(16,925 posts)if you don't get out there and try it, how will the rich know it's safe?
(actually, I'm thinking that they will think like you do - but they're on their island, in their yacht, off to the second, third, or fourth home - waiting for "others" to prove how it works.)

(102,200 posts)Mind you I am very pro-vaccination typically, but coronavirus vaccines, in general, are an atypical challenge and any rushed process is a real reason for concern.

(6,145 posts)The idea of being vaccinated was drilled into my brain pretty much since birth and I have never questioned it. To me, people who don't get vaccinated can be carriers - walking time bombs, capable of taking out a room of vulnerable people.
Someone pointed out to me that as long as *I* am vaccinated, it shouldn't matter what someone else's personal choice is.
True.
But it also made me aware of a deep, deep prejudice I have about people who "question the system".
Even though I know the CDC is compromised, even though I've seen the FDA pass through problems, I'm still convinced that our government has our best interests at heart.
That's why I'm not outside of my state capitol with an AK-47 screaming at the top of my lungs that I don't want to wear a mask.
Right this minute. I am feeling very brainwashed, and I'm not sure what to do about it.
- ignore it.
- pick my battles
- push for the revolution.
There could be some in between space, but those feel like my choices. And I think our government counts on people picking option 1.
Does anyone else ever feel this way? That we have been brainwashed into thinking that the government is a benevolent organization that looks out for us? And if you used to feel that way, but had a "wake-up" moment, what is it that you want to do?

(16,925 posts)And THAT is another prime example of how IQ45 is such a failure - NOT leading this country in the way that would show the safest, most understandable, and wisest way to combat the mess that he has helped create!
A TOTAL FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP!!!!!!!
As to your list of 3 questions: Isn't is sad that YOU need to consider which way to go? Firm, confident, well-informed leadership would have had a reasonable response to those questions, especially when it is YOUR life that is involved.
What do you lose - your life or some "free time" out there with those idiots? Easy answer.........
Stay back - stay low - stay inside - stay safe - we need you to be save and we need your vote in November!

It might save you, it might kill you, he will win reelection or steal it again if we arent careful

(7,411 posts)There are likely going to be multiple competing vaccines.
Then there will be a degree of confusion as we try to figure out which vaccine to get.
Of course, that's a better outcome than no viable vaccines.
