I mean I'm skeptical of a rushed or botched vaccine due to capitalism wanting shit to reopen asap but I don't believe they cause autism or have tracking microchips in them.
See I had this position until I read up on the intellectual property shenanigans and realized that the drug companies would make more profit securing their position as the reliable and available vaccine producer for this crisis. They’ll make more money being the sole producer for the globe (and gouging their eyes out for profit while doing it) than by putting out BS to get the economy reopened. It’s like being in the lion cage at the zoo, it should be safe as long as their bloodlust has been sated in some other way
I plan on getting mine too but now with this J&J recall I'm hesitant. The later on this month is the phase in my state where anyone over 16 can get one and I dunno what to do. I have no problem waiting longer as I don't go out much for extended periods of time and I'm religious about my mask, hand washing and disinfecting anything coming into the home.
Idk the blood clotting thing is a 0.0000167% chance. Even if you're young and healthy the chances of dying and having serious complications from covid is much higher. So I'll definitely get the vaccine when it arrives in my country and it is deemed medically necessary for my population group to do so. I'm not going to queue cut or anything like that.
I totally understand. Unfortunately, none of this is easy because it requires trusting people and institutions who have profited, and are actively profiting, by being untrustworthy assholes.
This has by and large been my position on these vaccines as well. I still got mine but was apprehensive given the capitalist framework to say the least.

Makes sense.
Ditto. I still got my shots, but I'm fully aware that Pharma's track record of doing shady shit for their bottom line is far from non-existent.

Lock the country down for a couple weeks back in march of 2019 then we could take as long as we needed with the vaccine.
