I've had people tell me that they're holding out for the vaccine because then the panic will stop, we'll all become immune, and everything will go back to normal.
Will You get the SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine when it becomes available Why/Why not?

I can't believe people are dumb enough to believe that things will go back to normal. Governments don't give freedoms back.
If I go into work and they tell me I have to get the vaccine I'm quitting on the spot, and sue them, since it's very illegal to force someone to get a medical procedure in order to get/keep a job.

Hospitals fire employees for refusing to get the flu vaccine. Some states even require all clinical workers to be vaccinated. There's been lawsuits, but it's always gone in favor of the hospitals.

I'm in the reserves so they'll likely have us all take it whether we want to or not

I won't get it. I had a bad allergic reaction to the H1N1 vaccine, so I don't even get flu shots anymore. I technically could get a flu shot, but it requires pre-dosing with Benadryl and spending hours being observed at the doctor's office to make sure I don't have another reaction (which could be worse the next time). So, I'm not keen on trying out any new vaccines.
I hope it works because I've lost one aunt to Wu Flu and another one is on a ventilator right now. So, I take it seriously -- but the fact that this is a brand new type of vaccination (mRna) that has never been successfully used before and is now being rushed through should make anyone a little nervous. I know they've been working on the technology for years, but I'd feel much better if at least one mRna vaccine that worked already existed and had been tested extensively.
Not going to lie, this whole scenario sounds like it was ripped from a low budget Zombie apocalypse movie. Like this is the explanation for how it all started ... worldwide pandemic from novel virus + an untested vaccine that ended up mutating the dna of recipients creates an army of brain dead creatures destroying life as we know it.

This is the premise of the 2007 I Am Legend movie; a virus genetically engineered to cure measles causes mass death with the only survivors being small group of vampire zombies and and even smaller population of the immune.

No, I don't even know who my physician is now since the old one died 20 years ago and I haven't been at one since.

Nope.
Generally fine with vaccines, but I work in medical research and I’m not convinced any of the current candidates have had sufficient safety testing. The mRNA ones in particular should be pretty safe, in theory, but still, they’re a new class of vaccine and they need the proper follow up.
The placebo used in some of the trials has been a meningitis vaccine, not saline, so that in and of itself will reduce the difference between the two pools in terms of side effects.
Vaccines are like any drug - they’re as safe in general as the testing, and no drug is totally safe or without side effects, by definition. If it has an effect, it will have side effects in some. One of the important things to determine safety is the time for follow up. This hasn’t had enough time post jab either.
Any drug or vaccine is a risk/benefit calculation. Someone in their 80s at high risk for example is in a totally different risk/benefit league to someone twenty in great health and they may want and benefit from this.
but I won’t take it, and neither will my kids, unless some draconian forcing happens

My wife did research on the mRNA Corona stuff at her old job. I've Red-pilled her on the COVID and vaccine stuff. She might have to take the vaccine since she now works in a hospital, so I'm a bit worried what the effects are going to be for her.

Interesting! What’s her opinion on it all?
my background is genetics and I think the mRNA vaccines are interesting. It’s just that they’re new, and anything new needs testing really really well. I find it really alarming that people who are bringing up genuine concerns are being demonised.

As far as I know, it is not mandatory at work yet. I had to opt-in for the vaccine by text message. As far as I know, my facility is getting a headcount for who is planning on getting vaccinated. The only thing I know right now is that my facility will be getting its very first doses on the week of Christmas.
As I was saying on another thread that a number of vaccines are allotted by region to certain healthcare facilities. I also know that before the vaccine rolls out to healthcare workers, nurses and health care providers would have to undergo training for this vaccine. I will keep the farms updated when I learn more information.

Taking a rushed vaccine is never a good idea, especially one that is apparently made by a black woman.

I'm skeptical not in the antivax sped way but just because it feels rushed. That said I'm like 99% sure my work will make me get it and I have no legal recourse to deny it unless I want to quit which will not be happening. I'm sure it'll be fine if I turn into more of a potato I'll let y'all know

No. At least not for a while. I want to see more testing done first, see if it works, see if any side effects pop up from those who are the first to receive it, and if I do decide to get it done, I want to be among the last, after some time has passed.

Heres the break down for a hospital place of work, that may or may not be mine, as they start getting the vaccine:
3 step roll out based on how much vaccine is on hand. Phase 1 is obviously people who work hands on with patients in close proximity. Phase 2 is working around patients but not hands on, so people who clean rooms. Phase 3 is accountants and stuff. All theyve said about requirements is "during phase 1 its not mandatory" so it may become mandated. The regular flu vaccine is already required.
Fun fast facts: the vaccine is actually 2 injections, 3 weeks apart. Theyre unrolling a mobile app for reporting side effects. And last i heard its not approved for pregnant women.

I won't right away I've had major allergic reaction to a the TB test, so I'm one of the people they warn against it.
