Obviously. You'd have to actually be a braindead idiot to think you know more than the hundreds if not thousands of trained professionals involved in producing this vaccine. Neither I, reddit nor twitter have the knowledge to even bother trying to be concerned about it.

This isn't some mad scientist concoction where they just threw some shit in a barrel, super cooled it and went oh wow this shit actually works I was just trying to make a hangover cure. It's 100% understood in what it's made of and how it functions. It would be ignorant and stupid to speculate and dispute what is already well documented and known. At least unless you're actually trained in the field to do so and have factual reason to.

So yes since I am neither uneducated nor prone to having sexual relations with my own bloodline, I will take the vaccine the moment I am able to.

You should try thinking for yourself.
I'm homeschooled. I don't get out much.
Instead of mindlessly believing whatever anti-vax shit your parents preach at home you should actually try thinking for yourself. Whatever you read here is just text, while your parents communicate with you at home using their body language and voice tonality in addition to words. By using more influential means of communicating with you they control your opinion to a far greater extent. Regardless of which side evidence and logic is in favour of, your parents are the ones who control your opinion. Words are wasted on you.

My parents may hate masks, but they comply without question, and they support the vaccine. I believe it's good to question everything.

Skepticism is important, but skepticism doesn't just mean that you question everything. It also means you don't accept claims until you have good reason to believe them. You've posted a lot of unsubstantiated and ridiculous nonsense on this website that doesn't reflect a skeptical mindset. In fact, you seem to be the opposite of a skeptic. You accept or question things based purely on religious and/or political dogma, not by practicing skepticism.

so much for the vaccine the virus has mutated now into a new strain. if it gets out of Britain we are all fucked now :creep:
The fact that Covid mutated right when the vaccine became a thing is the most 2020 thing to happen this year.
(I know it mutated in September, I just wanted to make a doomer humor style joke)
I'm homeschooled. I don't get out much.
Once Covid starts to become less of an issue, you should really get out more.

I'm not sure exactly where I fit in the questionnaire.

I am avoiding taking the vaccine before 2022 and I've taken steps to be part of the minimal risk group by working from home and only going out twice per month since the start of 2020, but I will take it if necessary i.e. the infection rates in my area spike so high that I'm no longer part of the minimal risk or if I need to travel to a higher risk area.

That said, the RNA vaccines are on the very bottom of my list and as with most of Asia, I don't see the merit of giving the first few batches to the elderly outside of high-risk environments; if anything were to happen they would be the first to feel the adverse effects and are much frailer than the general population.

Our parents and children are the ones we live to protect, so putting them in the front line is a karmic no-no.

From a World perspective, at this phase and through to 2022, I would feel it more normal to give working-age adults the majority of the doses that are not for essential workers and high-risk environments, seeing that working-age adults are the ones that are travelling the most and have to interact with others the most, especially in low-income households.

I recognise each country and culture has their own views on this; this Comment is to explain why some would inject their working class first.

the vaccine is useless now they took too long it's too late. now the virus has mutated it's been confirmed people who have been vaccinated have caught this new strain and are in ICU. SO it's going to start all over again next year. so prepare yourself this time

Vaccines can be updated in months to protect against new mutations. I would like to see evidence to support your claim.

"We have a vaccine!"
"Wait! There's a new strain that the vaccine doesn't work on!"

several months later...

Just got my first shot of the vaccine today, so far so good, my arm is a very slightly sore and that's about it so far. I'm not a 5G tower feeding information to the government yet so there's that. :yaynds:

Also, to the person who said that people got infected after getting the vaccine and wound up in the ICU. It's absolutely possible for that to happen, it depends on how far the person was into their vaccination process. Once you get the shot it doesn't mean you're immediately immune to it, your body needs to process it. Also, after the first shot you only develop about 50-60% immunity to the virus and that occurs about 1-2 weeks after the first shot, after the second shot your immunity goes up to around 95% from what their studies have found, again it takes around 1-2 weeks for the second shot to be fully affective as well.

So, going back, if those people got the virus after getting their vaccination then more then likely they weren't fully vaccinated yet or they were the unlucky 5% of people who unfortunately become infected even after vaccination. There's also no conclusion yet on whether the new mutations deem the vaccine useless but some early sources/studies are seeing that it's mainly just making itself more contagious. Also, viruses mutate all the time and there has been many many mutations of COVID-19 so far.
