This might seem like a dumb question but should I get the vaccine?

My family is getting it now & my 3 grandparents have just got the 2 shots for it. Now my dad is getting an appointment for it soon & I told them I'm not sure if I want it or not & my dad just told me that I need to get the vaccine.

I hope to God nothing bad happens to my family for taking it (or me for not taking it). I've seen headlines of people dying from it & it makes me sad since Trump had a big role in getting the vaccines out to everyone with operation warp speed & said he fully supports the vaccines. But then I see everyone on here hates the vaccine even though we are all trump supporters. It's just total chaos, I don't trust anything. People could die because of it a few months from now & I guess some people have died right after taking it.

You'll probably be just fine if you get the vaccine. Lots of doomfags perpetuating the opinions of random nobody doctors as gospel. That being said, I personally disagree with getting vaccinated if you aren't at risk. It's up to you.

I agree, the decision is yours. In the short term, the vaccine IS safe. It isn't genetic manipulatiom, gene therapy, or anything of the sort. It takes advantage of the same mechanism viruses in the wild utilize to copy themselves using your own cellular machinery (ribosome). There are standard side effects, like with any drug, and they aren't any different or more severe than any other vaccine. This vaccine will make you feel like crap for a day or so. There are no long term studies or data yet, to say that it is completely safe. So the decision is yours. I personally know over 100 people who took the vaccine from various companies. They are all completely fine.

the decision is yours.

In a lot of places, the decision will be "take it, or lose your job and access to all public and private services."

In other countries, that is probably true. If any company based in the US will try that, they open themselves up to litigation. I doubt that will happen here on a significant scale.
