CV and mad panic behaviour

[ElwoodBlues1]

Yes, I haven't come across someone genuinely on the front line who won't. I do have some contacts in the critical age care system, and the demise they have witnessed from COVID is no very pleasant, no matter how small you think the risk might be! No matter how frail, how ill, drowning in your own lung fluid is not a good end.

My GP has spent the last year doing double shifts at his practise and then working in emergency / critical care at one of the hospitals with a dedicated COVID ward. I can see the impact it's had on him, he has aged terribly, he'll be in the front line to get the vaccine and if it is good enough for him it's good enough for me!

I'm not going to risk inflicting that demise on my friends and relatives, I don't want to be the one.

Young men volunteer for war, this vaccine is like signing up!

I think you will find quite a few frontline healthcare workers not so keen to get jabbed first up especially nurses and ambo's.
In fact overall the Government are concerned there maybe a 50% only or less take up overall in Australia and are spending a lot of money trying to market the vaccines to the public in particular.
Given the scatter gun approach of which vaccine you might get and how effective is one vs the other, as well as the rushed testing its going to be a hard sell IMHO until there is more data on what works best and is the safest.
