I cant see a company knowingly allowing a dangerous vaccine get released. Its not like a random drug 99% of the population cant even pronounce. This is the most watched vaccine in the history of the world and a big mistake here would absolutely ruin whoever made it.
The frozen shelf life of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is only 6 months. The Pfizer 5 days after it is thawed. Moderna’s 30 days. VERY short. They need to be used up. Biden may invoke the Defense Production Act to get more vaccine made to cover second doses.
I actually received the Pfizer vaccine sunday. It needs to be stored at a million degrees below zero and it's shipped in dry ice. Then if receiver doesn't have -70 C storage they have 5 days to keep at 2-8 C to administer. There is constant re checking of temps. Was surprised to find out it was not as thick as the flu vaccine. To push or receive.
As someone who has ALWAYS reacted HORRIBLY to the flu vaccine, I'm extremely nervous to get any Covid vaccine. I have autoimmune disease as well. My husband got the flu vaccine a few years ago and we were in the ER within a few hours. Turns out he had fluid around his heart with swelling. No other cause except the vaccine. Can anyone give me any reassurance that if we are forced to take a vaccine, that there will eventually be one that won't have side effects?
No I cant. I would be at least hesitant getting the covid vaccine if I were in your position. Not knowing your history, I dont want to get more into it than that, but you should definitely have a long discussion with your doctor(s) before getting it. It is going to come down to a risk/benefit decision for you and not one I'd take lightly because the consequences on both sides can be severe.
@mas1581I kind of figured, but figured I'd ask!!! Thanks!

Mas is right that no one can guarantee " no side effects" about any vaccine, medication or treatment anyway. Everyone's system is a little bit different and the best that can be done is to make sure that reactions to a new medication are rare.
That said, it is extraordinarly doubtful you would ever be "forced" to take a vaccine. Even in situations where vaccines are required for certain jobs, or travel, or school enrollment, there are exceptions made for people who have medical reasons not to take them.
The current administration said they was going to release all the vaccine they had in storage....what vaccines they don’t have any shocker!!

It is incredulous to think they would lie about having vaccine when they didn't. We are not surprised, but seriously...why?
I am glad fit was discovered BEFORE Biden became president so they can't blame him. Well, they might blame him but the facts are out at least.
Caliifornia is pausing distribution of a certain batch of Moderna Vaccinations after people experienced allergic reactions.
37 states have received this particular lot number.
Hope they figure this out soon.
