I'll wait for others to beta test it first. I have no desire to go outside or interact with society anyway.

We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I'll only take a vaccine that's been approved by scientists and has plenty of clinical trials behind it. I've got Diabetes and severe asthma as well as being Immunocompromised. I can't take chances with this.
I'll read the studies on any that become available. If I'm satisfied with the efficacy and safety then I'm all in.
I'm in a high-risk category and I've been told that I'll get it before the general population does. Whenever my GP and my cardiologist (they both think we won't see anything until January or February at the earliest) tell me to take it, I'll take it.
If it were approved by the FDA as well as agencies from European countries, yeah. I wouldn't have any issue in taking it. But otherwise, nah, not with this administration still in charge.
I voted with out fully reading. I for some reason thought it said next month. I was like fuck that we are no there near lol.
I would take it if it's fully tested and pass all phases and trials and supportive international by the science and medical industry.
I have a child that is auto immune and would do what is needed to keep him safe. I also have elder family members I interact with so it would not be a question for me personally.

Realistically speaking, the worst thing is it just doesn't work.
You would, of course, also want to make sure you had all the information on known side effects, possible adverse effects, or any pre-existing conditions that might have an impact. No one's going to grow a third arm or anything though.
That said, if you're a healthy, young-ish non-critical worker it's probably going to be months and months before you're in line to get one.
Another poll post without proper context. Are we talking about a vaccine pushed out by Trump but not properly tested and approved? Or a vaccine that is tested and approved by scientists and agencies?
I don't think the gen pop gets access to it in the first month.
It will be given to seniors, most vulnerable, and frontline workers - basically those that need it the most.
Obviously it depends on how the approval process for the vaccine went, but I'd add that the first wave of vaccines once approved is going to be 100% limited to healthcare workers and high risk which I am neither of, so its not like I'd be first in line, anyway.
Nope. I'd rather wait for enough regular people to test it themselves first as I don't know wtf they're even putting in these vaccines or what it will do to people's bodies.
Exactly. If it is properly tested then yes. If it is Prefeser Trump's Snake Oil Cure-All then the answer is no.
We wouldn't be able to get it if we wanted. If it dropped today my guess is it'd take at least six months before it was available for most of us.
Not a chance lol.
I want a vaccine, but a brand new vaccine is a hell of a lot different than let's say a CoD midnight launch. I don't wanna be there day 1.

If a covid vaccine was available next month I can only assume it passed all the required agencies and checks required to get to market so sure. There isn't a magic vaccine that gets to market with 0 documentation and testing that we can't follow. So I mean, sure. We aint getting shit this year though.
Happy to let more vulnerable/frontline workers take it first, I am very low risk as I work from home even outside of COVID and can easily go weeks without going outside if need be.
Assuming the availability was enough that I wasn't taking it from people who need it more - 100%.
I'd probably look at the response of experts about whether they felt the degree of testing was sufficient or not and make my decision based on that. At this stage even a rushed vaccine will have documented testing, so no matter what Trump does we should have data that can tell us if it seems safe, and if we don't have enough data that should be public as well
As long as the scientists say its good (and both Pfizer and Moderna are actively bringing in detractors currently to share the science with them and hopefully get them on board) absolutely.
Those saying we aren't even close aren't paying attention. Pfizer and Moderna are both being pretty clear that they think they're safe, they work, and they're close.

Yea or... debilitating narcolepsy like with the h1n1 pandermix vaccine in Europe?
I know they are part of the EU, but I'll wait to see what Finland says.
Moncef Slaoui, long time vaccine expert, who is the drumpf appointed director of Warp Speed was on the board of Moderna.
Still want the Moderna one?
I AM LEGEND...comes to mind for me.
Realistically this medicine possibly could give you long-term cancer or any other bodily harm if not tested properly for long-term use.
If it's passed the appropriate trials, sure. Thing is we know supply will be limited. By the time I can get my hands on it, we'll know more...
