Assuming a "safe and effective" coronavirus vaccine is developed, it seems like a nobrainer for anyone who could physically tolerate it to get it, but I'll bet the Flat Earth Society anti-vaccers will insist on being walking death bombs.

Oh please, I am far from a flat earther but I am very leery of vaccines...:roll:
 
They have a vaccine but it takes over a year to test it.


I think they're using it in China already because they don't have the same standards.
 
We won't see it in the population for 18 months, I bet.

Would I take it? Well, that depends if I see enough virus growth that I feel personally threatened. But then I'd have to feel very highly threatened, otherwise I want to see the effects & side-effects of the vaccine over some time.

So just like with flu vaccines, I doubt I'd be interested unless I really feel seriously threatened.
 
A person who does not get the vaccine is only a walking death bomb against others who didn't get the vaccination, unless of course the vaccinations don't work anyway.
 
I would fearlessly take any vaccine. People need to butch up.

Correct, and even when we do it just takes one slight mutation and then it won't be effective anyway--- same as seasonal flu vaccines.

I always get a flu vaccine because at my age to not have one is a bigger gamble.

I've also had both pneumonia vaccines that are available. They don't prevent all pneumonia, but they lessen the odds, or lessen the severity in case you do get pneumonia.

True, even with accelerated clinical trials the vaccine would not be ready for mass market until Spring 2021 at the earliest.
 
Unless I had any 'underlying health issues', no thank you. I'll take my chances, which I would be doing getting the vaccine anyway.
 
i'll get it when it is developed, but that is going to take some time.

Here are a couple of facts. The virus is mutating; a vaccine may soon be out of date. All the vaccine production facilities in the world could not make enough vaccine for everybody. Building new ones will take a long time.
