I’m just curious as to the percentage of people on here that wouldn’t. Assume it went through all testing phases and passed. I’ll start.

Damn straight I’d take it.

The Trump administration is giving Pfizer 2 billion dollars to produce 100 million doses of a vaccine that has not even been though all the proper trials yet. Trump and trying to get them to bang through something before the election.

I would suggest red hat Republicans take it first and the rest of us will wait till Biden is President and see what vaccines are available next year after the proper time and trials are done on a vaccine.

Don't you think he is hedging the be?. If it works, Pfizer can sell to anyone on the globe at whatever price they decide. So wait for it to be effective and fully tested and maybe the U.S. will only get a small percentage of the production of the vaccine while some Middle Eastern country or some European nation ups the price and grabs the doses.

There is NO obligation for Pfizer to sell to the U.S., but if they have pre-sold doses, we get those.

But hey, anything Trump does is bad because he is Trump.

I have been getting a flu shot for the last 15 years, the one year I didnt get it I got the flu, but they are constantly revising the flu shot

Why anyone would take a CoVid shot from a first generation batch without any evidence of side effects or even it effectiveness is foolish

but the lemmings out there will be the first in line to get the shot because the media will hype it that way and the company that gets it to the market will become zillionaires...UNTIL the first person either has a horrific side effect or dies from it, then the lawsuits will begin


Think about it this way, they have been trying to cure everything from cancer to AIDS and you expect me to believe that they came up with a cure for CoVid in less than SIX months

Please prove all of those comments....show me how he is a bigot? Stupid buffoon...he is worth way the fuck more than most of us and got elected President of the United States....so not sure stupid buffoon holds up....corrupt....now don't head down that road, because Biden has him beat on the corrupt side hands down...

You were the one saying buying doses was somehow wrong....you still have not addressed my comment about bet hedging.....Or I guess you would sit around and wait and then compete with all other nations for the doses.

Said people should put disinfectant "under the skin" to cleanse covid.

His hair and orange face look stupid and buffoonish

The whole way he tries to run the government is stupid and buffoonish.
His own Secretary of State said "He's a moron" lol
His own sister said "He's a clown"


Show me how he is corrupt?

Russia related:

-Manifort home release

-Stone commuted sentence

-Flynn got Bill Barr to try to dismiss charges after Flynn had already plead guilty.

Tried to blackmail Ukraine to get dirt on his Presidential Challenger (Got Impeached)

Where are his taxes?

Show me how he is a bigot?

Tried to say the first black President wasn't born here. It is NOT bigoted to merely pose a question about whether a person was born in the U.S. to make sure he or she is qualified for the office. Again, a total stretch of the term bigot or race or whatever.

Said Neo natzis were very fine people..no re-read the entire text of that interview. He was saying there were good people on both sides of the issue. There were people protesting that were NOT blatant neo-nazis in the crowd. He has consistently said David Dukes etal are bad people.

Said an American Congress woman should go back where she came from

.......want more?.....Quite honestly, she is a whiny bitch that doesn't seem to like anything about this country. If the U.S. is so bad, maybe she should find a better place to live.


Show me how he is a stupid buffoon?

Said people should put disinfectant "under the skin" to cleanse covid. Your comment is incorrect. He was asking a question about whether using ultraviolet light or disinfectant could be somehow brought into the body. He was posing a question and stupid reporters and others ran with the Trump said to inject your body.....read the text of that press conference.

His hair and orange face look stupid and buffoonish So he uses bronzer...big fucking deal. And there are many older dudes who do comb overs.....By your standards, Nancy Pelosi is a buffoon for how SHE looks....

The whole way he tries to run the government is stupid and buffoonish. The way his predecessor ran the government was far worse. Fast and furious, Obamacare keep your doctor and plan, pallets of cash to Iran, etc.
His own Secretary of State said "He's a moron" lol Masculine ego taking over because he was thrown under the bus.
His own sister said "He's a clown" Someone trying to make a buck on a book....


Show me how he is corrupt?

Russia related:

-Manifort home release

-Stone commuted sentence We are releasing known felons of violent crime right and left. Stone was railroaded and when the dust settled, all they proved is he lied....

-Flynn got Bill Barr to try to dismiss charges after Flynn had already plead guilty. He plead guilty under coercion. I bet if they threatened to come after YOUR family, you would do the same. And the FISA warrants are all based upon bullshit.

Tried to blackmail Ukraine to get dirt on his Presidential Challenger (Got Impeached) Hey, let's talk about Ukraine and the Biden family fortune....LOL

Where are his taxes? He has filed all of the required personal finance documents currently required of the office.....

Paying off Stormy Daniels.....influential people pay off others to limit media coverage....bet you would be shocked by how many politicians and big money people do it.....

Do you honestly believe he is paying 2billion doses with no preconditions?

He pretty much said he was gonna do this at the launch of operation warp speed but we all got the cliffs notes version of the plan. Im sure there is more detail in the plan than ok whoever gets there fist gets 2 billion.

I'd vote for a bag of rocks before voting for Trump, but I agree with this deal.

The money will basically go towards producing the doses so that they are already on the shelf BEFORE they get FDA approval. This is a common strategy in the pharmaceutical world, but companies typically only build enough to support the initial demand. In this case, the intent would be to cover 1/3 of the US population on day 1, and be prepared to very quickly ramp up on day 2.

2 billion is chump change compared to the potential benefit to the economy if the vaccine is effective. The quicker an effective vaccine can be deployed, the faster the economy recovers.

Remember too that FDA approval is not just about the vaccine, but the manufacturing facilities and the quality systems in place for production. In that regard, Pfizer probably has fewer risks than Moderna or some other start-up.

I'd be much more concerned with Trump strong-arming the FDA to prematurely approve the vaccine just for political points. I would definitely take the vaccine, but I would want to see the safety and efficacy data.

I’m still surprised how many people said “no.”

You do realize for a vaccine to really work across a population, that not only does it have to be effective, but enough people have to take it so with the vaccine the population reaches herd immunity, which means that there are enough people who are immune to the disease to impede transmission enough so that the virus is suppressed.

If the vaccine is only 50% effective, and only 25% of the population decides to take it when it comes out, this probably won’t be enough to create this state of herd immunity, and yes I’m including the fact we get closer to herd immunity the more people get and recover from COVID-19.

I’d look into safety and efficacy of the vaccine when it comes out, and if it is both, I’d take it ASAP. Everyone needs to take it. We need to beat down this virus once and for all.

Molecular biology is usually directional: DNA -> RNA -> Protein. One of the vaccines is mRNA. It uses your body to make proteins that will prime the immune system. mRNA->Protein, not mRNA->DNA.
