Popular Post Brunolem Posted April 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Years ago, a vaccine was developed against SARS 1, the coronavirus that struck Asia in 2003. The tests were far from conclusive, with the vaccine having dangerous side effects. Since then, not much progress has been accomplished with vaccines against coronaviruses in general. Yet, we are repeatedly told about a vaccine against the actual SARS-CoV-2 (Covid 19) coming within 12 to 18 months. Developing a new vaccine generally requires 5 to 10 years, so getting one within 1 year or so would probably involve cutting a few corners, a strategy that didn't do any good to Boeing, its 737 Max, and especially its passengers... So, assuming that a vaccine against the SARS 2 coronavirus was indeed available within 12 to 18 months, would you want to be among the first to get a shot, or would you rather let others take their chances and wait to see how things evolve? Personally, the sooner a vaccine would be available, the longer I would wait... Edited April 17, 2020 by Brunolem 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that the first place to come up with a viable vaccine will be china due to them not caring if they hurt people in the process, and even with my distain of China and distrust of China I would take a Chinese vaccine or any vaccine as soon as it came out so I can be on the frontlines of safely getting back to work and traveling. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tonray Posted April 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2020 If you want to travel across borders...you might not have the option. I suggest that many countries will require proof of vaccination before allowing entry. In the same way as schools require proof of vaccination before a new student can be admitted to the program 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bkk6060 Posted April 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2020 Could all be false hope. No Zika vaccine No HIV vaccine No Herpes vaccine Probably many more.

Due to my line of work and my history ive had medications for everything imaginable including malaria meds and anthrax vaccine. I ill gladly get a vaccine as soon as it is available, even at a steep price, so I can get back to working. My employment requires constant travel all over the place so being able to do so is paramount. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 When a vaccine comes out ,I need to see what my options are before I can answer that question. Way too many unknowns now to answer that . What are my treatment options? What are my prospects for a relatively easy recovery if infected? etc If it is required for travel I would be the first on line. I am not spending another year in the US, as nice as it is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I am not in the recommended flu vaccine group, and will probably also be out of this recommended group. Personally I would not be tempted very much to take one, but until herd immunity is achieved I may be forced to get one due to travel, school for kids or something similar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep people locked down long enough to scare them into a vaccine program... No vaccine = no travel Plus we will just announce a new virus every time it looks like the masses are starting to get twitchy :) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK - link might be nice. Many Indian children have pre-existing conditions, and of course no vaccine is perfect. 490,000 is less than 2% of the births per year in india. So you are saying the vaccine may have saved 98% of children from polio? That is acceptable or not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
