  So for that reason alone I AM IN!!
