I had thought about it a lot and decided that it was probably worth the risk, based on conversations with medical researchers who really understand how it works.
Then yesterday we had a workplace webinar where the president said that all staff are required to get the vaccine. Someone said how can you possibly require a vaccine that isn't even approved, but is only under emergency use authorization. The general counsel piped up and said that we think we are within our legal rights to require you to get it.
Someone else pointed out that in order to get this experimental vaccine we have to sign away our liability rights, so if the vaccine injures or kills us we have no recourse. And so isn't the company then liable for forcing you to take that risk? The webinar went silent for about 40 seconds and then the general counsel said that she would "circle back" on that question. So now they are worried...
Going to wait this one out for a bit.
Ask yourself what is the least amount of money you are willing to accept if you are one of the unlucky ones to suffer side effects. What is the least amount of money your family should be compensated if the dosage is fatal? Chances are, there will be no compensation; you are selling your health for the opportunity to earn your wages.
