30 Million Americans Vaccinated In 25 Days

Knew one of you would latch on to the "afraid". I was simply using the word as it was in the question.
I am highly suspect and not confident in its efficacy. The fact you have paid to promote advocates from the "mayo clinic" telling you its ok is cause for alarm. You're not in the medical field so you don't know these people or what motivates them.
The first lie they told you is the vaccine was "approved". It is not. MMR is approved, yellow fever is approved, small pox is approved. The aforementioned vaccines underwent the requisite trials and testing. The china flu vax is approved under EMERGENCY authorization for use only. Nothing more. This is not a subtle difference either.
Again, you can put that crap in your body. Not required for a bug that is .002% lethal. Yet you are jumping at the opportunity. Then again, I don't have anyone lording over me to take either.
Smarter people than you are choosing not to take the vax. That should open your eyes.
Good luck.

If not for the vaccine, what is the answer? Being fully open doesn’t seem to be working, admittedly an under prepared infrastructure is part of the problem.
A under tested vaccine has its risks, but on my risk matrix it appears to be the quickest least risky way to resume normal life.

If you weren’t afraid of the vaccine, you wouldn’t have a problem getting it.
I’m not afraid of either, but my risk assessment tells me I’d rather risk the possibility of having an adverse reaction to the vaccine than risk transmitting COVID to someone who might be severely affected by it.
So far the death count from the vaccine is zero, so I think it’s a safe bet. If you don’t agree, that’s fine, but try just once to resist crapping on other people that disagree with you. It’s hard, but based on your posts you’re a badass so I’m sure you can pull it off if you put your mind to it.

I was thinking about Florida Dr. Gregory Michael's possible death due to an adverse COVID vaccine reaction, which is being investigated with no firm conclusions yet established.
Even if his death is directly attributable to the COVID vaccine...that'd make odds of death from adverse vaccine reaction what, 1 in 5,000,000?
Compare that to the odds of dying from COVID. Based on the 9 Jan update to the CDC COVID Data Tracker, CFR is 1.68%; consider the CDC's estimate of 8 actual infections to every confirmed positive and you'd get an IFR of 0.21%.
Across all demographics, that'd make odds of death from COVID 1 in 476.
Of course, not all demographics are equal with regards to COVID outcomes. Looking at reported CDC demographics for cases and deaths, and considering the CDC's estimate of actual vs confirmed positive cases, the odds of death from COVID for the 0-49 age demographic is 1 in 6859.
While I understand the reluctance some may have to be an 'early adopter' of a new type of vaccine due to the unknown...given the scientifically-determined efficacy of mRNA vaccines established via historical methods, the math seems to make vaccination a fairly straightforward value proposition.

If Trump from day 1 had said "wear a mask, do your part, be a good American" then we would be in a lot better place.

We’re told getting vaccinated doesn’t keep you from spreading it, only from getting infected yourself, just like having the antibodies may not keep you from being a carrier. I’d say people who feel they’re at risk should take responsibility and get vaccinated and take precautions, and not fall into the trap of depending on someone else’s actions keeping them safe.
IF you are healthy and would rather risk the illness than get vaccinated, you are actually doing a service to society. As a vaccinated person, you could be spreading it without knowing you are a carrier. If you aren't vaccinated, you would know you have the illness and could take precautions to prevent transmission.
Argue amongst yourselves and please include Dr (Mrs) Phins in the debate.

HOWEVER
Drs. Fauci and Adams are not blameless on mask messaging to the public. BOTH told the public “there’s no need to wear a mask if you aren’t sick”. The message changed months later, ostensibly due to “new science” but Fauci said in the media the initial statement was made to prevent a run on scarce PPE by the general public.
That was an admission of something known as “a lie”.
It was a conscious decision on their parts to lie to the American public, and ABSOLUTELY contributed to some people questioning the credibility of public health officials/statements to this very day.
And yes, whenever and why-ever the message changed on masks, it would have been very helpful for Trump to embrace them as simple mitigation to keep the economy open.
