You will never eradicate this virus. By the time they get a vaccine ready, a new strain will always emerge. There have been flu vaccines out for years. There's always a new strain of flu that the vaccine won't touch. Covid is here to stay just as the flu is here to stay.

The way I have interpreted all this is the vaccine doesn’t keep you from getting covid but it minimizes the affects. Less symptoms and not dying
But still contagious, correct? So people at high risk should be getting it, not necessarily everyone.

This has been the weird thing with this virus. Many of those hit the hardest, dying, have been the ones who should have been able to shake it off. Healthy 35 - 45 year old athletic types with no history of cigarette or alcohol use, no diabetes, etc., dead.
Of course, it is your choice. At least half the local population here has abandoned all pretense of precaution.

I don't disagree that it could be a good thing. I'm arguing that since I have already caught it, and have the antibodies to prove it, there should be absolutely no benefit for me to get a vaccine. The fact that the CDC is telling me I still need to get it, but will not state why, concerns me.
A vaccine teaches your body to make antibodies. My body already makes antibodies. I'm tired of the fear mongering and just want some straight scientific data.

Yes, from what I have read you are still contagious to others
agree, but only while your body is fighting off the infection. But people who are not "high risk" can and do die, like maybe someone's parent or child....
There is a ton of information not given, for example why does everyone “need” it. If I don’t get it how am a “huge” risk to others, if they are vaccinated what’s my risk to them? My state is already putting laws in the books that in order to be in certain facilities one must produce their vaccination card. This is getting way out of hand, the total control due to fear mongering is well underway.

You touch on a sensitive area here. I'm getting it, the vaccine, even though I'm reasonably sure that I had it, the Covid, in December 2019 before we'd ever heard of it. I'm all for folks getting vaccinated, but I'm dead set against mandates. Nearly all mandates outside the 10 commandments are pretty much meaningless to me. Still, think about that polio thing. This disease is, of course, different.

The argument with polio for me is that the vaccine stops you from getting it. Has anybody that has gotten the vaccine actually contracted polio? This "vaccine" for covid doesn't actually prevent you from getting it. Just lessens the symptoms hopefully. I am not opposed to getting it but I also feel it has been rushed through and there is not enough data either way to say if it is a good or bad thing at this point. Also the government in a "free" country is going to tell people that they don't have a choice in the matter? I will be waiting until there can be more info behind it that can actually be trusted. Not the stuff being fed to everybody from the government.

I am not a conspiracy theorist...but when it comes to believing our government and pharma companies, I have doubt's about this vaccine. They say it is safe, however how can they be certain so soon. Too many unknowns for me to be trusting in these money grabbing fools. If I or Mrs. Slob get it again, we will seek treatment if necessary.

My dad, who is in his late 80s, who is in a care center, was diagnosed with covid a couple months ago. And while he got sick for a week or two, came through without incident. He has more problems falling out of his wheel chair, than anything else.
Gotta figure if an old indian isn't affected by it too much, not sure I understand how it affects so many people, so differently.

Heard two examples this morning of what I've been talking about.
First, a friend of mine's Dad, 96 years old, caught covid a few weeks ago. Little fever, some coughing, general malaise, says he's glad that's over, wonders what all the fuss is.
Second, different friend is telling me about his 40 year old Karate instructor, NO underlying problems whatsoever, is finally getting to go home after 6 weeks on the ventilator and another two convalescing in the hospital.
There's no telling with this virus, no way to guess who'll just get sick, who will die.
