Well yeah, I don't want one yet either. I'll take a flu vaccine any day of the week, but who wants to be first in line for a new type of vaccine? Makes you feel like a guinea pig. I'm going to wait until other people try it out first.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI'm really only willing to be first in line for the same reason I'm not that scared for my personal health in the first place: I'm relatively young, in acceptable shape with no serious health issues, so the chances that I'm the one to hit some serious undetected side effect are well below what I'm willing to risk for the social good. My parents are thinking along the same lines as you and I don't blame them for it.
- blacksmith_tb 6y agoHmm, I'd be fine with getting even an experimental vaccine, it's far more likely to fail by being ineffective than to actually harm me. Not that I'd want to discover it wasn't effective of course, but our immune systems are challenged all the time by all kinds of viruses and bacteria.
