So far the two are pretty successful with low amounts of side affects. The are not giving you Covid. They are tricking your system into believing you have it and thus build up antibodies.
I am down for it, but we will have lots more data by the time it gets to the general population. Medical workers and elderly will be the first to get it and somehow I expect the Politicians and NBA players etc. will get to the front of the line before the general public gets it. :nchantr
Agreed. If they start in December, by February we'll have a pretty good idea about at least the short term side effects.I agree D.
However a lot of Beta testers will come before us.
I am sure we will have a clue by the time the general public gets one. I am guessing late February/ early March.
If shit is hitting the fan we should know.
Where does this number come from? (Other than the obvious right-wing/QAnon nonsense claims.) Covid is on pace to be as deadly as cancer and heart attacks. With all the preventive measures. Without, it’d have already surpassed. So, seriously, what is 99.98%?The 99.98% of us want to get on with life
Researchers estimated infection survival rates*:
99.77% overall in low-income countries with a younger age demographic
98.85% overall in high-income countries with a older age demographic
99.62% for age group 50-55**
and risk of death doubles approximately every eight years of age.
*using IFR rather than CFR
** From the report: ""we estimate that around one in 260 people aged 50-55 years die if infected," said senior author Lucy Okell, PhD."

Yay America, where any dick with a computer can become a statistician, declare a problem not a problem, and then present their position as valid as anybody's. In fact, maybe even more valid because they're not part of what they've been told by other armchair-scientist dickheads is the "corrupted establishment."
And boy am I tired of it.
I'm going to become a motorcycle "scientist" because I've read a bunch of shit on the internet. Therefore, I'm telling you that you should always wheelie when lanesplitting, because statistically, there are no fatalities reported in 12 counties in California showing fatalities while wheelieing during lanesplitting. If you disagree with me, you're just part of the corrupted motorcycle-safety establishment, who are whipping up anti-wheelieing hysteria so they can continue to get their research grants.
In other words, GTFO with your diminished, anti-scientific excusing of indefensible behavior.
Of course, this is all delivered with much respect and love for a fellow BARFer.
Fear mongering?
As opposed to anti maskers?
Ask the people of South and North Dakota about that fear mongering, or down in San Antonio where they have freezer trucks for the stacks of bodies from Covid-19.....
I'll take somebody who cares about the welfare of others over those who don't give a fuck about others any day.
So I looked up some data about San Antonio ... found info for the entire county (not just city of San Antonio) ...
Number of people that died from Covid19:
11/27 - 1
11/26 - 0
11/25 - 6
11/24 - 2
11/23 - 0
11/22 - 0
11/21 - 2
11/20 - 7
11/19 - 0
11/18 - 3
So maybe fear mongering = saying "they have freezer trucks for the stacks of bodies from Covid-19" when reality is these numbers above.
I know each number of the dead is a loss for a family and we should do everything we can to avoid unneeded deaths ... and maybe people don't listen too well if you say "we have an average of 2 people dying each day over the last 10 days" but they do listen if you say "we have freezer trucks lining up for stacks of dead bodies".
But that also sounds like fear mongering to me.

I mixed up San Antonio with El Paso. They're all the same to me...
