CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

My evidence based perspective is largely formed by an opinion shared with me by an Epidemiologist before we were told that a vaccine was available and works.  He stated, that Covid being from the SARS family of viruses wont likely get a vaccine because we didnt find a SARS vaccine, and that means that any COVID vaccine is years away from being administered.  Within 6 months he is proven incorrect.

Now, call me a cynic, but its my life experience that has taught me to be one, but I think that the global pandemic has caused such a lot of disruption and panic, that the only way for the people who called it one to save face in it, is to come up with a miracle cure that sees it "vanish" as quickly as it came.  This refers you back to my previous point about it not being as bad as we thought initially.  You combine this with a vaccine hastily produced, and my sentiment is very very unlikely to shift about any vaccine they sell me.

So much so, that I might even resign if faced with the proposition of get it or go being presented to me.  I dont say that easily, ive been here for a while, and I like where I am at, but sometimes you have to do whats right, not what is easy. 

I get the flu vaccine every year largely because I have to, to do my job.  Not because I think it works, but also because there is a report sent around if I dont get one. This time, I dont think I will take such a flippant approach for a vaccine to a virus we only really started learning about a year ago.

So really you're asserting you do not think any vaccine is really regardless of available evidence, does that make this debate pointless?

It would be reasonable to declare that position when commenting, it doesn't make you an anti-vaxer but it's not a trivial perspective to start from. What do you want from some 3rd party commenting like myself, are you trying to convert?
