To Vaccinate or not to Vaccinate?

 

Astrazeneca: The Coronavirus Vaccine is 70% effective on average. This British born vaccine is known so far to have NO serious safety issues. It has positive results in its phase three of clinical trials. It is being tested around the world and is being manufactured in India. But before we get too hopeful, we should still be careful. There are still may things we do NOT  know about any virus vaccine emerging. Hoe long does this vaccine last?  Is it fully safe for everyone? Experts  don’t think it protects against infection either. So they are not looking at prevention of infections. They are looking for prevention of symptoms. So these  are big unanswered questions that still need to be answered before everyone gets all excited over that magic shot in the arm.

 We don’t know how many people are going to use a vaccine since we can’t even convince folks to wear a mask. I’m sure our military will be able to get this vaccine to America but we can’t be sure that there won’t be confusion over its distribution since testing has been and still is a nightmare with lines everywhere to be tested and wait time sporadic. For results. Who is going to get it? How are they going to get it and where are they going to get it? Without a national mandate it will be a continued mess. Leaving decisions up to individual states has not worked in disease prevention in the past. There will also be 3 or 4 vaccines available by various companies available so which vaccine will you get? We need to put some Moms in charge because they are the ones who always sort out the confusion in households with great results. Men are great at thinking about stuff supposedly on the golf courses. This time lets at least have one policy for all Americans and stop the confusion and chaos.
