Anyone actually going to get a vaccine if it comes? Assuming many of the typical tests and hurdles were bypassed to expedite it not sure I’d want to risk that when I’m at low risk for corona

Vaccines aren’t meant solely to protect you. By getting vaccinated you also will protect those around you.

Lol y’all, the vaccine will have been tested on humans WELL before they start giving it to the masses. Yes, I’ll get it.

Yes, they will probably prioritise a bunch of other people before us wfh guys get it though.

I wouldn't want to be a guinea pig for the first batch. We don't even know if it'll come back once it dies down

Annnnd that just about covers it... we’re complying about everything now. Even the vaccine.

*complaining 🤦‍♂️

Probably not the first round as they'll probably skip steps just to get it out there ASAP. Also, there are over 30 strains of Covid-19 and counting so it's too soon to tell what vaccine would really work.
