When do you expect to be vaccinated for covid-19?

[MichaelCorfman]

With a number of covid-19 vaccines approved for use in various countries around the world, and the pace of vaccinations picking up, I figured a good topic for this week's poll would be to share vaccination plans and expectations.

Personally, my wife has made appointments for the two of us for our first dose of a 2-dose vaccine next Tuesday, March 9th. We both qualify for an earlier phase of distribution where we live.

So, for this week's poll I ask when you anticipate being vaccinated, or if you are not sure or know you will not be vaccinated. I welcome your view of the vaccination process where you are located.

Already vaccinated

Just got first dose. Second dose due in 12 weeks (in the UK).

Lack of vaccines in Italy, 40 - 50 years old people will hopefully get vaccinated in summer or early spring.

I hope my parents will get vaccinated very soon.

[newcustomeroffer]

In the UK 40-49 category so that should be starting after the first priority groups are complete mid-April.

The funny thing is that the goverment can tell you everything and its up to you if you belive it or not. Do you really want to be vaccinated ? I don't want to . I don't trust them. Imagine: Poaldn have 36 million people. They want to vaccine all of them. You have to get 2 portions. After 3 months we have only 3 million people vaccinated right? and now before they will give vaccine to everyone after 5-6 months you need to get vaccination again, beacuse after 6 months vaccination is not working. So my point is that the goverment have to keep going over and over again it's like infinity loop.

I've never taken the flu vaccine, and generally don't line up for these types of things - but in the case of COVID vaccine I'll take it, because I suspect it will be the only way to return to normal life. If you want to take vacations, go to concerts, etc - I suspect it's going to be close to mandatory in a lot of places.

No clue when I'll get it though, 42 here.

I'm never going to take the covid vaccine. I don't feel at all comfortable about it and reading about the possibility of side effects doesn't help.

[Renee]

My age group will probably only have access after July this year (38).

If I'm able to get on a register before July to go at the end of the day to take any that are being thrown away, I will put my name on that.

More people have now had at least one shot of a vaccine than have had covid, and there are only handfuls of people who have suffered severe side effects, most of who already had risk of allergic reaction or were already severely ill, compared to the millions who have died or are suffering from long term effects of covid.

I have no worries about side effects of the vaccine. Most of the listed side effects are the same as on things like panadol and everyone takes those without a worry in the world. They've also been trialling these mRNA vaccines since SARS so they already have almost 20 years of data on them, and the AZ vaccine uses the same technology as other vaccines I've received over the years.

I'd rather be dead than continue waiting around to live again, so if a vaccine is the only way out of that, I'll take it. All of the things that make me happy are still banned for me even though much of life is back to normal here in Australia and we have no covid, so I just live to work, which IMO is not worth it.

[GPWA Maria]

At the moment here in Cyprus the 70 year old age group are being vaccinated. I hope that I get it before the summer ends

I am totally against taking tablets, I only take back pain medication when I am in a bad way. I will be the first in line when they call my age group

Even when I get the vaccine, I will keep using masks and my keep my distance.

Keep safe guys!

The problem with this mentality is that if you do not truly wish to take it, but do take it anyway to "be normal" then your acquiescence makes it more difficult for those of us who flat out refuse to take it, regardless of whatever consequences our governments attempt to impose upon us for non-compliance.

My body, my choice, I will not take it, get bent.

Are you okay after vaccination?

To be honest, I have not decided if I will get vaccinated.

And I'm not sure I could do it soon...

Most people were vaccinated against their will many moons ago for TB and Polio. There wasn't a huge fuss then because there was no internet. The outcome being polio and TB eradicated in the UK and many other countries.

My dad not so lucky, he caught polio as a child and probably one of the more "lucky" ones. He's spent his whole life disabled. I guess he really ******* wishes there was a polio vaccine when he was young.

[Nenad]

I have not decided yet, to be honest. Here they are pushing a Chinese vaccine, so I'm not 100% sure, as it seems that there are no evidence of 3rd phase for this vaccine.
I might wait for some vaccine that is approved by EU countries, even they are struggling with it...

I just vaccinated my cats. They were very sick after that, high fever, I was really scared, because one of them has FIV (cat HIV). Thank god they both slept 36 hours and now are ok. I called a vet and he said that this reaction after inactivated vaccine definitely should not occur. But it occured. (I vaccinated also third cat of neighbor and that cat was ok.)

I also have an interesting story from hospital, where I was with a guy in his 30s. He was mentally and physically disabled after palsy. Interesting was that he actually got it after and because of vaccinacion. He had some condition where he was supposed not to take the vaccine, but stupid doctor gave it to him and he got it.

Medicine is like SEO. It is important, but in fact the doctors know very little as we know very little how google is doing the SERP. I mean, they save lifes and they know something, but much more they do not know. It is very stupid to trust doctors and it is very stupid not to trust them.

Still about the vaccine the choice is clear if it helps me to travel, I will take it and bear the small risk of getting the chip and becoming a crocodile or monkey. If not, I will not take it most likely. If tests will be as good as vaccine, I will stick with tests.

I also persuaded my mother (71, high pressure) and grandmother (92, many issues) to take it. For them the risks of not taking it are much bigger than taking it.

It is clear that 20-50% of people will not the vaccine in each country. I wonder what they will do with those stubborn people. Will they just jail them forever or they will get free euthanasia? Because people from certain subcultures will get vaccinated and from different will not get vaccinated. Like the orthodox freaks. So the virus will always mutate there.

Therefore I expect some hardcore policy for vaccination. I do not think it is a NWO conspiracy. Some kind of totality will be necessary. Which will be really funny, because all the conspiracy geniuses will be right and then the real fun starts.

If you wonder why I do not take the jab and at the same time I think vaccination is necessary and generally good for society, then I have few reasons:
1. I repeatedly had covid. I believe I have immunity.
2. My lifestyle is being lonely at desperate places and I have a good hygiene
3. It is a black passenger dilemma: it is more important to be amongst vaccinated people than to get vaccinated myself - so unless I am really forced or unless I get free access somewhere I want to go, I will be the black passenger
4. I do not care that much about jabs. In my life I got so many medicaments, many of them were for sure toxic, but I survived. Corona will have much bigger consequences than few millions or tens of millions dead people and hundreds of millions of disabled people. Humanity does not need billions of people, like it or not. As Bolsonaro said: the corona is "ok", because it is solving the problem of ponzi scheme called "a pension system". I know it sounds horrible and that each death is a human life, but the ruthless truth is that people are cancer of this planet and history is just a chain of disasters. Our bigger problem is that the economy will be destroyed and most people will have problem just to survive. For example in Latin America, I do not see a way out even now and the sht did not hit the fan yet.

Both groups, the scared ones and antivaxxers, are annoying. People lose the bigger picture. Even here is the topic vaccination. It is irrelevant. Some people will boost their ego by not being vaccinated. Some people will get a false security by being vaccinated. Then all people will use the jab topic to hate each other and the result is that no policy againt covid is possible, because people are either paralysed by fear of (inevitable) death or they are paralysed by fear of (now inevitable) totality.

I would make another topic, instead of this one. If there is no food:
1. I will kill someone else for food
2. I will dig graves and eat corpses
3. I will kill myself

I dismiss your unrelated anecdotes and arguments with extreme prejudice.

Forcing vaccination on the unwilling is akin to ra_pe.

Keep your foreign fluids out of my body.

My body, my choice, get bent.

[JamieG1981]

My Wife, my Father and my sister-in-law has all had their first vaccination. A few minor side effects and nothing more. Can't wait to get mine and get back to some sort of normality.

This is why the fun is yet to start.

It is truly incredible how people who pay hefty taxes and who swallow tons of lead and microplasts during their life as product of society around them, demand just a merely symbolic piece of freedom that does not exist at all.

Is not better to seek for the freedom?

I am flying accross latin america tomorrow. Now I need to obtain and print 6 different papers. Used to be just a flight ticket not so long time ago. I do not complain. Airplanes will be empty so I can finally use my chemtrails.

Completely agreed, I'm probably not in a high risk group, I don't feel like I need any vaccine but out of the all sh**ty solutions that countries enact and re-enact, it is imho the least annoying one. I probably had COVID in early 2020, felt pretty badly for 2 days and then it went away.

Okay, there are people dying in hospitals, according to data from multiple countries 85 % of those with severe COVID complications are obese, 88 % of deaths are over 70 y.o., 80 % had another condition somewhat tied to the previous two facts (high blood pressure, diabetes, cigarette smokers).

Perhaps I'm cynical but that does not justify the nonsense going on. Just in the last month or so:
- I had to research whether I'm even allowed to travel based on my citizenship and my residency
- a lady shouted at me because I wasn't wearing a mask IN A PARK and therefore "people are dying because of me and I'm an idiot"
- a security guard in a supermarket told me I must wear gloves to enter and basically attacked me when I ignored him (of course there is no such rule to wear gloves but I probably hurt his ego...)
- after researching that I indeed can leave one country and go to another, I cancelled my flight when I learned I'd have to wear a f***ing GPS tracking bracelet on my hand or feet for 14 days after arrival

If a new mutation appears every year and there is no immunity and no vaccine works, is this a permanent state of things until our generation dies out and the next generation learns to live in a different world?

No, I do not want new border controls, I do not want policemen with IQ 90 ask me what I do for a living and where I'm going and why, no I do not want tracking bracelets, I do not want tracking apps in my phone, I do not want to enter my data into some nonsensical government database where the question is not whether it will be abused but WHEN it will be abused. This equals going back to communist Russia 50 years ago.

I will happily get vaccinated if that means I get a confirmation that spares me of the government restrictions - I don't care if the vaccine is produced by Americans, Chinese, Russians or gray aliens. There are no good studies about the effectiveness or mutation immunity anyways.

Though I definitely do NOT want some "digital vaccination passport" or any other "anti-COVID tracing" app or a database determining whether you are the compliant "good guy" or the "defiant" anti-vaxxer. This equals going back to communist Russia combined with Nazi Germany.

I'd rather be dead than live in a world where basically all countries went insane, if you know any countries that haven't yet, please share them.

What I fear most is the application of a quote from M. Friedman: "Nothing is as permanent as a temporary government programme". Many governments in the first world (USA, UK, Western Europe, Australia etc...) realized they can create new laws and enforce them with fines, bans, police or the army. The laws make absolutely no sense? No problem! The laws are unconstitutional? Perfect! The laws will destroy millions of peoples' lives, small businesses, normal childhood of children? Brilliant, now we can justify even more hoarding of power and new laws in the fiscal sector. Vaccine is the least of my worries in that scenario.
