What about long term risks? See, from a legal standpoint, the FDA is also supposed to test drugs in the scenario of a long term risk. Throwing a wrench in the poll 🙂

2020-11-20 00:21:39 UTC  

The lack of long-term testing is one of the reasons I said I'd probably eventually take it but not anytime soon.

2020-11-20 00:22:05 UTC  

I'm just going to assume the FDA tested the vaccine and assured that it is safe.

2020-11-20 00:36:00 UTC  

I likely will only because it will probably be required for sports and events and possibly school as well which are like 3 main things in my life atm

2020-11-20 01:26:43 UTC  

I might have the cough cough right now

2020-11-20 06:13:06 UTC  

I wouldn't know if I'd get one because I'm still a minor
My parents see the vaccine as an equivalent to the flu vaccine and no one in my family gets vaccinated for that so it's hard to tell as of now

2020-11-20 06:13:43 UTC  

I don't want to be required to get one just so I can be in a sport though

2020-11-20 16:13:18 UTC  

Eh I've never been vaccinated. I see no need.

2020-11-20 16:42:09 UTC  

I have no problem getting vaccines in general, it's just this particular one that has been made on a time scale not even thought possible I'm waiting on. While as a healthy college age male I can fight off most diseases, it's kids like at St. Jude where I have worked and where my father still works who while having chemotherapy have next to zero immune system and can't even fight off a common cold. Also, the reason the general population is vaccinated against something like the whooping cough which is mostly harmless for an adult is to protect babies who can't be vaccinated yet and who it would be potentially deadly for.There are also other diseases we vaccinated against to help eradicate like polio that there is no cure for and prevention is the only option. If you get it, it's basically a death sentence.

2020-11-20 21:39:58 UTC  

I've been vaccinated but only for illnesses like Rubella and Measles

2020-11-20 21:40:14 UTC  

Those are pretty much mandatory for schools I think

2020-11-20 21:40:42 UTC  

I don't really see a need for getting a covid vaccine

2020-11-20 21:42:13 UTC  

Especially if there's a high recovery chance

2020-11-20 21:52:34 UTC  

Yeah, but older people have a much higher death rate (still only like 5%), so you should probably take it, but I wouldn’t support a mandatory vaccine.

2020-11-20 21:57:07 UTC  

maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2020-11-20 21:59:45 UTC  

I don't know much about covid or its long term affects

2020-11-20 21:59:55 UTC  

it's likely I've already had it

2020-11-20 22:00:06 UTC  

Maybe

2020-11-20 22:00:30 UTC  

Earlier this year I recall having 104 fevers

2020-11-20 22:00:35 UTC  

I know some people’s genes make them near immune

2020-11-20 22:00:38 UTC  

Wow

2020-11-20 22:00:42 UTC  

That’s a lot

2020-11-20 22:00:52 UTC  

It wasn't fun

2020-11-20 22:00:59 UTC  

I bet

2020-11-20 22:01:16 UTC  

I had it around the same time as my youngest sister

2020-11-20 22:01:25 UTC  

and she had to go in a cool bath

2020-11-20 22:01:38 UTC  

That’s too bad

2020-11-20 22:01:58 UTC  

a week before that, my stepmom had a bad cough and my other sister couldn't taste or smell for a week

2020-11-20 22:02:09 UTC  

Oof

2020-11-20 22:02:09 UTC  

so I wouldn't doubt if my family already had it

2020-11-20 22:02:27 UTC  

Yeah, it sounds likes it’s certainly a possibility

2020-11-20 22:03:34 UTC  

My brother has a bad fever, and someone at his school got it so he might have it

2020-11-20 22:05:06 UTC  

I don't live with my mom and she had all the symptoms but her doctor denied her a covid test bc it was the early stages of the pandemic and they were busy
She and my half brother's dad were very sick but my brother was completely fine

2020-11-20 22:05:09 UTC  

and he's 9

2020-11-20 22:06:01 UTC  

I hope your brother gets better

2020-11-20 22:06:17 UTC  

and hopefully gains immunity

2020-11-20 23:35:08 UTC  

Yeah, I hope so too

2020-11-20 23:35:15 UTC  

I have to quarantine for 2 weeks bc my grandma got it

2020-11-20 23:35:27 UTC  

Oof

2020-11-20 23:35:38 UTC  

Kind of sucks bc now I can’t see my dad for a while

2020-11-20 23:35:43 UTC  

Hope your grandma gets better
