First, I am not a liberal, socialist, or a Democrat. I am a lucky survivor of a 4 month hospital stay 6 years ago. I had triple bypass surgery in October 2014. At some point, (probably dropped) , I suffered 4 broken ribs that lead to extreme double pneumonia , coded, revived, and had a trac and put on a ventilator. I was on that ventilator for 6 weeks. In mid December, I got to go home. After 4 days, I was still very weak and went back in the hospital. After a week, my condition had improved and I was on scheduled to leave the hospital again. On Christmas Eve, I coded again and this time, I had MRSA bacterial pneumonia. I had another. trac and put back on a ventilator.. I was in a medically induced coma. After another 6 weeks on the ventilator, I was getting well again but then I came down with c- dif ". All the antibiotics had killed the good bacteria. I finally got out of the hospital in late February and was sent home on oxygen. After 3 months of physical therapy, I was able to get off oxygen. I did suffer permanent heart and lung damage, but I am still alive and can still enjoy boating, hunting, watching sports. I am limited in what I can do, but I still love living and all that goes with it.
My attitude on the vaccine is different than most of the posters on this thread. Today, I can’t see my friends or do much but stay at home, wear my mask, socially distance, use hand sanitizer, or wash my hands. I hate being a hostage to this virus. My only chance to realistically get out and resume my life is to be vaccinated. I have not seen my patents in 3 months because they are in the high 80’s.
I am no fan of government overreach and I am a strong conservative with some libertarian leanings. I hate the nanny state and certainly don’t want to defend the police.
In my case, I want and need the vaccine. I am not ready to die and I certainly don’t want to pass the virus to my family or friends.

In an ironic twist and after posting on this thread a few days ago, I tested positive yesterday. Been feeling a bit off, minor sinus infection, but I decided to get tested prior to Christmas eve parties. I don't feel that bad, in fact, I almost went to the gym yesterday before i decided to get tested. Christmas is now shot to hell.
Doesn't change my mind at all about the vaccine. If this were 2019, I'd probably have gone to a party, refused handshakes or hugs and stayed away from folks.
Not a big deal at all..

"Covid Complications"
Thought of you guys and this thread yesterday. One of my aforementioned friends is a family and Emergency Room doctor. She isnt really for the vaccine for the general population but thinks that everybody that is at risk, due to age or preexisting condition, a doctor, nurse and first responder doesnt have a choice. Fair, understood and accepted. But the part you guys will think is interesting is the way she corrected me. It may not be due to Covid but the correct term they were instructed to use is "Covid Complications"
At which point Im sure you guys will say the same thing I did. "Ahhh, ok, complications" Uh hummm...
Wow, this thread escalated nicely in 2 days.

If you think this is a world wide scam, you are going to think that, if you are in the camp that it is real and emergency rooms are filling up because of it, you will not change your mind and seek info to back that up.
Its really as simple as that.
As for the shot its like your friend said, right now there is not enough even if you wanted to get it unless you are one of the ones she listed. I'll decide when it gets to me, but at that point there will also be a LOT of people that will have it and may help me with that decision.
Not worried about it at this point.
