I would probably at least try to get it. You have in person interactions with patients, you have a kid on the way who you want to be around and in full health for, and you have a wife with some comorbidities and who I’m guessing can’t get the vaccine (even if it were generally available) because of her pregnancy.
This pandemic has seen lots of morally questionable acts, but you getting the shot if it is being made available to you is not one of them.
agree with trolly. Twisting yourself into knots trying to satisfy a hypothetical vs a known situation where you can protect yourself and someone who’s at risk and may not have a chance to get vaccinated soon is not debatable. get it done and let us know how it goes.
I agree that you should get the shot. They’ve determined its your time to get it, so get it, and don’t feel guilty. Your kindness and thoughtfulness though says a lot about you.
You should defintely get it man come on, think of your wife not some old rando that you think you’re taking a dose from.
You have to have in person one on one sessions with people occasionally and this gets you to the front of the vaccine line? What about all of the people that have to spend 8-10 hours per day in rooms and buildings surrounded by others, nice system we got here.
As someone super stressed because moms is super likely to die if she gets this and isn’t super high on the list, get this shit asap. Zero moral issues here.
What was distribution like for the polio vaccine when it came out? The old folks I’ve spoken to about it said they got it in school and there wasn’t really a choice involved.
Got tested Monday at 3:10 pm after being around someone that tested positive for about 5 minutes and hovering in the mid 99s. Came back NEG via text exactly 33 hours ago at 12:10 am. Anyone else get results at this hour?
Someone I’ve met once ran a million errands on Thanksgiving despite having some early stuffiness that she could tell was the beginning of an illness.
Then had twelve relatives over for Thanksgiving dinner.
She pozzed everyone at the dinner except her daughter. Her brother just passed away and a couple others are quite sick. (They are Filipinos; Caffeine says anecdotally they seem to take it worse.)
