If you trust your government without question regarding health care decisions, go look up the Tuskegee Syphilis Trials. 'Nuf said. Unless you think your US gov has become more transparent, more altruistic, and more honest.

Personally very concerned about a completely new type of vaccine: the mRNA vaccine. I don't understand the nuances (to say the least); I do understand that it's new, it's rushed, and there are ZERO longitudinal studies on mRNA vaccines in humans. The death rate on Covid is under 1%, and mostly for fat, OLD non-Asian types. What's the rush?

There are at least two conversations in this thread:

1. What gets the flying public back quickest?
2. What is my personal risk for this disease, and should I be concerned about the vaccine?

I've no answers. I'll pass if I can. As I understand it, the vaccine only confers limited immunity: you'll still get sick, only less so.
