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.
@Myrth They now control statements of CDC and HHS and they have decimated the FDA and fast tracked other drugs. It will take a damn long time before I trust anything related to this administration.
This is why I am in the middle category — only if Fauci says safe. To me, vaccines have been a miracle of modern medicine, ending the horrors of childhood illnesses (one of my uncles died in childhood to a now preventable disease). They eliminated smallpox.
But Trump damages everything he touches. I trust Fauci. If he gets the vaccine and says it is safe, only then will I get one.
@Myrth only if Fauci says says and Russel Honore oversees distribution. A lot of PPE Jared's boys distributed was fake. How would we know it wasn't made in Ivanka's perfume factory.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine Frankly, the chances of a vaccine being widely distributed in the USA prior to the inauguration of our next president are slim. Most predictions I have seen are that a vaccine would be ready by early to mid-2021. I really don’t expect Ivanka and Jared to be involved, unless this election is stolen by Herr Fuhrer, or unless he stages a successful coup.
@Myrth How fast can Biden hire everyone competent back??? Pshew
