If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

Will you take the Covid Vaccine ?

Post by philco »

The first of the Covid 19 vaccines have been shipped and will soon become available. I'm just curious as to what you folks think about receiving that new vaccine.

I intend to take it as soon as it's available to me. What about you ?

I will.
Working in a school, I don't know if they would make it mandatory or not. But I have no issue getting the shot.

I don't intend to take it.
I don't want to be injected with anything!
I am very healthy. Don't take one medication and I expect, with Gods grace, I'll continue living healthy for a good long time.

I will and so will my wife. I’m planning to ask my doctor first though, due to a drug I take which suppresses my immune system. I know, that’s counter-intuitive but that’s my plan. Assuming he says it’s okay I’ll be getting it as soon as possible.

My grandparents and I are chomping at the bit to get it. I don't know when we'll get it here, however.

I'm still trying to decide. My brother works in a hospital in Minnesota and he will be taking the vaccine. The CDC will email him a survey every day for the first week to track his progress and symptoms.

After the first week they will survey him once a week for 6 more weeks. Then contact him occasionally for 6 more months.

He's taking the vaccine on 12/21 and I think I'll wait a bit to get some feedback from him before I do anything.

I've heard, so not sure of the validity, the vaccine will be delivered in stages.
Stage 1 - hospital workers, front line folks
Stage 2 - teachers
So on down the line.

While I'm not a teacher, I do work in a school. Our director, who mentioned the stages (and he admitted to not being sure of the validity), isn't sure if educational support staff would get into the same stage as the teachers.
Take care and God bless,

I'll consider getting it AFTER all members of Congress and those promoting the administration of a anti-virus vaccine that has little short-term testing and zero long-term testing (Faucci, the Gate$e$, Zuckertird, etc) have verifiably had the vaccine injected for a while.

I plan to get it; more for the sake of my good friend's very elderly parents, who I'm often in contact with, than for my own sake.

By the time us regular folks are able to be vaccinated, I'm thinking we'll have a better idea of what the side-effects, if any, might be and the overall safety.

Nope...I've researched and read too much about any covid vaccine and will not be injected with it. Lots of side effects that don't sound good and too many pharmaceutical companies making it and one does NOT know which dose they'll get from whom.

I would take Ivermectin medication in a heartbeat. The research, study and testing on this is has been GREAT. It keeps one from getting covid, period.

Haven't decided yet, never had a flu shot but I don't get sick very often. I do want my son to get the shot though.

No, I have an "O" blood type. I have spent extensive time around 20 to 25 people wbo have tested positive, both mask wearers and non mask wearers. I was told by my Dr that if I haven't had it by now, I probably won't get it. If I do, I plan on being one of the 99.85% who live to tell about it, rather than have an unproven foreign substance injected into my body.

You are either going to get it or you won't, regardless. Here is a nugget for the "trust the science" proponents....San Francisco has 97% compliance when it comes to wearing a mask, the positive rates are increasing there at levels similar to other parts of the country.

I am being absolutely sincere. The more people that take the vaccine, the faster this pandemic will be over and we can get the world back to normal. I see it as no different than vaccinating my kids for polio & smallpox, or getting my annual flu shot.
