COVID-19 VACCINATION PROGRAM
 

Do you intend to get the COVID-19 vaccine when available? And what category of phase do you fall into?

The CDC was supposed to define three “Phases” of distribution and specify who are is in each phase but after Phase 1a(Health care personnel and residents of long-term care facilities), it’s a very fuzzy definition. They made a few attempts but I think they’re having problems with pissing some people off. They came out today and announced that the health care personnel and residents of long-term care facilities are going to get it first and said nothing else
(https://nypost.com/2020/12/01/cdc-pa...2810-720669482).

Anyway here are my phases for the purpose of this poll:

Phase 1: Health care personnel and residents of long-term care facilities
Phase 2: Essential workers, those with high-risk medical conditions, adults 65+, racial minority groups, incarcerated in prison, homeless in group shelters.
Phase 3: Everyone else including healthy adults under 65.

I said no, since I'm incarcerated and a racial minority.


I will say that I'll likely be hesitant and reluctant to rush for a goobermint vaccine at first. If it doesn't kill too many people, I may take the plunge. I'll watch and see.

No, thanks, no vaccines for me. Those who take it will be protected from those who don't. So...nothing to worry about for vaccine fans. :coffee:

Are you anti vaccine in general or just this one?

Yes, in general. I'm particular about what goes into my gorgeous, muscular, athletic body. :popcorn:

Explains a lot thanks!

how many vaccines do you take?

Is this more of that patented humor you’re known for?

nope, just curious

linked page has 17 common diseases CDC recommends vaccinating for and another 9 in specific situations. I suspect most people reading this are current in less than a third.

Is perhaps your lack of clear honest thinking about your body, affecting your decision?

some of the reasons why people in other countries throughout the world are jealous of us is because we have constantly gone above the call of duty in respect to various studies, research and space exploration programs.

if you believe you live in the best country in the world, and are certain that the decisions that are made by our leaders has only our best interests at heart, you then get this vaccination. if you don't, you step back and reason things out in your mind.

when it came to the Polio vaccine, Elvis Pressley went on the Ed Sullivan show at the time, rolled up his sleeve and was given the shot in front of millions of people with a smile on his face.

For the record, I'll take the vaccine, since my wife is a very high risk candidate. But I've known several people firsthand, who've suffered polio, one was my best friend, a girl cousin, also a neighbor girl who lived four houses down the street from us.

We were mandated to get the polio vaccine in order to attend public schools, the only other vaccines we've recd was the flu vaccine, diptheria,and whooping cough. If the measles, mumps and chickenpox vaccines had been available, I'd have gotten all of them, since I had all three of them.

The ACLU is fighting for inmates to become a priority vaccination group. Right after illegals.

One problem with phases for the entire country, I believe, is they'll have to take into account how endemic a location is. States like Vermont and Maine are still relatively low. Should a senior in Newark, NJ get the vaccine before one in Vermont?

Do we know how long this vaccine is supposed to last? The CDC claims that the flu vaccine lasts six months. But one only gets the flu vaccine during flu season. At this point the COVID season seems to be all year round. The CDC also claims that the flu shot might not protect you from the flu but will alleviate symptoms(such as save your life) should you get the flu even though vaccinated. Will they be claiming the same thing here?

My wife and I intend to get vaccinated as soon as possible. I had to spend a whole summer in the furnace called Florida. Hope I don't have to do that again.

I'm volunteering for the Novavax clinical trial which should be starting up in the US shortly. They are on the verge of completing Phase 3 in the UK now, with results due soon.

There's also a chance, however, that the FDA may accept the UK data and waive a US trial before issuing an EUA for their vaccine.

Approval given today in GB.
FDA slow to move here until after GEORGIA senate elections.

FDA = F**** Democrat A****s

You bet your arse I'm getting it - 5 cases here and we are in lock down. Can't leave our rooms, two tests already this week.

Idiot ACLU says PRISONERS should be top priority! What useless morons. GUARDS yes. Prisoners are no threat - they are already in quarrantine.

The FDA advisory panel meets on Dec 10 for the Pfizer vaccine and a week later for the Moderna vaccine. I suspect you'll see approval very shortly (within a week or so) after those panels meet (assuming the panels gives a thumbs up, which should happen). There's nothing unusual in this process. Actually, it's fast-tracked. I can give you other examples if you like.

Well, I spoke too soon.....just tested positive.

Shit.

I mean this sincerely...best wishes. You got this. If you can mix it up in off topic all these years, you can beat this.

Best wishes. Hang in there Tom.

I’m...EVERYONE HERE is pulling for you, Tom!

Chuck Grassley recovered and he's like 187 or something, load up on vitamin D and Zinc. Good luck.

Recently, an elderly friend of mine was having leg and walking problems prior to and after having had a pacemaker inserted at a hospital. He also has controlled diabetes. He was sent to a rehab. facility for physical therapy. While at the facility, he eventually tested positive for Covid-19 and had to be quarantined to another area of the building. After 20 days of continued physical therapy and having no Covid-19 symptoms, he was sent home. He was told that he did not need to be tested for Covid-19 again.

Remember Tom, most people fully recover from a positive Covid-19 test; odds are good that you'll be one of them.

Hang in there..."Tough times don't last, tough people do." http://calltothepost.yuku.com/forum_...2ef74e28b4.gif

boxcar wants to die and meet Jesus. :rip:

IMHO those who refuse to get vaccinated and then die from COVID are committing suicide. Suicides do not get to go to heaven.

Who says?

No problem. My policy has worked quite well for me over the years. My wife, too, for that matter. :coffee:

Best wishes to get well very soon Tom... Nothing but excellent karma for you going forward.

I'm a big believer in the adage: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Good ol' fashioned common sense.:coffee:

Who told you that: The Catholic Church? :rolleyes:

Besides, I'm living in faith that God will protect me. Thus far, he certainly has.

If you feel like you did before the test, probably pretty lousy from your setback but no worse that positive just means that your number means more moneys to them. We know that you have a tough slog ahead of you, but we also know you will forge ahead with all the tenacity that you can muster. We are all praying for you to get strong.

I am very sorry to hear that. On the plus side, you are in a place where there is medical care. I wish you only the best Tom.

Southern Methodist.

That won't last. :rip:

Did you get the polio vaccine? Smallpox? Measles?

Do you fix a small leak in your roof or wait for it to grow larger?
Change the oil in your car or wait for it to seize up?

Barack 0bama said he might take a shot on live television




I would like to see that but is he in phase 1? or phase 3?

Best wishes, Tom. :)

OBUMMER
 

I'm sure he considers himself absolutely essential

Im a truck driver and would take the vaccine

Next year I may take it on my own but I may be forced to take it.

He is - to the advancement of racism and terrorism around the world.
Hope the POS gets Covid.

You mean like the current POS, and 50 or so of his little suck up assistant POS's did?

Nice to have you back Tom.
