It will certainly be interesting. Propaganda and agendas aside, I predict more people will end up accepting the vaccine by their own will than anticipated. Today was the first day of administration at my hospital, and I didn’t come across anyone that didn’t want to sign up. In prior weeks/months, people kept saying they didn’t trust it and were going to opt out.
For the most part, the safety data certainly looks promising. Long term, who really knows. Some people are waiting for the first wave of people to get vaccinated and see “how they do.” The only person I heard about feeling sides from the first administration today was our covering pulmonologist today- who just felt a bit ”under the weather” after. I think as people see other people get it and tolerate it well- more people will follow suit. I guess it remains to be seen if that is good, bad, or indifferent in itself.
I mostly decided to get my first dose tomorrow because while the vaccine itself has some unanswered questions- so does the China virus and the long term impact that can have on our health. So I said fuk it....let’s do this!
