Your fear is justified. The Virginia health director is wanting to make the vaccine mandatory. https://www.wric.com/news/virginia-ne...

I'm skeptical of any vaccine. when the first flu vaccine came out my wife got one and developed an allergic reaction to eggs. Luckily I'm not. I get fungal infections fairly readily which could a problem with the efficacy of the vaccine. My fear if the Communist Dems win we will be subjected to draconian measure like Austrailia.

Wasn't it Eisenhower who said "Beware of the scientist leaders?" N

Interesting

They didn't discuss that part. It's, obviously, a big ethics issue and I forget the name for that kind of vaccine test. But, in this case it was going to be a precedent in the U.S. That's why it made news.

A few people in the Moderna 2nd phase trial became gravely ill from the vaccine. But, don't worry. I'm sure they'll get it dialed before they force parents to vaccinate their babies with this. Oh, and I don't think it's been tested on babies. That would be...complicated...

What happens if the recipient comes down with Covid 19 and god forbid- dies

I am 100% certain that very method was discussed for this vaccine - actually exposing people to the virus during the test. It would be new territory for vaccine development in the US...which is why I learned it was being considered.

mandatory vaccine is like mandatory attendance at public schools. who knows whats going to be the result

out of the mouths of babes comes the truth. I hadnt thought of the fact that giving it to 30,000 people only could produce an immune response which couldnt be verified as being effective against the disease at all !!!! Exposing the 30,000 people to the virus after they took the vaccine is just NOT going to be done in the USA-(maybe in russia or china they would co it !!)

Term a vaccine is meant to prevent you from getting a disease .It is not to cure you from it.
How would giving a vaccine to 30,000 people who have mild to moderate COVID19 symptoms give any worthwhile results. You would want to give the vaccine to people who are not sick and then are exposed to the virus to see if they contract the disease to determine if the vaccine prevented them from illness. A vaccine is designed to provide an immune system response protecting the individual. I’m not a medical scientist.

Isnt that the phase 3 trial specification, 30,000 people?

I trust myself and the research I put in to reach a conclusion. I do Not trust Fauci, WHO, CDC, NIH or most Democrats, who all have their own agenda, which is at cross purposes to my living free and safely. I trust in most of teh military and cops, knowing their are exceptions. I am against any mandatory vaccine! I am against masks, as being a false sense of security for a faulty item. Anthem, yes, rad it, believe it.

As in check your premises.

Also yourself.

When you speak of testing it on 30,000 with mild Covid19 symptoms you are testing a therapeutic.
There are no guarantees in medicinal treatments. That is not how they test a vaccine.

Resulting in: "Trust only yourself, but verify that."

Likely 100+ pages about using reason, logic and facts vs fear-induced emotional compliance.

I hear you. You should be able to learn about it via honest, thorough information and make your own decision based on that and conversations with your doctor. If you have underlying health issues it's a big deal.

Tessting on 30,000 people with only mild to moderate symptoms doesnt guarantee that it wont hurt ANYONE.

I have had good tolerance of tetanus, pneumonia, shingles, and the standard measles/mumps/chickenpox stuff- also the polio vaccine. I dont know how effective they really were, but I didnt get any of the diseases they are supposed to protect. As to the flu vaccine, I havent had bad experiences with them, but I really dont know if they worked. As to the corona vaccines, I have to look at the risk of bad effects vs the risk of catching the damn thing. Not sure what I will do

Frankly I dont TRUST anyone today. So many hidden agendas have made it impossible to just take things as they are presented. I have had a tendency lately to just make up my own mind about what is true and go with that- If I am right, great, if I am wrong, I bear the consequences.

What would John Galt have said?

Yes ThanQ for sharing. Vote Trump and Republicans like your life depends on it ...it does!

To answers your question: NOT bureaucrats. I trust only myself and perhaps those without hidden agendas. Actions speak louder than words.

MY WIFE AND BROTHER, PERIOD!

I agree with Olduglycarl - Damn near died the first and last vaccine I ever got....#Neveragain

Me also, but at the time, I was 20 yrs younger. I lost more than 30 lbs, and gained an allergic reactions to eggs and other foods which continue to this day.
