To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues

[TNKen]

Wife unit has the option to take the Pfizer vaccination. She is a health care worker, a case manager, on a respiratory floor. Patients get diagnosed and sent to the COVID unit. She does not have direct patient contact care. Visits rooms occasionally and sets up discharge plans/orders, etc.

Using my google-physician skills, who the hell knows the answer to this one.

PA student daughter says, hell no, rushed through production, rushed trials, after effects unknown, effectiveness unknown. Don't do it.

My suggestion was let some others take it first, see what happens.

Side effects are negligible to fairly severe. Depending on the study, 2%-15% suffer side effects. Mostly minor, but there are exceptions.

I would hope a health care worker has a treating doctor who she trusts. That seems like a much better source of information than some jongs on a ski forum.

Are the side effects less severe than dying of COVID?

Question 1
Do you love your wife?

Question 2
You're a lawyer and you don't want part of that class action money?

I wish that I could get it next week, rather than wait until April, or July.

I guess the question is, are your chances of being f#$% by the vaccine greater than your chances of being f#$%%!!! by the virus?
If it is a 1 in 22 chance to get infected (current USA total), with little to no symptoms, or a small chance of dying 1 in 1143 (mostly seniors), then ....
it probably makes sense to get the jab (eventually, after the first set of guinea pigs gets it!).
If you are planning on having children, or are pregnant, or smart, or educated, or in any other way public-relations-government-media-compromised, you may need to post a POLL on TGR to find your best options.

Reason!
Nuance!
you must not be from around here....

I’m getting it as soon as it’s available as a health care worker. Side effects are roughly the same as flu vaccine.

No! She should abstain from all vaccines, spoon the COVID patients, and make sure to sneeze on your food

Let us know how it works out.

Wow, as a healthcare worker I would have assumed she'd be required to get it.

What about your chances of getting covid and being symptomatic for 4-5 weeks? What about your chances of getting covid and getting permanent heart and/or lung damage? What about your chances of not having symptoms and not dying from a covid infection but then giving it to someone that dies...or has heart damage for life etc etc.

What about the chances of people who pass themselves off as smart continuing to pose this as a “you’re unlikely to die so what’s the big deal?” binary problem?

Last time I read a post by the OP he was freaking out because buses full of ANTIFA were headed to his small town, so not surprised to find out he is an anti-vaxxer.
