So, curious. On the news this morning they discussed a poll. Many people say they won’t get a coronavirus vaccine, apparently preferring to risk death or lifelong damage to major organ systems to some small risk posed by a vaccine.
So I am curious what’s your feeling? Will you get a vaccine if one is developed?
@Myrth Normally I'd be first in the damn line but....

This is some kind of insider sell off, not a vote of confidence. The money being allocated by the government to develop a vaccine doesn't seem to be given out to companies that habe developed and brought a vaccine to development, shared with WHO that we left or distributed in any way other than the same as Jared gave his frat buddies PPE money. It is going to take a whole lot for me to trust anyone on this.
Agree! I am a big proponent of vaccines, but I am finding it hard to trust anything backed by this administration. I'll be talking to our family doctor on Monday. @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Myrth

I'll surely wind up getting it when I can, ideally once *proper* medical professionals who don't stand to profit have endorsed it.

IKR?! What you lot have been saying.
I'm SUPER pro-vaccinations/flu shots, etc (I have lost count of how many vaccines I've had in my life, but...safe to say a LOT, and that's not even including temporary ones during my various sojourns overseas), though even *I* remain a bit skeptical of anything rushed, or in any way tainted by the touch of the current regime.
