Former Presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton volunteer to get coronavirus vaccine publicly to prove it's safe

[billsherman]

People are dying at record pace.

It’s nice to see some leadership here.

In addition, healthcare workers, and recipients of the vaccine would do all a service by getting the word out that there will be some side effects associated with the vaccine and are just a sign it is stimulating the immune system.

Note the word, “volunteer”.
Not “force”.

Amen. They are getting paid for life so the least they can do is provide some positive PR.

And if anything bad happens to them, they can afford health care and servants and all sorts of creature comforts to make their life easier

Over 100, 000 in hospital with Covid. A very concerning daily infection rate now.
Good on them.

 

[billsherman]

And if anything bad happens to them

Have you looked at the trial stats? The vaccines are very safe.

It’s a terrible shame that this nation has so heartily embraced an anti-intellectual culture that basic health information has become controversial.

I imagine Tucker is already setting up spots on his show for people who get hit by buses the day after getting the vaccine.

 

[0Scarlett_nidiyilii]

I have, and they look very nice.

The only concern here is with potential for trial errors such as the half dose error.

2,800 dead in 24 hrs.

2,800 dead in 24 hrs.

The covid-19 death toll in the US is averaging about three 9/11s per week. Where’s the outrage?

 

[humilityseeker]

Today’s figures

Another day of shattered records for covid deaths with 2,861 deaths in the last 24 hrs again.

2 people are dying each minute of Covid.

New infections over the last 24 hrs -
213,830.

Let me repeat that 2 people are dying per minute from Covid.

Outrage should start right here on CAF in response to some of these
1% threads and no mask etc threads.

1% today means 2 people dying each minute.

You either value life, or you don’t. There is no in between.

 

[0Scarlett_nidiyilii]

But here’s the thing.

There’s are two ways to deal with an infection.

Prevent it, or cure it.

I’m all for working towards researching a vaccine.

I’m also all for working towards a cure for the people who have caught it.

I’m not for a panicked fight/flight/freeze response where we assign heroes and villains based on willingness to take a very new vaccination for a very new disease.

I don’t think that people can be forced to be vaccinated. They could, however, not have access to certain privileges if they do not. Ex: to travel to some countries one must have received certain vaccines.

Have you looked at the trial stats? The vaccines are very safe.

I have a concern that a vaccinated person may experience an unrelated death and the public will see the vaccine and death as having a causal relationship.
