Will you have the COVID vaccine if offered on 21:01 - Dec 3 by GloryHunter
Funnily enough, the anti-vaxxer movement seems to be strongest in France - the nation that gave the world Louis Pasteur. You reach a stage where you think the world is becoming more educated and scientific, and things can only ever get better, but the slide back down the snake to the Dark Ages is only ever a couple of mouse clicks away.
Three vaccines Pfizer/BioNTech---Moderna and Oxford-AstraZeneca
The Pfizer/BioNTech as everybody knows is the vaccine that we'll be getting first as to date it is the only one so far that has achieved *Peer Approval* the other two are still going through the Peer Approval process. I've read the Emergency authorisation process on the Pfizer/BioNTech and as far as I'm concerned the sooner that is injected into the upper muscle of my left or right arm the better, they are saying there is 21 days before you get the second jab.
I'm bloody useless at doing links but there is a wealth of info out there that give out a wealth of information about the three vaccines mentioned above.
To the best of my knowledge both Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna are profit making Companies who have been quite open about that whereas Oxford-AstraZeneca are I believe producing the vaccine 'at cost' I stand to be corrected.
Human beings are naturally cautious about change or 'things' we aint used too but for me these vaccines are the only way we'll get out of this mess.
This vaccine gives me a chance that I didn't have a week ago, I'm thankful that I've got that chance.

I`ve read the Pfizer and Moderna ones come in around the £30 mark, not sure if that`s for both shots, where as the Oxford one is £3, again both hits or each. If true, as well as its lower temperature requirments that would go along way in helping those countries around the globe that need a cheap alternative.

I choose fertility on the basis that in the document released today that the vaccine shouldn`t be given to pregnant woman, or if women are going to get vaccinated should wait for at least 2 months until trying. This to me implies a lot of further testing needs to be carried out, and in the meantime where does that leave pregnant woman for upto the next 9 months.
JVT was talking about this on the radio today, it’s not that the vaccine has been identified as dangerous to pregnant women or to have an impact on fertility, it’s because the vaccine has never been tested in pregnant women - they were deliberately excluded from the trials.

At 53 with no underlying health conditions I’m probably a little bit down the list, but as Ted says, if this means we can get back to some kind of normality then jab away.

I'd be happy to have all three of them at once. Here's my arm.

So I would be firmly in the 'yellow segment' cohort. Most vaccines take years to be developed safely, so there is no doubt this is being rushed through. Let nobody be fooled that it is for the greater good of the word's health either, although of course that is the drum the multinational drug companies will be banging. If there wasn't billions of dollars of profits to be made, none of them would be busting a gut to get this out there . As for the assertion that it should be 'compulsory' for health care workers and the like, that is a ludicrous suggestion, considering the unknown quantity we are dealing with. Nobody should be placed in such an insidious position. We are all sick and tired of the virus and can't wait to get back to normal, but after 10 months of living with it, now is not the time for reckless decision -making. Patience - just like following our beloved Rangers - is required more than ever.

I'd say fast tracked rather than rushed. This is the first time humans have faced a novel pandemic this serious and at the same time have had the capability to produce a vaccine for it. As in times of war, research and development is turbocharged.
It feels like nearly all the opposition to the vaccine is from people looking for reasons to oppose it because they are already hesitant about or opposed to vaccines rather than use their critical reasoning to form a rational, evidence-based opinion.

Then again, Britain is the country that gave the world Edward Jenner. When a statue was put up to him in Trafalgar Square in 1858 the protests from anti-vaxxers got it moved within 4 years. (it's now in Kensington Gardens)
A lot of the complaints were actually from the military, since all the other Traf Sq statues are of generals (none of 'em anyone you've heard of) - as someone said at the time, you had to keep the generals there because they killed people, you couldn't have someone in there who'd saved lives.

I'm over 70 and had two heart attacks that left a few residual problems. If I catch the lurgy then I would struggle so the vaccine would be the lesser of two evils whatever the outcome. Although I do have reservations on it affecting my fertility.

Obviously I've no idea whether this thread is representative of all members of this forum, but I'm heartened by the fact that the great majority are open to the vaccine.
Just as soon as I'm eligible, I'll be off down to the clinic first thing.

If your in a high risk group ie age,medical condition etc it might be worth a chance but for anyone else to take an untested vaccine is not very wise.For most people there is no need for a vaccine as they have an immune system which is more than capable of fighting off this virus.At the very least wait for a couple of years to see how this vaccine works.
"For most people there is no need for a vaccine as they have an immune system which is more than capable of fighting off this virus"
But you get that you could still carry and transmit the virus to everyone you meet. And kill them. Don't you?

The whole of the world science has been thrown at this to the exclusion of much else . How do you think China build an airport in a month, because they have thousands of tradesmen on site . That is how it has come through so quickly .
I hope the airlines make it a condition of travel that passengers are vaccinated , I hope that hospitals make vaccinations a condition of entry . We shouldnt make it compulsory , that is not a road to follow but making it anti social and selfish I have no problem with .
The anti MMR doc has been struck off . I have heard no health proffessional saying this one may be unsafe
Astra have said they will make no profit from it.

You asked what was ment by "Untested".
The basis of my question asks you, what is the long term test results on fertility. I think that may be quite an important question should you be wanting to start a family.

I see what's going on now.
There are a fair few people on here have gone on about reducing over-population. Here it comes, maybe.

I’m as near to the back of the queue as anyone but it’s not about me. Sign me up if it’s up for grabs though I doubt I’ll have that choice for months if not a year.

I haven't read anywhere if this vaccine is required yearly?
They don't know yet how long immunity will last after the vaccine is injected and also don't know whether the vaccine will stop the spread of the virus.
There was an interesting section in the BBC news last night where someone was saying that even after the vaccine is injected into our arms it may still be able to exist in our noses. So can still be spread.
