First of all and out 2 hours ago, the Moderna vaccine study shows that out of 15,000 people that got the vaccine, only 11 people got the virus and of the 15,000 people that got a placebo shot, 185 got the virus. In addition, of the 11 people that got the vaccine and then caught the virus, none of those cases were serious.There is evidence today that the new covid vaccines could have some rough side effects. They're afraid people won't get the second shot due to the side effects.
I don't see a way to realistically enforce them either.
Definitely something to consider. Hard to plan to spend a day or two in bed with side effects. Would be nice to have that luxury, but essential workers don't really get to just not show up for work for a few days.
Any vaccine has inherent risks-even something as mild as that for seasonal flu. The risks, however, are minimal. Have you ever read the list of side-effects and contraindications that come with the leaflets you get with over the counter meds like, for example, aspirin?Even worse to spend the rest of your life with RA or MS, or other horrible autoimmune disorder.
The incidence of significant side effects is low - a couple percent. Some people can get high fevers and flu like symptoms that last a day or two, but its better than getting sick for two weeks.There is evidence today that the new covid vaccines could have some rough side effects.

The long term side-effects of ALL the new vaccines currently in development are unknown. None have been administered except to trial subjects.The long term side effects of mRNA vaccines are COMPLETELY UNKNOWN. This is a completely new kind of vaccine and has never been used on humans before. There is NO reason to assume the risks are minimal!

I look forward to getting it IF science still says it is 90+% effective. I have a comorbidity (diabetic) so whatever I can do to make it safer for me to be at work and finally lose this mask - I say let me at it!
I am 60 years old and a ICU nurse with asthma. I might just cut the line.
And in the meantime the "poorly educated" will view being vaccinated (if they actually bother with it), as the green light to party. Governments need to strongly reinforce any messages regarding immunity as often and as loudly as they can. The bottom line is we still don't know for how long any conferred immunity may last. It could be weeks, it could be months. It could be less than a year, as with the flu vaccine. We're still fumbling around in the dark.It is going to still be a while with the masks.
Your body needs significant time to build the immunities, it doesn't happen ten minutes after the vaccine is administered.
It will most likely take a month or two for the body to build up significant immunities and even then, it is still advisable to use a mask until such time as lots of people are vaccinated.

Yes, agreed.The scuttlebutt is that we will be vaccinating every year, just like with the flu.

It's a difficult balancing act, to be sure; weighing-up safety concerns against the vaccine's effectiveness. I'm fortunate in that I'm retired and have no real need to mix with others, but I don't envy those who will have to return to work in close proximity to their colleagues.Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply the mask was gone right away after the second dose. I’ve seen it will take roughly 28 days after the second before scientists believe it will be most effective.
My ‘plan’ would be to continue to wear a mask if I’m going to be in a store, but not wear it at work any longer once that time frame passes.
