Seems to be mostly Trumpers. The common response is, "I'm all for vaccines but I dunno about this, its new and we don't really know what effects it can has"

These are not medically illiterate people, these are ICU nurses I see saying these things.

It's not THAT ridiculous when you consider vaccines on average take over a decade to develop and test properly. I don't think it's just ignorant trumpers who have cause to be a little more cautious about it than usual.

My father spent 40 years as veterinary research scientist with a background in biochemistry and he is also a little bit cautious about how quickly they've pumped this one out.

Like dude, have a bit of nuance to your thinking. The world is not split into smart people and trumpers.

Wasn't it already stated that it would take a good 10 years before anything worthy come out?

Is he going to take the vaccine or no? Having some skepticism is fine, but if it becomes FDA approved and its available publically, is he not going to take it? Thats the key question. The people I'm talking about are NOT going to take it, they're going to wait and see what happens.

I have a BS in biochemistry and molecular biology as well as an MD, so I know alittle bit about this stuff

I imagine he will take the vaccine, especially considering he is nearly 70 and immunocompromised. But he'll read the fine print for sure, as should anyone.

It is stupid for people to dismiss it outright, but caveat emptor too.

Usually the timeline for production of vaccines is filled with paperwork, applications, and waiting. It's also usually not incentivized in such a way that companies will pour so many resources into it.

I get the worries, but really what you have to pay attention to are the trial results.

Well if the COVID vaccine does have any issues it will be the health care workers that get sick/die since they are getting it first.

So I'm totally ok taking it since it means the health care workers didn't have serious side effects by the time it my turn.

The issue people have is it usually takes a few years to a decade to have a public ready vaccine, the time is mostly taken up by testing it and seeing how it effects people, along with the side effects.

Doctors and scientists have said they are concerned and are iffy about the vaccine so it is not just random people but professionals in the field that do this for a living.

There is fair reason to be concerned about taking a vaccine that was developed so quickly

TC is lacking in any sort of nuance here

I'm likely gonna take it, but I'm going to be hesitant about it. I may wait a month or two after it is available to me.

Though maybe more info comes out to reassure me that it will be ok, but idk

This isn't a vaccine that has been around for decades. This is a vaccine developed at a rapid pace for a virus that barely existed a year ago. This clearly is different from any vaccine you've ever taken.

There is good reason to be cautious here

FWIW, I did see someone say that a lot of this time is devoted to finding funding and test subjects.

I don't know if that's true at all.

Given that people want to resume life as quickly as possible, it's not unreasonable to think we're potentially cutting corners on research, testing, and approval to rush it out as quickly as possible. It's entirely likely we're just putting way more resources and man power into it than a normal one to vastly quicken the time it takes as well, but it's not conspiracy theory level doubt.

While I don't believe they are implanting us with trackers I hate that comparison. Sure I have this completely optional can get rid of it if I want it tracker so who cares if one is permently imbedded in me, no biggie. As said i dont think they are i just hate stupid arguments like that.

Covid isn't new. It's a different strain of influenza in which we have vaccines for. It didn't take long to make a vaccine for.

No it isn't. Coronaviruses as a whole aren't new but it certainly isn't a strain of influenza. No coronavirus has ever had a vaccine prior to this. Covid is a lot more similar to SARS than it is the common flu...

In my expierence they dont think it's fake. I called some friends and family out on saying that and when I actually got them to present their logic it was more they felt it was overhyped for political reasons.not so much it didnt exist.

They aren't being guinea pigs. The guinea pigs were the people in the trial period. It has been approved for everyone and health care and elderly get it first.

I'm in healthcare and I find these concerns valid. I'm also exhausted of this shit and will probably take it, but can you fucking blame me for being worried about what my pregnant wife is gonna do?
my wife is pregnant and due in March. I'm gonna be the one who gets it and does all the running around. She'll take it when doctors say it's safe, whether that's during breastfeeding or after (we're assuming after, in which case she decided she's going to breastfeed for 6 months and then get the vaccine).

On a separate note my mom said she's not getting the vaccine. I told her that she wouldn't be able to see the baby, and she immediately replied "then I'll lie" in a very serious tone. She later backed off and said she was joking, but you best fucking believe that my wife and I are gonna need to see the paperwork before we let her see the baby.
