I have one word...thalidomide

Im gonna wait for a bit to find out what the side effects actually r, which is probably just as well, since its gonna be hard to get for a while

I didn't realise you were pregnant, congrats.

Thalidomide was a drug prescribed for morning sickness, not a vaccine. Comments like that just give anti vaxers a hard on & have no place in this discussion.

The Vaccine, is it just meds or is it similar to the flu jab ie contains dead Covid cells. If it is dead Covid i am not sure, i would want it. I have had the Flu jab twice and both times it made me ill for 2-3 weeks infact i haven't had flu make me feel as ill as the jab did. Needless to say i refuse the Flu jab every year even though it's recommended for folks with Diabetes.

I know the 'oxford' one is a different type to the 'super cold' one and that there's 3 types of different types of vaccine and there's a version of all three being worked on .... I don't have the exact details though.

A few people have said this to me, I think it's a meme going around social media... started in Russian disinformation factories I expect.

I'm not sure why mass Vaccinations are needed for a Virus that kills one or two percent of the people who contract it ? surely it should be rolled out for the elderly or people with health problems, like the Flu jab is !!! I'm not an Anti vaxer by the way, and I get the Flu jab every year !!!

It will be rolled out for the elderly and people with health problems, that's the current plan.

To kill off the virus. Mass vaccination provides cover to the majority of the populus, reducing spread. Otherwise it keeps moving through the population with possible mutations.

Haha, really? I just remember it from the billy joel song

I couldve picked any number of drugs, thats just one of the most infamous.
Im not saying not to get it, just that this one was obviously rushed and since im not in a situation where i really need it immediately, im gonna wait n see after a few million ppl get it, make sure it doesnt do anything unexpected. Which can and does happen all the time.

Its not a friggin conspiracy. Im not an anti vaxxer, im a 'stay away from pharmaceuticals unless they r necessary and proven safe'
