Will you take an approved COVID-19 vaccine?

OP do you plan on getting a mortgage down the road? Some people are finding when they go sale agreed etc they cant get life insurenace/mortgage protection cover as their medical report showed they had covid and insurance and insurance companies are afraid to take them on as we dont know the long term impacts of covid. Also if you so get cover you could end up paying a lot more for it.

Also i know someone late 20 who got it last year no underlying health issues fit as a fiddle and still dealing with long covid. Has only been able to return to work on reduced hours which is driving her mad

I'm sorry about your family member, truly. Cancer is awful. I want it to end too, it's **** all round . I don't think vaccines can do that but I hope I'm wrong.

Wtf is that true? Discrimination based on a virus in this day and age? It's no one's fault if they get infected with an airborne pathogen ffs. Ridiculous.

There's always some smartarse starting another pointless covid related thread.

Seeing a lot of opinions that getting a vaccine will get things back to normal. It won't. You're kidding yourself if you think it will. The only things that stop the spread of Covid is what we have already been doing for the past 2 years: washing hands, social distancing, wearing masks when you can't social distance / or in close proximity to others, keeping hands sanitised, restricting movement when there is a spike and locking down were it is out of control. The next plan should be to remove it from society completely then and only then will things get back to normal, as the vaccine is only buying time.

The vaccine projects you from serious illness that is all. As I already said you can still get Covid. Just like the flu or gastroenteritis the best way to avoid passing it onto others or getting it, with or without a vaccine is by keeping your hands clean, social distancing, wearing masks and or being restrictive by remaining cautious.

Absolute losers? Wtf, if some people want to continue wear masks, what's the problem?

There is legislation in relation to the misuse of items you list above, and if by misusing them you harm others, there are consequences. Being a responsible member of society does require some conscious consideration of the effects of your actions on others, why should the spread of a disease which can kill be any different?

“Losers” wearing masks to protect themselves and others?, I am beginning to suspect the motives of the op in starting this thread. The cave dwellers are logging in.

I’m not scared of the virus, I’ve had it and I’m also fully vaccinated. I want to end the lockdowns

why are you afraid to get the vaccine?

why are you such a coward?

“My reasons are my reasons alone.”

yeah, nobody wants to admit to being a coward or paranoid conspiracy theorist

If Covid was a mild illness for the vast majority of people because everyone is vaccinated, then there won’t need to be any more lockdowns. The only reason we have lockdowns is because it’s a very serious illness for enough of the population that hospitals cannot cope with the volume of care required and then mortality rates shoot up

I think most experts are predicting that the virus will become endemic and will become something like a strain of the common cold (as happened with the last major coronavirus pandemic - the Russian flu in the 19th century). Already, for people who are vaccinated and catch Covid, any symptoms for the vast majority of people take the form of common cold symptoms e.g. sneezing, runny nose. So the vaccine is helping things get back to normal. You can’t eradicate common colds from society. It is of course a different story for unvaccinated people, which is why they should get vaccinated.
