Raylan Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Doesn't necessarily mean ready by then but read unofficially that at least on vaccine will submit results to FDA by Oct 22nd for approval. But that is just unofficial scuttlebutt and could just be crap, just as this be ready by date doesn't mean a roll out then. https://nypost.com/2020/09/02/cdc-tells-states-to-be-ready-to-distribute-covid-19-vaccine-by-nov-1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I look at this as kind of like buying a first model year car. I think I will hold off on the vaccine a while after it’s released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I remember the cases of Guillan-Barre syndrome that were supposedly caused by the Swine Flu vaccine in 1976. More recent research tends to dispute the vaccine as a cause. But I don’t want to be the first in line for a vaccine that has not been thoroughly tested. The frying pan is not yet hot enough for me to risk jumping into a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 After being injected and taking pills in the army before going to Iraq I prefer to never take another vaccine again. The flu shot gets me sick so I will do without. My doctor says I probably already have antibodies in my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubious Don #56333 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I'm one of them guys stopped getting the flu shot because.....ummmmm......I dunno why LOL. Don't remember. Might have been a bad reaction one year, no idea. Been a while since I had one. Not taking the flu shot is kind of like a running joke between me and my doc because he knows my background and the second thing Uncle Sam likes to do to new recruits is seventy-eleven different shots. I did get my tetanus booster recently, the hepB series (from work) and a couple different pneumonia shots. I see my doc next week for routine stuff and I have already notified him I will be accepting the regular flu shot this year. (I think he's looking forward to it, LOL.) I will not however, be taking any covid vaccine for the forseeable future. I well remember all the times their vaccines caused some weirdo malady and I'm not gonna be no crash test dummy for dot gov. Oh, and they can't make me. Like to see'em try. I'm bout purt near fed up with their fake pandemic anyhoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Because there will be a very long line of 350 million people and probably a very short supply of vaccine. So even if you want to get it quickly, chances are you won’t be able to.

Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I don't get a flu shot. I have never taken it to my knowledge. I figure I would rather take my changes than take it and have it almost kill me. The last one my older sister got made her sick for weeks and she end up in the Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis, MN in bad shape from the side effects and they liked to never got her straightened out and she came too close for comfort of not getting back home. If they come up with a vaccine, I might be in the back of the line or at least see what happens to the first million or so that take it. Then I will check with the doc as he is not a big pill and shot pusher like several I have had in the past. Hopefully, there will be a good outcome down the road from this mess.

There will be plenty...for everyone in Congress, Federal employees, State Government “officials”, State Employees and socially active Actors, Actresses, Media types and Musicians.

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 There are ongoing conversations as to who will get a vaccine first. From the "most at risk" to the least. The definitions of each group will become "political". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think Schumer, Pelosi, AOC and few other select dems should set an example and get it on day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
