Some cute replies to this thread. Maybe I will come back later to have a giggle.
Show me a good one and if the thing is still otherwise raging (as opposed to manageable with contract tracing) around the world at the time (there are good plague vaccines, not much plague going around, there are good smallpox vaccines, not my smallpox going around, not much swine flu going around, not much bird flu, mers also a bit on the low side...) and I will have it.
If the list of symptoms going around is accurate I probably already had it (was not fun but was back to form in short order), though if immunity wanes in the short term as some seem to be speculating I guess it might actually be time to go see a doctor/their practice nurse for the first time since signing up there a few years back, and first time in general for many more.
Re: US distribution of things. While the system there is geared towards maximum money extraction it seems vaccines at least are reduced to small copay at worst. Even without that if insurance has a choice between a vaccine and several weeks on a ventilator in an ICU before you kick the bucket, making billing you hard and also without any more nice payments, anyway then yeah even if they were utterly without morals (and blind to public outrage -- if people are all about burning things down over a criminal actively fighting with police and going crazy for a nice bit of placebo mask use so as not to be killing grand papa then I would hope something could come up here, though I have been surprised by variation in reactions before) it would still be the lesser financial decision.

As far as it being made mandatory... while I will call you a fool if you don't, if your 13 year old kid rocks up to my medic office and basic due diligence (do you have HIV, do you eat eggs, do you eat wheat...) I will give them all they need and consider a day well spent, would never convict a medic for doing that (even if it means dipping a toe in the nullification waters) and so forth then going back to principles I do have to allow you to be a fool in this regard. At the same time I don't know if it still is illegal to not report infectious diseases (was back in the 60s) but it probably ought to be, enforced quarantine of you and your should you develop something would not offend said same principles, no funds for no shot medics, and no school for you either (though schooling is) all work for me, and your kids will not be friends with my kids (granted your kids would probably not make it to be old enough usefully play but that is a different matter).
Re: errors in creation of vaccines.
Always happy to have examples of failures in things to study (failure analysis is kind of my thing) but would those listed thus far likely happen in the modern world? While my books on science and tech from that era are still pretty sharp today then controls and the like do a lot better. Rushed on what is otherwise a fairly new virus family for widespread vaccines (it is noted that some of the ones listed above, SARS and MERS being two of the more fun ones with it being 2002 for the former, but research desire was not there after it petered out, so much for both the capitalistic and non profit research approaches I guess) would be a prime candidate for something fun to happen but that does not preclude steps being in place to mitigate that.
Or if you prefer we were probably all here a few years back when that male pill trial was cancelled and it was noted that the first pill for women would likely not have got through if trialled today. Granted we did then see the female viagra (Addyi/flibanserin) get pushed through despite serious serious side effects and dubious efficacy so who knows.
