    So what’s the deal with these numbers? Obviously there’s a huge antivax problem but are people worried about a shitty vaccine being rushed out or something?

        Hmm. Well I think we should know more about side effects and stuff by the time the general pop gets it, right? Military and emergency services/doctors will get vaccinated long before it’s available to me and you, presumably.

      The government's credibility has been steadily declining since the Bush era, so the younger you are the more likely your entire conception of government is dominated by Trump and his goons. Plus you get shit like Gavin Newsom getting caught not giving a shit about social distancing and what message are people supposed to take from that if not "it's not a big deal"?

      I'll wait to see if the general population has bad reactions to it. Till then, I'm in the age group where I can afford to get it, and I'll wear a mask to avoid spreading it.

      A shitty vaccine definitely worries me. I don't know enough about microbiology to know if my fears are possible, but I do know enough about economics.

      The goal for these companies is to produce a vaccine that as many people as possible will get for the highest price possible. Of course. Not super hard considering that this virus has changed life as we know it. If we all develop severe health problems a year later as a result of the vaccine, they don't need to care, they already made their money.

      I trust a communist vaccine more than a capitalist one.
