Isn’t it a German vaccine? That to me makes it seems a lot safer and less suspect somehow. I am guessing it will get approved in the EU contemporaneously pretty much with the US.
Ugh. Yeah, I guess we should get prepared for that nonsense.

Maybe they are people like me who will take it in 6 months to a year when time for any long-term effects to be discovered has passed
Tho if I were a front line worker then I’d move that timeline up as we know there are long-term effects from covid and their odds of getting it are much higher.

Essential workers, especially ones in lower-paying jobs, should jump to the front of the line in receiving the vaccine before enough of it is produced for everyone.

Well yeah, this was an issue BEFORE Covid.
Yeah I’m generally an empathetic person, but I’m having a hard time mustering up any empathy for these people. Starting in March, I locked down. We could be out of this if everyone did what most of us here on UP are doing. But their side is not, so our side is stuck still. Because we’re not through it, I’m now stuck doing some work that I don’t feel safe doing.
On top of that, it’s been eight months of being told what a bunch of liberal, snowflake, pussy, stupid, soft, weak, scared, anti-American, pro-communist, mask-loving freedom-hating whiny crybabies we are and being told YoU hAvE tO lIvE yOuR lIfE!!! iTs JuSt ThE fLu, HaRdLy aNyOnE dIes.
So in a way these people are an enemy. Their willful ignorance has endangered my life and the lives of people I love. Their continued willful ignorance continues to extend the crisis. We’ve tried repeatedly to explain it to them nicely and basically begged them to take precautions. They’ve laughed in our faces and called us sheep and stupid.
Now they catch the virus they’ve been screaming is a hoax, and some are dying of something they say wasn’t killing anyone, and I’m supposed to feel sorry for them?
I can’t muster sympathy for them. I’m not happy there’s a bunch of death, but play stupid fucking games, win tragic prizes. May some of their brethren learn to take this more seriously as a result, at least some good could come of that.
I do feel sympathy for their family members who were taking it seriously and are losing loved ones, they certainly don’t deserve that.

These are the same monsters locking kids in cages and refusing to believe reality on a wide array of subjects. They are endangering our very way of life. I have no sympathy for any of them.

If we use the vaccines wisely for at risk populations and around outbreaks combined with contact tracing and mask use then you can eliminate the virus without ever reaching herd immunity. With Trump in charge that would of course never happen but Biden probably is smart enough to do this. Places like NZ and AU have almost eliminated the virus without a vaccine so requiring people entering these countries to be vaccinated and vaccinate elderly and front line medical workers could be enough there. The only issue with that is if there are animals that can get the virus and transmit it back to humans.

Everyone around me doesn’t care about COVID again so I’m sure to be POZZED up in the near future. I’ve been over the top cautious but you can’t fix stupid and I don’t have the option to work from home or not send my kid to daycare (because I can’t work from home).
Here’s to hoping I run good because I’m surrounded mostly by deplorable morons.

I have a couple friends who are neurosurgeons. They’re smart af obviously, but they need their ego chopped at a bit, so I like to needle them about how hard it could be to be a neurosurgeon if Ben Carson is one.

lol, that may mean the $$$ spent on warp speed are gone, and vaccine will have to be covered by something else. gov’t will probably pay for essentials, and everyone else will have to go through insurance. can practically hear mcconnell laughter.
It is just a damn shame that Pfizer didn’t Comey the announcement. You hate to see it.

Travel nursing jobs are now nearing $200/hr. That is almost double what most were paying just a month ago. That is a really ominous sign.
