So who is going to get one of the vaccines for Covid-19 that might be available under an Emergency Use Act before Election Day?

I feel like it makes the most sense for at-risk people to get the vaccine first. For us, being low-risk means we can continue to practice safety measures until the vaccine has been tested more thoroughly.

Absolutely getting a flu shot though.

Not sure why the most vulnerable population should be the first to get a vaccine that may have horrible side effects but we haven’t tested enough to determine them. Seems a little sacrificial

I won’t be getting one until they’ve gone thru proper Phase 3 trials and demonstrably show efficacy and safety.

I tried to volunteer for Moderna’s Phase 3 trials, but was rejected because I did not “regularly interact with the public a minimum of 5 days per week.”

likefunny

Haha, no. But I am high risk and on a client site three days per week.

Depends on my options. If the other one is to be on lockdown forever, then sure why not

Plus the concern with fast approval isn’t side effects, it’s having enough time to prove efficacy.

What we want what’s medically and practically possible are different things. I admit I haven’t read up on the Emergency Powers suggestion so you can take my opinion for what it’s worth, but my understanding is that there’s the regular process that can take years, then there’s an expedited process, and this is a super accelerated emergency process.

It’s physically impossible for them to conduct the same level or duration of testing in this timeframe.

That is not to say that it’s impossible for it to be safe and effective, because of course that’s possible, but the regular process is what it is for a reason. I will still wait and see because that is a choice that I have available to me.

Too rushed for me. Will wait on this one. Definitely getting flu shot though.

Copywriter 1, vaccine development happens more quickly during the first-ever global pandemic. Things can always get done faster when people put their mind to it. Being faster has nothing to do with anything. The sole question is what corners are cut and how much they matter. I, for one, will trust Fauci and not myself, as he is a doctor and I am not.

Had this question pop up a lot recently - discussed here many times before, but want to see if we can quantify the discussion a bit. Let’s assume the vaccine is at 70% shots in arms by 4th of July (‘21), and 80-85% by Labor Day. In 2022, are we back to 3/4/5, or do you think parts of the remote culture will stick going forward?
