Thankfully, the US antivax movement is not as strong in the rest of the world, and thankfully not everyone needs to be vaccinated for the R0 figure to drop cons

  This isn't "antivax" ... Are all drugs that have been approve effective and safe? Including Viox? We have had bad vaccines before (The 1960s Swing Flu) that lead to serious complications. I got most of my shots (MMR, Polio, Meningitis, Hep B, Tetanus booster, etc.), but I would NOT take this one. It's been rushed through the process, and vaccine safety takes years. This is a brand new type of vaccine (mRNA), a type that has never been successfully deployed before, for a virus family that's never had a successful vaccine before. Stop dismissing legitimate concerns as "antivax". Each vaccine is very different. I'm not at high risk (<40) and I'm also a software engineer who has watched millions in losses from badly designed, badly implemented, rushed software. Skipping the 8 ~ 10 year set of standard tests for this vaccine does not increase my confidence. I'll wait until I turn 48~49 and watch what happens with all the volunteers first before making my assessment based on all the available data.
