As I am not in the medical profession, retired and a loner; not having a lot of personal contact is not as bad for me. I'm more frustrated with no gardening, riding my bike outdoors, etc as winter temps set in. Things in the county were not too bad but after mid September there has been a huge amount of community spread especially in the city where I reside.
Almost all in the apartment complex where I live are in the at risk group (55+ low income or those with disabilities - the amount of sugar these people consume is scary) and hopefully will get the vaccine. I am sure the trump supporters won't, getting them to wear the mask and wear it correctly is a problem.
Personally I'm not sure I want to get the vaccine. In April of 2019 I had a very weird upper respiratory infection, many symptoms like what they describe for COVID-19. While the chest x-ray(s)showed no pneumonia the dry cough became mucusy and there was no air movement. A breathing treatment and a z-pak turned me around and I started feeling better. A lung function review in August shows I have COPD and my asthma was now back (no problems for over 16 years). Gut issues flared up badly and food sensitivity rose. 18 months later a daily inhalor works and the gut issues are 95% better or resolved but certain foods may never return to my diet and I still do not know what the fuck I had in April of 2019.
Thank you for posting the article, I can see your concern. Thanks for letting me rant.

There seems to be no doubt in the minds of many people that the development of an "effective vaccine" has resulted in many corners being cut and of course that is something of a rarity when it is considered that many drug trials usually last years before a drug is released to the public.

In the UK the NHS is enlisting the assistance of celebrities with social media to ensure the uptake of the new vaccine by the general public. That is seen as a form of social engineering by some people whilst others will probably eagerly queue to get vaccinated.

I asked a friend who is a medical doctor if he is looking forward to being vaccinated and his response was "Hmm!".......

I work on covid taskforce first in line

I work in a hospital and I will get the vaccine the first fucking nanosecond its available. I haven't seen a single reported side effect that's worse than the permanent lung damage and long term effects of this virus. You wanna wait around? Be my guest. Leaves more for those of us who need it to do our jobs.

Why would the FDA grant an EUA with such 'flimsy' data ?
