Pfizer gears up for mass rollout of Covid-19 vaccine as the U.K. approves emergency use,

Pfizer workers are gearing up for a mass rollout of the company's Covid-19 vaccine. The United Kingdom became the first country to approve Pfizer's vaccine. "I'm just so, so pleased that, you know, 2020 has been just awful and 2021 is going to be better. And help is on its way," said Matt Hancock, the U.K.'s Health Secretary. Pfizer's vaccine has yet to receive emergency use approval in the United States, but officials anticipate vaccinating 100 million Americans by the end of February 2021.

I'm not having the vaccine.
It's not been tested. It takes years to create and test a vaccine. Not months.
I'll wait n see what happens to those that have it.
Hope they will be okay.

Put it this way ...I'd certainly take it if i was to get C19 and was seriously ill.. No question other wise a No from me too!

[Squinty]

I'm dubious about the vaccine, it's been developed very quickly.

From what I gather as a 50-something with no health issues...  I'll be well down the list for inoculation. So there's going to be plenty of  time for side effects to surface and the one shot vaccines to be developed and tested further.

With my mother and her husband in their 80s and currently helping to care for a neighbour in her 90s; I'd hope they might be successfully inoculated so that at least I can go about looking after them without fear of bumping them off.

I will take it.not sure about it but its got to be better than being on a ventilator.

Exactly my sentiments too!

[nevadacowboy]

I'll take the vaccine. If I'm gonna die I want to die healthy.

Have you ever wondered How COVID Kills Some People But Not Others!

[PhilH]

I'll take my chances with the vaccine. I know 5 who have died with it, 4 of them younger and possibly fitter than me

[kennyboy]

Got to agree with KevG. I`m pushing seventy and my wife has heart failure(70%), so for us it`s got to be better than catching covid. Lost an uncle at the weekend with it, and a shooting friend a couple of months ago with it, also have two cousins, younger than us,  in hospital with it. I`m afraid it`s getting really frightening now so I`ll take my chance with the vaccine. PLEASE be careful, and if you have older relatives think of them before visiting.  ATB Ken.

My wife works in a hospital (palliative care) she cant wait for the vaccine, along with her colleagues. They're  tired of all the stresses this pandemic has caused. I too will have the vaccination, I've got asthma and bronchiectasis also just been diagnosed with a rare bug in my lung too. Interestingly every time I've mentioned covid to my chest specialist he sort of dismisses it. Says I have age on my side (40) end of the day I don't want it! Be glad when some sort of normality is restored!

A friend of mine spent years on the police force as a detective. He was looking forward to retirement in June 2020 but caught Covid in May and spent a month in ITU on a ventilator. He made it, but even now he can't walk for more than 5 minutes. Retirement potentially ruined, selling the camper van and confined to the home. I bet he wishes he'd had a vaccine if it had been out.
The vaccine they have has been properly tested on tens of thousands of people on a constant rotation shift pattern. Just because they had to up the test rate due to the seriousness of the issue doesn't mean it wasn't correctly verified.
Think about it this way, a lot of people buy 100 burgers from Farm Foods for £9.99, then wonder what's in a vaccine!

Researchers say COVID-19 vaccine effective in monkey tests,

Researchers at Harvard Medical School say there are promising new results that suggest a vaccine will be effective against COVID-19. Their study involved monkeys, but human trials will soon follow. Meg Oliver has the latest in the CBS News series "Racing to a Cure."

I would take the vaccine.  My parents are aged and infirm and my brother has his immune system switched off. I see the vaccine as a way for me to see my family without putting them at risk. We all have our views and reasons for those views, these are just mine, I do not mean to judge with these comments.  Take care all, we will get through this.  Gudge
