Would I consider taking a Coronavirus vaccine? π
At this point probably not because we don’t fully understand the side effects that could have lifelong effects compared a disease that so far appears mostly temporary, especially with people my age having a good chance of recovering even from a severe case.
Honestly, I would be more worried about paralysis or some kind of other side effect permanently injuring me then a relatively quick death from Coronavirus.
That said, the disease in the short term seems pretty nasty (and potentially deadly) and after widespread testing and use in the population with demonstrated record of safety, I definitely would consider getting a future Coronavirus vaccine – especially in 5 years from now. At that point problems would be well teased out and reported on, and I expect it to be convenient and widely available for free with health insurance from all major pharmacies and grocery stores with pharmacy departments.
