Empty It Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 What sort of side effects would need to be present for you to refuse the vaccine?If it made my head and arms fall off I'd maybe consider not taking it but would probably go ahead anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably fair aye. I just can't help but think a lot of people who repeat the "long term side effects" excuse are secretly thinking "this vaccine will give me autism" or some other completely unfounded nonsense. I'm intrigued to understand what the cut off point is for these people. Wee bit of sickness is okay but chronic diarrhoea would be too much? Or is it just long term scary illnesses they know very little about that worries them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 I think it's understandable that quite a lot of folk are concerned about it. Unfortunately it looks like most address these concerns in an 'unproductive' way. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I haven't had it yet, but will shortly have the opportunity to get it. I am a support worker for young people with physical and learning disabilities. The people saying they aren't getting it because they don't know what's in it are probably the same people who think nothing of taking drugs that someone has cut in a shed. Scientists and medical experts have created this vaccine. They are infinitely better qualified to judge whether the vaccine is safe and effective than some random person on social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no medical basis but I'd assume the opposite. It's clearly a virus which increases its seriousness the older you are. I presume it hasn't got a magic switch that tells it the minute you turn 50. Logically 49 year olds are at greater risk than 18 year olds even if that risk is acceptably low. I'd have expected them to work downwards in age subject to potentially bringing people in with asthmatic histories first maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Yes, there has talk of early years and teachers getting bumped up the list. Either way I’d happily be in work (off unrelated). We had no cases in the nursery between august and Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vaccination doesn't give instant protection so you can still catch Covid for a couple of weeks after getting it. That doesn't mean the vaccination caused it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I've been quite sensible about distancing, etc, but if I catch the virus, then so be it. I'd rather not infect anyone else, so I'll take the jab. Realistically, vaccinations are the best way out of the current situation, surely? 'mon the jags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the government pursued a certain level of the population vaccinated before completely removing restrictions would that make you more likely to take it? As obviously you are fairly young so the vaccine won't make you that much more likely to survive it because you already are fairly resistant but the reason I would take it is to get the numbers of people vaccinated up rather than my own safety. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but some folk who've had it say they now have a noticeably reduced lung capacity. Mate of mine had it for 3 or 4 months, and said it was the worst he's ever felt in his life - and he's from Inverness. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budmiester1 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 One of my work colleagues was pretty much against taking the vaccine whereas I'm all for it, he picked up the virus two weeks ago, my how his tune has changed! He's now saying even if the vaccine reduced the effect of the virus by 20-30% he's going to get it ASAP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
