elizabeth09 122 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I think that the vaccination should not be mandatory, because there is a lot we do not know for sure. valleri and SupposesRoses 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BarbaraTherese 2,783 Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) I am unsure about making the vaccination mandatory. It needs a longer trial out in the public for those who are willing to have the vaccination (be the guinea pigs as it were). I think the mandatory aspect might be important because COVID spreads so easily - is so contagious. Mandatory is one for the medical experts, if necessary, at some future point.

elizabeth09 122 Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 My only thing is that if people do not want the vaccination, why are they being force to do something that they do not what to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
little2add 998 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 The one thing appears to be certain is that the covid virus is not going away, by itself. Like it or not the covid vaccine may be our only hope to end the crisis. BarbaraTherese 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BarbaraTherese 2,783 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 The situation in the USA re COVID is dreadful. Keeping in prayer that the vaccination is the answer or that something crops up very soon. People are very ill and/or dying over there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lilllabettt 3,814 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 The American ethos is such that it's people will never accept mandatory vaccination on a nationwide scale. I remember a tree planting program - people resisted massively. Not because they didn't want trees; they didn't want the government telling them they were going to have them, when where and how many. There are ways to incentivize vaccination ... it can be made necessary to fly, go to football games or attend school, for example. These are all choices. Americans respond much better when you say "if you don't like it, you don't have to travel", "you don't have to go to football games" "go ahead and keep your kids at home if you prefer." Many of the people who would have resisted mandatory vaccination to the death will go along with it at that point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peace 947 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'll probably take the vaccination for it in a few years, but not this year. I don't have a whole lot of confidence that something these big companies dreamed up in 6 months has been sufficiently tested and safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anomaly 2,647 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 You can take a vaccine with much less inconvenience or effort than walking to work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, I find walking to work to be much more "convenient" than making myself a guinea pig by injecting myself with an unknown, unproven substance rushed to the market by companies in search of massive financial gain.

Might be very true; however, if the vaccination works and attacks the crisis in an effective manner, I would welcome it (and they can have all the financial gain they desire ). I will be having the vaccination as soon as available both for myself as a hoped for effective vaccination - and also as a guinea pig in the early stages for the sake of my fellow neighbour, especially but not only the disabled and/or elderly.

If you think it is safe go for it. I have no issues with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
