By the time I’m offered it I probably won’t need it (because most people will have had it)

So maybe not, but that’s not because I’m worried about the vaccine (it’s safe), but more if I can avoid a needle, I will

I mean realistically, there’s no way of knowing the long term effects of covid either..I’d rather take my chances with a vaccine

Agreed, theres cases of people not getting their smell and taste back and even people's lungs which are really messed up from it. I know a guy who got covid back last summer and he still can't taste food it's just texture to him and he's only mid 20s. These are actual known long term effects of covid

Honestly people will think this sounds minor but it's ****ing miserable. I have a sinus issue that means I lose my sense of taste every time I get a cold - it's actually one of the first symptoms (I eat something and it tastes like cardboard, and I know that I'll wake up the next day feeling crap)...

... it's awful. Eating at all becomes just a chore, my wife has to encourage me to have my dinner at all because I just can't be arsed sitting feeling like I'm chewing on air for half an hour. I get really frustrated after 2 or 3 days of it and the longest it ever lasts is about 5 days... I honestly can't imagine it for months on end.

Yeah my friend was really depressed about it for a while there afraid it'll never come back but he's sorta almost okay with it now? He says less takeaways but I can't imagine not being able to taste for that long. Half a year now at this stage. Crazy

Haah I originally said vegan friendly but forgot pfizer and moderna actually didn't skip animal trials even though that's the word on the street

When presidents and monarchs are getting it you can be fairly sure it's safe. Also my wife's already had it so yeah I'll take it when it's offered .

Can't ****ing win

They tend to want to just live with it with no lockdowns, pretty much sacrifice the old and people with underlying health conditions cus they want to go on the piss. 2 million+ deaths a year to this is nothing to them

And yet if everyone had that same attitude , I'm pretty sure the ANTI vaccinators would still be angry and moan about the situation .

I understand people being worried,but doctors and medical professionals themselves have took the vaccine with no serious side effects , so I wish people would stop being so sceptical .

Exactly, was friends with a guy who is into every Conspiracy theory you could think of. Not friends with him anymore because he just insults everyone over it and I called him out on FB over him constantly posting about hydroxychloroquine. Anyway back in December 2019 when covid was first found he was posting how it's airborne and he was wearing a mask around town and he was shocked we weren't taking it serious.
Once lockdowns and that happened he suddenly was posting saying it was fake and how it's just the flu and blah blah. Just shows that they just want to look like they're smarter than everyone else and everyone is the sheep and are asleep except them.
Puts a bad name in actual Conspiracy theoriests who dive deep into JFK, aliens etc like harmless ****. Bring back flat earthers!!
Sorry for going off topic

[smudgie]

Ready and waiting.

[Alf]

Probably not. Unless I'm pinned down and forced it or if I really need to take it for some emergency.

I can survive without travelling to other countries, I've survived for 43 years so far on that front. A few more won't make a difference.

[rusticgal]

Without a doubt....

What's your reason for not taking it when available?

I couldn't really give you a good reason, maybe lack of my trust, or maybe it could be paranoia? All I know is, I don't fancy sticking things into me without my full commitment to it. I got nothing against anybody who has it, I'm just not that bothered and that's about it. Who knows, maybe next week I'll think differently.

[GoldHeart]

Well until i hear evidence and proof that it has terrible effects , i'm going to trust it .

Why don't you trust it? Were you vaccinated for other things?

I'm just happy to volunteer to go to the back of the queue. And when it comes to my turn, maybe I'll take it, I'll deal with that issue when it comes to it. Just be thankful for volunteers like me, letting you go first.

Djokovic has been the most complete athlete on the planet for over a decade and he swears against having things put into his body, got to go with stance haven't you Alf? we will get a bunker somewhere like 10 cloverfield lane and come out when the lethal side effects have finished the UK off

[caprimint]

No because... there's no point. Majority of people that covid affects are either old, obese or those with underlying health conditions.

But you can catch it and pass it to the immunosuppressed that can't have the vaccine.

And there is nothing to say that a healthy person can't be seriously affected by this albeit rare, or end up with 'long covid' that affects all age groups.
