How far out are you drawing the line? You mention another year so it's gonna suck more in an ironic sense for you if side effects come out 2, 5, 20 years from now. I'll be the first in the queue personally. Lets get back outside, even I'm bored of these walls now.

> I'll be the first in the queue personally. Lets get back outside, even I'm bored of these walls now. Excellent! That is exactly what I want. The more people who take it because they are either at high risk, or because avoiding exposure seriously harms their lifestyle, the more data there will be for me when I decide to take it. As far as side effects go, the kind of things that take years to show up are usually things that you'd only see in a medicine that you have to take regularly. The latest research suggests that we probably get long term COVID immunity. Those few cases of people getting it twice were probably people who got a small viral load the first time and didn't develop strong immunity. All the COVID vaccines look like they will be take once (or take twice over a short period) and that's it, so we almost certainly won't see anything like people developing cancer from it 5 years later. Those things take times to build up, like say we had with Actos and bladder cancer, with each time you take it adding to the risk. If there are long term bad effects from the COVID vaccines, the underlying damage will happen within a couple weeks or so of taking them, and then should start being detectable in the health statistics of people who took it versus people who did not within a year. Thus, at the latest we should know about any long term effects by the time my Walmart+ subscription is up for renewal, which is perfect timing.

  Have a plan and stick to it! Sounds good! Good points regarding the build up, thanks for the response

It seems like tzs is some kind of basement dweller who would prefer to never leave the house even in the absence of a pandemic, in which case holding off on the vaccine does seem like the optimal move.
