Decisión by Monday....

I am supposed to complete a survey and say "yes" or "no" by Monday if I want to receive the COVID Vaccine next week being offered to me as a firefighter...

I'm on the fence

NOPE

Yes.

I was just talking to my Physical Therapist about this yesterday. She's also on the fence because she wants another baby next year,

I would imagine my employer (DHS) will require it at some time. I'm retiring in 2021 so verdict is still out for me.

They sent us an "anonymous" survey to gauge interest in getting the vaccine. The first question in the "anonymous" survey was last name, first name then employee ID. I did not participate.

Considering the survival rate....HARD NOPE for me

Just curious your rationale for the big fat NOPE?

Once, or better yet, IF it is proven safe and effective, will you change your mind or is it no to all vaccines?

I don't understand anyone trying to sell others on not taking the vaccine, even it were only 50% effective. I see it as my civic duty. It would still help keep your family safe. Complications have not occurred on the test subjects.

Spoke w/my doctor about this a couple of days ago. Nope! Not enough data on long term effects.

It has been rushed into service. It is not proven.

The virus is really no big deal, in spite of what the media makes it out to be. I would rather get sick, and let my body build its' own immunity that to get the vaccine. Same as my parents had me do with the chickenpox. No, I will not change my mind. And no I am not against all vaccines. I am just against one that is months old, instead of decades old.

40 years old, fit, zero health problems, live way out in the country with plenty fresh air. I'll take my chances.

Nope not me ever!

'If proven" ..the media?

Safe from what? It is more dangerous to drive in the highway than to get Coivd-19.

Complications have not occured YET. One year old virus, four month old vaccine.

“All of my staff, you know, we are excited to get the vaccine. We are in the COVID unit, so therefore, you know, my team will be getting first chances to get the vaccine,” Dover said.

“And I know that it’s really … Sorry, I’m feeling really dizzy,” she continued.

There will be adverse reactions just as there is with any and all vaccines and medications...
I will take it... My wife will not per her choice.... My business partner, a physician, took it yesterday... To each their own....
I think by the time it is available for me, we will see if there are wide spread adverse reactions, which I am betting we won’t see....
I am not judging those choosing to not take the vaccine.

Screw em I'm out on the corona shot.
What's to say in 10 years something shows up because you took the shot.
What do they say to that "Were Sorry" Tooo late.

I'm 5 days in testing positive, this stuff is kicking my butt coughing congested fever body aches nose burns eyes burn taste and smell all screwed up Dr. Put me on nebulizer today and it's tough to walk outside just to carry out the trash without running out of air, so if I get a chance to get vaccinated I will.But that's just my view on it and I'm typing with a fever so please excuse errors!

Watch that fever and watch your pulse ox...get a meter if you don't have one.

I will be taking the vaccine. I have spoken with too many physicians and medical personnel I know and respect to not take it. I will take it at a hospital/doctor's office because I am allergic to certain medications and apparently that can be a risk with the Pfizer one. I am not, at least to my knowledge, however, allergic to any vaccines.

No for me
i'll take a 98.2% chance of survival over a 90-95% effective vaccine, that i don't know exactly what is in it.

Hard no on that one.

Pfizer developed Viagra...I wonder how many people had a second thought before taking it when it first came out....

I’m probably in the low risk group so by the time it’s available to me we should have a better understanding of the vaccine. I want the vaccine I just wouldn’t take it today if I had to decide.

its Trumps vaccine. He named it Warp Speed.

Why would something like this happen?


https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/11/world/australia/uq-coronavirus-vaccine-false-positive.html

I don’t give a chit who made it, Trump didn’t make it by the way, big pharmaceutical made it. So no it’s not Trumps vaccine, he just happens to be the dude in the WH and pushing it forward to keep all the crazy [censored] masses from really going over the edge. This is nothing more than a money grab from a fake “pandemic”. For my age group I’m over 99% for survival I’ll take that all day everyday over some pharmaceutical companies medicine.

Most likely we’ll be seeing commercials in 3-5 years saying “did you or one of your loved ones take the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and develop zombism? You might be entitled to cash payout.”

Long way or saying not no but hell no.

After watching two friends with the same body type get it and have it in a bad way I probably will. I know nothing but I think their is a couple strains

Not true. Look it up. Get vaccinated and they still want you to wear a mask and they don't want you to travel. Why is that?

It's Saline...just a way to get out of the "hyped" election mess.

I probably will. Can’t be worse than the Coke Zero I put in my body.

Say Nope to that Dope

at least that tastes good........kind of........ well..

Hard pass

Nope mRNA vaccines have not worked or made it this far I'll pass

more for me and my commie brothers

Lost a very good friend last night who was a tough as nails retired Marine, Made this s--t get a lot more real for me in a hurry
Still undecided on the vacine

When it becomes available I will follow my doctors advice. But each his own.

The big issue with Covid is the randomness of how hard it hits some people. Both my parents are older and at risk. If their doctor recommends it, I would trust that.

Another issue to me is the virus itself. If it’s man made and engineered, how is that going to interact with the synthetic vaccine. Then put in the mutations it will take. It’s a movie script for sure.

That is no lie. Wife's parents got it and FIL was good after about a week. MIL got covid lung and it lasted a month(they are in their 50s). Friends parents both got it and he was fine after a week and she got double pnemonia and is still having issues 2.5 months later(mid 60s). Same friends sister got it monday and she is fine and our friend tested today so we will see how what plays out (40s late). I am like Kyle, Nope. Kids are a big nope too

It’s just simply too soon for anyone on the fence is my opinion

This is a rushed vaccine

There’s no doubt, midday TV in 3 years is going to covered with lawyer commercials if you’ve taken the Rona shot call
Our law office at...

Take it and be the THF guinea pig.

It’s a different decision depending on where you are in life I guess. My dad wants it. And that’s his decision to make. Personally I’m leary, and don’t trust anything anymore.

Oh my son is a big hell no... kids don’t even catch it. They say my 2 year old has to take it to go day care they can suck a Wade. Ain’t happening.

How old is your dad?

MY 72yo dad is terrified he is going to get covid and die. He wont go anywhere. But, he says heck no to the vaccine.

78 year old grandma canceled and rescheduled Christmas because he is terrified barely had thanksgiving. All she does is watch CNN. Wonder if there is a connection.

Our THF doctor, Texas Buckey, isn't taking it. Our EMS/EMT Firefighters aren't taking it. What can I say? I'm waiting.

Umm what about our THF genius KRoyal isn’t taking it??

That’s gotta mean something.

He’s 78. I learned earlier tonight from my sister that he wants to postpone Christmas until him and my Mom have had both shots. Said it will make him feel much better. And that’s his choice to make I guess.

Sucks because I was sick over Thanksgiving running fever and feeling horrible. Turned out not to be covid, but I didn’t want to risk getting the parents sick and we didn’t know what it was at that time.

This week my son’s friend tested positive and they quarantined part of the basketball team. I think that coupled with my sisters friend testing positive, has kinda scared him. His buddies are all scared as well.

My wife will, she actually ran some of the studies and has seen the data first hand.

I will not. Like many here, I need long term data before I take it.

Viagra was discovered from a side effect of blood pressure medication and slightly altered so as not to cause blood pressure problems in people that didn’t need BP meds but needed life back in their one eyed willie.

No doubt she will. f that

I know several folks who have died from Covid-19 or have had a bad time with the long term effects. I will be getting it at the first possible opportunity.

Just curious. Is your department going to require you to get the vaccine as a condition of employment? And if they do,will that change your mind?

Should be a bunch of job openings...






https://www.natlawreview.com/articl...ndatory-covid-19-vaccination-policies-us

No I'll take my chances.

It would be no for me

OK, where's the nearest Kingdom Hall?

That had to have been a hard decision

I'll take it

I’ll be creating fake Covid-19 vaccination cards and selling them.

I’d pass for now.
Too many unknowns and the thing stinks just like the rest of whole scenario.

Be sure to post up before and after pics of yourself so we can see if there are any effects.

I’ll buy the first one

I plan to get the vaccination but don't see why folks can't simply say they don't want the shot and wave all legal actions against the company should they get the Chinaflu from work.

Right now, I don't think the department is going to require it. Where things could get muddy is if TDSHS requires all EMTs and Paramedics to get the vaccine to retain our certifications. In that case, I would probably go back to being a full time welder/fitter, and continue with all the business I conduct on my rifle range.

Giving up a career, 5 years from retirement eligibility would be a huge decision, and that's the decision I would probably make.

Number 2 right there^^. That's the trigger I'm pulling, and it would be true.

condolences.
I was about 10 when I realized the flu was deadly.

If the state does require it, I'd bet we're gonna lose a lot of good fire/police personnel.

Haha very funny.

I plan to not take it for a while, as I see what impact it has in terms of side effects. It appears that there are side effects, so I’d like a look at it longer term.They did rush this vaccine development. Years ago my boss was pestering me to solve a problem, and I told him he could have a fast answer or the right answer. They aren’t necessarily the same answer.

Recently I saw data from a poll on who was willing to take it and who wasn’t. It was even broken down into gender and race. I really was surprised what a low percentage of people were wanting the shot.

By the time the vaccine has been given to the top tier people across the country, it will have been tested enough for most of the public. There are a million plus nursing home residents, the Doctors and Nurses number over 3 million. So 4 million plus test subjects. Anything less than 400 deaths from the vaccine is better odds than the virus.

Hopefully it works good enough to get the kids back into schools, the bars open for the drunks, and the food places available for those that cannot cook. If you have children, the first one is the most important, quite a few have already lost a good part of a year of their education. Not to slight the bars and restaurants, the cities, counties and state depends on those tax dollars to line some of the pockets.

I don’t see how an employer and mandate that you take the vaccine. What are they going to do if you refuse? I’m civil service protected, I can’t see how they could fire me for not taking the shot

But they were trying for a totally different affect.
What they profit on now is the unintended reaction(or erection as in this case).

self proclaimed genius

I would get a fake vaccination from “my own” doctor before I would give up your job.

I wonder how much liability a company will face if they require a vaccine and the vaccine causes health issues.

Here comes another TV ad:

"If you were employed with XYZ and required to take the C19 vaccine and now suffer from... give us a call, you may be entitled to a large cash award."

Offering these vaccinations, IMO, is more to cover the employers rear end than to help you. Will they have any liability if something negative happens after you get the injection? I'm almost willing to bet the answer is they will have zero liability.

I'm just getting through this pestilence and do NOT want even a slight re occurrence.

You're kidding right?

yawl eat all kinds of chit and you don't know what's in it


whats the difference with the C Vaccine?

."Support* - Emergen-C® With Vitamin C
1,000 Mg Of Vitamin C With Other Antioxidantsƚ & B Vitamins. Try Emergen-C® Now! Has Vitamin C, Electrolytes & Other Nutrients. Try Emergen-C® & Save Up To $2! High-Potency Vitamin C. Dietary supplement. Packed With Vitamin C. More than 20 flavors."

Big Nope because the science is rushed, the results have been groomed, and the side effects are all over the place. Had the COVID and survived. Vaccines should be used for truly devastating pathogens like smallpox and polio

Another doomsday post.

You had the virus and survived without any medical intervention of note.

What's the point of the C Vaccine?

common sense is not to common

I would do it, if it was offered to me.

How many doses is China buying?

You know when there is about 30 years of failed presidents and top failed democrat leaders lining up to tell you how nice the shot is, you best pull your head out of your rear.

I see one Doctor at least once a month, another at least every 2 months. I have asked all of the Nurses and Doctors about the vaccine multiple times. They have all said yes they will take the shots. These people have kept me going, the least I can do is take the shots, and hopefully it will help keep them safer. After all they have done for me, I feel I owe them the safety factor of taking the shot so that I do not expose them to the virus.

Has Fauci still not gotten the vaccine?

Not sure if this has been addressed but can you still be a carrier/transmitter even if you got the shot?

Get the vaccine y’all!!!! If all y’all get it then I don’t have to!

No

Hell to no. No long term testing as been said already multiple times.

So what did you decide??????

He should of made this a Poll.............

I'm around doctors and nurses daily and it's about 50/50.

My good friend who is a PA and who's wife is undergoing cancer treatment told me their Oncologist said she would not be getting it and advised them to wait.

I'm supposed to fill out the survey today...

Still undecided

AOC got the shot. Stupidity must be a risk factor.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/aoc-coronavirus-vaccine-social-media-congress-pfizer

I volunteered to be one of the first to take it for hospital employees. But I'm not a front line worker. So far, the main complaints we are seeing is a sore arm and slight fever. Both go away after 24 hours. I gladly will take a vaccine for a virus that currently is the leading cause of death in the US.

Ditto, but our first shipment of 300 doses hasn't arrived yet. I look at it as taking one for the team. I'm old(ish) and if it kills me I doubt anyone will lose much sleep. Much better me than the 20 or 30 something year old with a family to support.

Only because no matter what people die of, it's China Flu.

About what?

Reports out now on news that there is another strain of SARS Covid. No Vaccine for me regardless.

Hard nope for me. I don't need Viagra or the Covid-19 vaccination. If we were stacking bodies like cordwood it'd be different. This whole thing is a crock of [censored] and I'm sick of it.

2 guys got shot and killed last weekend.............cause of death. China Flu

Its all about the benjamins baby. When they start curing cancer or major issues give me a call.

Why cure it when they can make billions selling meds, it’s definitely a crooked game their playing. I’m not going to play it unless someone knocks on my door with a gun and needle and at that point one of us is going to die on the spot. It may be me but I’ll go out unpunctured that’s for sure I’m no bad a&& and don’t claim to be one but I’m Wirey lol

For those who were wondering..

I was unable to fill out the survey on my phone and was off duty all week so I did not get the vaccine. I believe all but one other at my station got it.

I do plan to get it as soon as I can.

I’ll take it. I don’t want to get it and pass it on to family

Good move. The virus would blamed on you if any of their extended families caught it.

Sure, I will take the shot.

just get a mumps booster shot. Its showing that it keeps you from getting the china virus..

I'm not putting pig and fetal tissue into my RNA

Smart man. So will I. The guys that say they won't get it are the ones that scream, "McRib is back".

I wont get it and I think the mcrib is a disgusting piece of trash. I eat healthy.

No way Jose.......
