I'm Going To Be Optimistic For A Change

[SoCalDavidS]

That the full approval by the FDA, will spur many who were on the fence, to go get a Pfizer shot.

Unfortunately, that evil voice in my head is saying, "don't be a sucker, you know it's going to make barely any difference. Nothing's changed, really."

1. I think it will spur many.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. I HOPE it will spur many. I suspect too many of them are just using approval as...

an excuse.

I am curious what their real reasons are. I remember people who refused flu shots, blood donations, etc. Maybe it's just the needle scaring them away.

3. I Doubt It Will Sway Those Who Rather Take Horse De-Wormer

If you want to know what their real reasons are going to be, you'll probably have to watch Faux News to get their talking points for the week.

4. Horseworming people are too far gone to worry about. It's sentient humans...

we're trying to talk to.

5. I Guess We'll See Over The Coming Weeks

I still expect things to be bad for at least the next 2-4 weeks. Basically we're working on October at this point.

6. I'm cautiously hopeful.

I agree that there are probably people who are using FDA approval as an excuse. The nice thing is, we'll soon know which ones they are!

7. I'm hoping that once the FDA approves it, many businesses willl mandate it n/t

[SoCalDavidS]

8. Yes, I Forgot About That

This would be an excellent development.

[OhioChick]

9. That's our best option at this point....

From what I've heard Microsoft and Google are going to mandate, I'm hoping that it'll catch on.

Businesses are all about $$, they're not going to want to close their businesses every time their workers are positive, that's not cost-effective for them.

10. Not To Mention The Real Elephant In The Room

By that I mean the Insurance companies.

I think their patience on having these enormous hospital bills for the unvaccinated, when a fully FDA approved vaccine is available, will wear thin very quickly.

I'm waiting for one of them to make a statement and drop the bomb on consumers, not to mention these large companies with their employee health insurance programs.

[OhioChick]

11. I agree....

Insurance companies are all about profits and when they start digging into those profits, things will hopefully change.

12. I'm sure they will.

Insurance companies can’t charge individuals different rates based on vaccination status but if the company requires all employees to be vaccinated they may get a better rate. Like the companies that have healthy living programs.
