When 50 % of the medical professionals are refusing the vaccine. It gives me pause. I'll probably pass on it
Gosh.....thats an eye opener Pru !!
While it is of course anyone's right to refuse the vaccine, personally, it is beyond me why anyone would. The risk of significant consequences of infection (including long-COVID) is massively higher than any risks associated with the vaccine. Yes, all vaccines, drugs etc carry risk - so does all the food and drink we consume - it's mostly about relative risk.
Some claim these vaccines have been 'rushed'. No, they have been expedited. They have still gone through the required testing by the relevant regulatory bodies, but the timelines have been shortened, mostly by throwing lots of money and people at it. In fact, these vaccines have been more thoroughly tested than many of the 'old' vaccines in common use simply because the regulations and controls are more demanding now.
Stephanie's point is a very important one too - this is not just about self-protection, it's also about protecting others by limiting transmission. Also, more circulating virus will result in more mutation some of which may be more transmissable or result in more significant consequences.
By all means, choose as you see fit, but really question yourself as to why.
Personally, when it's offered to me, my arm will be there!

I am scheduled to get my second shot on the 12th. And honestly, even after getting that first shot, I felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders. Like, maybe I can really get a life back after this seemingly hopeless pandemic...

Hi Pru,
Please do not believe these statistics, as the real numbers are totally the opposite - the vast majority of medical personnel who can have the vaccine are taking it up - there are lots of 'Conspiracy Theories' out there that just feed misinformation to muddy the waters.
The senior medical leaders of all the countries of the world, WHO and all the other international research and health management agencies have backed the use of the vaccines. The latest accredited research that I have seen has shown the vaccines to have very few issues and is affective in saving lives.
It is a personal choice, but please look at the evidence based research rather than other less professional forms of information.
Hugs
