Somebody PLEASE Convince Me

Lots of good inside this thread so I’ll just add that I know a lot of very well regarded physicians and EVERYONE of them are advocates for the vaccines and have each taken it as soon as it was available to them.

Just talked to pops, 2 hrs after his shot. He said, aside from an increasing, distinct urge to eat human flesh, everything is okay.
Im 50. I will get the vaccine. Anyone over 65 should get it.
But the idea that no scientists are skeptical is wrong. I’ve seen many biologists say that there could be long term effects. Probably not, but definitely possible. There is just no way to know. Chances are low enough that it is definitely worth it to me. But maybe not to young people.

Get the damn vaccine. Anti vax people are idiots
I am a doctor. I got my second dose Thursday. I am much more concerned about the virus than the vaccine.
Just make sure you get the Pfizer vaccine, and you can get a two for one with Viagra.
But seriously, and I don't mean this to be an ass, but at your age, why would you not get it. If you do have side effects, most of which are mild to simply an annoyance, they sure beat death. I have a comorbidity in that I take immunosuppressive medicine and will have to for life. I am 47, and I'd much rather be alive than not. Go for it bud, we like having you around.
Now, can I get a Big Green Egg for my poignant advice?
you're infinitely more likely to be killed or permanently damaged by the virus than the vaccine
Your head is up your ass on this one. No one knows the long term effects of either.
I'm curious, what are the potential long term side effects of a vaccine?
I've only heard 2 things to watch out for mentioned from credible sources: the potential for an allergic reaction, and the potential you receive a live virus.
What else is realistically on the table?
I hear you bro. At my age I don't even buy green bananas anymore.
Thanks!
I am convinced.
My appointment is at 12:20.
Going to lunch at 1:00.
If I am still alive after lunch, I will post the good news.

Dude if you want to get it, get it. I’d rather catch Covid and recover then have some crazy neurological issue or cancer down the road. But good luck. Tbh none of us know the right way to go here, even the medical experts. We will find out for sure in a few decades I guess
Why should you get the vaccine? Well you may have a bad covid experience and have all body systems wrecked. Or you might die.
get the vaccine
get the vaccine
Life is a gamble of percentages.
I plan on taking it because if I can’t handle the vaccine the real thing would really doom me.
I feel sorry for your family and friends since they have to text you in complete sentences. I guess being an English teacher is a job you obviously take home with you
The current vaccines on the market are not live virus. They are mRNA vaccines which are not live virus.
I don’t recommend your plan B. I mean, it was not the worst thing I’ve ever been through, but effectively being a leper is not enjoyable.
Not a thing. I love English teachers. But this a freaking message board!!! There was no reason to make the comment except that you didn’t like what I had to say
But what if you catch covid and die?
Or what if you catch covid and that leads so someone else catching covid and dying?
So far no one has died from this vaccine, but your logic is that you'd rather RISK DEATH or OTHER'S DEATHS than take a vaccine because of some potential stuff 50 years from now.
My wife had a mild case at the end of June and first of July...2 days of fever, GI and body aches. Smell still isn’t back, hair is falling out and we have thought she was having a heart attack twice. Thorough checkup from cardiologist and it appears this is simply post Covid residual.
99.7% will survive, but with what side effects. Same can be said of vaccine but it saves the potential on the front end.
I will not get a vaccine until enough people have taken it to assure me it's safe. I read this week almost 40% of health care workers are waiting for the same reason.
@El Cucuy
Start this video at the 2 min mark. It's DR Fauci literally telling you why these vaccines are safe, and how there are basically not chances of crazy long term effects from it down the road that we don't already know about.

Your reading comprehension is up your ass. I said we know MORE about the effects of the virus than the vaccine.
I hear you man. Don’t think this hasn’t crossed my mind I just know too many people who have had mild cases and there are so many ways to fight this now. I know people who are so unhealthy -that I knew they were doomed -pull through without a problem. Hey it’s still a free country for the time being. We are free for now to make our own decisions. If you are vaccinated then you don’t have worry about whether I take it or not. I respect your opinion on this though because maybe you’re right. BUt for now I’d rather take my chances
Im generally not a “glass half empty” guy, so I’m not one to think the vaccine will give me cancer, but you do you. Sorry I triggered you.
Triggered me? Please. I triggered you because I put a period where you didn’t want it put.
