Would you vaccinate yourself against CV

[LaPerla]

Would you be the first to vaccinate yourself/children against CV when the vaccine is available?

To all those who wouldn’t have it(unless for a medical reason), why not just go out then? You obviously don’t care about catching the mere flu?

Thousands have died so far. In a year, we may be counting in hundreds of thousands or in millions. Countries that have tanked their economies to stop the spread may well block travel for the unvaccinated. I am just saying that your opinion will be based on the facts then, not on the facts now.

yes for me definitely. I've had scores of vaccinations over the years, more so than average from travelling and working in hospitals. Never had any issue or side affects except sore arm with the flu jab. Will prob gibe to teenage children too.

I have more concerns about vaccinations and children's developing / immature immune systems but even then, mine are not tiny any morensonprob will, if its offered and they havent done anything stupid like pump it full of heavy metals or something.

Yes. And my kids too.

Some Christians believe that the vaccine will also mean having a chip implanted to show who has and has not been vaccinated ( Bill gates has spoken of this) and this will be the mark of the beast mentioned in the book of revelation

Those people need to stay off the wacky baggy.

They are saying that the antibody test will be available within days - initially to front line health workers, but in time you will be able to buy it over the counter. Cost of production about five quid, though there would be markup, of course.

So when the vaccine comes, I would pay to have the antibody test, and if negative, I would have the vaccine like a shot. In fact, I’ll get an antibody test as soon as they become widely available.

To not overwhelm NHS with too many cases at the same time by spreading CV to vulnerable people?

Perhaps we won't have a choice in the matter

@LaPerla oh I agree, it wouldn't be possible if we were doing it alone but I think there are quite a few different countries teams all working together. Which is great as well and long may that continue

We know a lot about Coronaviruses. Just not this one. There is a lot of expertise currently in making vaccines for respiratory diseases. The challenge is logistical not scientific.

I would not have it straight away. I would wait a year or more then join the queue. My dc are less than 10yr so they can wait.

I would watch and wait. I am pro vaccine but like you understand the process that happens to get the vaccine out into the public. It's normally a very lengthy process for good reason.

To not overwhelm NHS with too many cases at the same time by spreading CV to vulnerable people? but there will be some people who can’t have the vaccine, if people choose not to have the vaccine isn’t that the same risk?
We vaccinate school children with the flu jab currently to protect the elderly.

@PlywoodPlank The only reason I would ever be persuaded to have it, would be if I was refused entry to Russia. It's the only country I've ever wanted to visit. That won't be for a good few years. If it's required for that purpose, then yes I will have it. If not, then it will still be a no from me, chances are I will have had it by then anyway

I would have it. HCP, used to getting jabbed. Vaccines are about doing the responsible thing and protecting others.

Fuck yeah. I'd jab it in my arse if it out an end to this.

I'm a frontline worker, so if and when they test for antibodies:
If I have had it, then no I won't
If I haven't, then yes.

I would and so would DH . I would want our adult DC to wait. Let the grandparents try it out.

Perhaps we won't have a choice in the matter
Of course you'll have a choice.
People can choose not to vaccinate their children against far worse diseases, so unless they want to make all vaccinations compulsory, why would they this one?

I would have it, not only for myself but to protect those who can't have it for whatever reason.

@NotEverythingIsBlackandwhite Do you take medication?

@RU562341
I think it is a sensible way.
But I guess we’ll have to pay for the antibodies test because it’s not likely to be cost effective for the NHS to offer it before vaccination... I don’t know

*No, the vaccine will be rushed out without proper testing. There could be bad side effects. Neither me or my kids will have it. Especially not for somthing that for us would be a mild illness that we've probably already had.

Tammer flu made people diabetic.*

It will be tested. It's being accelerated partly because of work they did on similar vaccines meant it started from a place further down the line.
Do you have a source for the tamiflu= diabetic claim? I've never heard of that.

LaPerla I'm hoping that, as a frontline worker, the gov. will stick to their word and offer us antibody testing. If not, I am willing to pay for it privately for piece of mind once available.

Yes, as soon as my GP says it's ready for me !

I'm 63 and have had the flu vaccine for over 20 years, ever since I once had "proper flu" and took 4 months to regain former gym fitness
