Vaccines are not without a risk, and the current versions are being rushed.
I am not anti-vaccine, but I am cautious about untested politicized medicine. I also am not a fan of a poll that over simplifies the situation for a cheap bit of attention. - How effective is the vaccine. The influenza vaccine only reduces the risk of flu illness by between 40% and 60% among the overall population during seasons when most circulating flu viruses are well-matched to the flu vaccine.
- New vaccine - How has it been tested? The Federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program exists for a reason, and these vaccines are being rushed.
- Why this particular vaccine? There are at least 120 in development.
- Article indicates the vaccine is free. No vaccine is free. Even if there is no direct financial cost to the person getting the vaccine, there will be costs and expenses to getting it. If your not upfront about this, what else are you not mentioning? Perhaps the vaccine is free, but not the administration of it?
- How is this vaccine administered? A recent Phizer vaccine requires two doses 21 days apart. It was not clear what form it was, but I suspect an injection which the article uses for illustration. This means dealing with some medical office twice, likely during the day and requiring an appointment and taking time off work and getting to the site and it is not stated how much that 21 days can vary.
- Look at the governments reactions and responses to date. There have been issues politicizing the response and many failures to date and this poll wants me to blindly trust them.
