    seven doses versus five is quite an increase.....I hope they aren't watering it down. :unsure: Seriously it's good that there are several makers (and maybe more coming who knows?) of the vaccine because perhaps if somebody has a bad reaction to one vaccine, they will be able to tolerate a different brand. Is this a possibility or are all the vaccines nearly exactly the same? Something to think about as the vaccines trickle down to everybody over the next few months.

    Wow, you came up with some links to bolster your claims and now I have the option of digging up links to bolster my claims - what a country! It's almost like people can dig up enough info to support any position they favor.

    I don't wonder why you think my sources are trash - they don't support your narrative. God himself could take over my keyboard and the source would still be trash if you disagree with the message. Nobody is immune to this, not myself nor you.

    The survey was from five months to two months ago, when very few details were known about the vaccines. And, of course, very few people in LA trust Trump's CDC - with good reason.

    The point isn't that you can't find links about Biden, it's that you chose to ignore Trump's rather public history because it fatally undercut your point.

    If there are serious short term problems we'll have a lot less doctors to take care of covid victims, since I don't know of any doctors who are refusing to take it. I'm sure there are some, but I don't know of any. By definition we won't know of any long-term problems for reasons even Teh Baba could figure out.

    The Nurse I Live With says she is against getting the vaccination until more testing is done. I threatened to withhold sex.

    It comes in a sealed vial, numbnuts. Ever see an old-school insulin vial?

    While I agree with you that it's highly unlikely that anyone is "watering it down", your reply shows a stunning lack of imagination for a fiction writer.

    1. Why couldn't it have been "watered down" in the manufacturing process?
    2. Your screencap literally shows the seal being penetrated by a syringe. If a syringe can enter to extract medicine, a syringe can enter to inject dilutants.

    I expected better of you!

    (I did not expect better from OF).

    I'm assuming - silly me, considering what the past four years have taught us - that there would be some sort of oversight at the manufacturer to predicate against that. Just stealing whole cases of the stuff and selling it on the street (or making your own snakeoil and calling it a vaccine) would seem more practical. :shrug:

    By the end of the months millions will have received it. Isn’t that enough testing?

    I think she's listening to the antivaxers at work. She says most of the nurses she works with are female Trumps. But it must affect her thinking. That and all the crappy care these days.

    Her concern is no long term effects have been studied.

    That's true of any new vaccine. Chicken/egg conundrum at work.

    Normally there are years before it's approved.

    I think she's fed up at work. Conditions are terrible. So anything work related that's invasive she's reflexively against.

    Certainly true, but ever since thalidomide the FDA's been super-extra-special-lawsuit-conscious careful about approving anything without waaaay more testing than might be considered necessary. Even so, drugs like Celebrex slip through and then have to be relabeled after the evidence of cardiac incidents.

    But there isn't time in this case. If the medical community waits for the FDA to go through its usual circuitous drag-ass routine, there will be multiple times the current death rate.

    So far the adverse events seem to be limited to allergic reactions in people who are already allergic to damn near anything, so ruling out anyone who requires an EpiPen - for now - is wise.

    In order to have long-term data, you need to have people who are still alive long term. :shrug:

    I’m putting my money (literally) on the single dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine is crazy burdensome to administer. And to do it twice...

    Johnson & Johnson are making one too? Everybody's getting in on this. I'm holding out for the "as seen on TV" version myself.
