Nope
I dont take a flue vaccine and wont take this either.
My mind could be changed but thats as of right now.

I didn't start getting the flu shot until I had kids, never really had an issue either way. This one is tough, don't like the idea of a vaccine ramrodded through testing.

I have had plenty of vaccines thanks to the military...including the all so perfect Anthrax course. If this comes out, will I be taking it? Ah, NO.

I've gotten sick the 4 times I randomly decided I should get a flu vaccine and I dont call that coincidence. I honestly believe I have antibodies to flu because I have never had it and it's WAY more prevalent than Covid it would appear.
My teleworking for this virus has morfed into a permanent incentive thing that I will be doing from now till retirement so thats going to highly limit my exposure to future illness.
I'll wait to see what more develops with Covid cures rather than a vaccine.

Lets be optimistic and say for sake of argument that a vaccine passes testing and is deemed ready for mass production by Sep 2020. Has something changed in production methods, or does that still mean fall of 2021 before the hundreds of millions of does needed for mass worldwide inoculation could be produced?

I just hope it's a better vaccine than the swine flu vaccine they had back in 1976. It came out quick and people came down with Guillain-Barre syndrome as a side effect and some died. I believe only 25% of the population got it before they stopped using the vaccination.

Wife and I were in California in 1976 and we got the shot. We did OK with no side effects but I knew several who got the shot and came down with Guillian-Barre.

I would wait a few months to see what, if any side effects from a shot occurred.
