This is my issue, too. I'm not anti-vax - DH, the kids, and I have all had the mandatory shots.
But the WuFlu vaccine is being both rushed and politicized. I don't want me or mine be in the first wave to get vaccinated. There are plenty of other people who will gladly be guinea pigs.
Since the vaccine issue is so political, another concern I have is that any bad vaccine reactions or side effects will be downplayed or covered up entirely - "for the public good." So we won't be able to make an informed choice about whether the vaccine is safe for our families.
It's almost certain that a WuFlu vaccine will end up being mandatory for kids to go to public school. (Which means many charter and private schools will also require it.)
What about employers? Will stores, gyms, or bars require proof of vaccination for entry? State and local governments and some large retailers have already mandated masks. Why wouldn't the same people and organizations demand vaccination papers, especially when the "experts" recommend that everyone be vaccinated?

Oh yeah, you know it. The media was fine with letting people die just to score points against Trump with HCQ. If the vaccine gives you a 10% chance of growing a 2nd head, the media wouldn't mention it until Trump gets out of office, and if they did, they'd make it sound like two heads are better than one. Crazy.
I'm not anti-vac, but everything about this damned virus has been so politicized that I simply don't trust a vaccine with Fauchi's seal of approval.

Sing it, brother.
