My pregnant D.I.L. who had covid, and has recovered, was told by her doctor that she was "covid proof" for 3-4 months; for the strain she had. So, I wouldn't think that someone that has recovered would need a vaccine. And, I don't think it helps you recover any quicker.
I recall hearing several weeks ago, that if you have had covid, the vaccine will make your body produce a higher amount of cells to fight covid then what you may currently have, providing better protection.

They are finding out, that even if you had covid, your body may not have enough of the anti-covid cells to fight off another round.

It seems that they're learning something new everyday. I told her to get vaxed anyway to cover all the bases.

I certainly would like to know more about the allergic reaction, but it's more out of curiosity on my part (I have no allergies that I am aware of).

I have sat in on Investigator Meetings and Advisory Boards when we still used to have those in person. In all cases, the side effects were discussed, especially the Adverse Events (AEs). I could see that occurrence and impact was a high priority and that continuing studies even after approval are critical. I know people like to paint a picture of Big Pharma as evil corporations, and that there have been some mistakes and some outright bad actors in the field, but given my experience, I trust enough in the science (and the fact that there are multiple viable vaccines coming up for approval) to be willing to take the vaccine when it becomes available to me. Even though I will most likely have to pay for it out of pocket as well.

The article goes on to say that 4 people is consistent with the number that could be expected to get this temporary condition anyway. Typical headline from one of the worst UK newspapers The Daily Fail. Headline designed to scare then the article explains there’s nothing to worry about. The Daily Fail also made a huge contribution to the hugely damaging Brexit vote that we are just about to be thrown off a cliff for.

Why do you think you will have to pay for it?
It was presented on the news this morning that it was to be free. . . . to everybody. . . . period. This was put out while they were discussing the logistics of deploying the vax. It doesn't make sense to charge for it, if they want to eliminate the bug.

I think we should just pay people $500 to take the vaccine. It would likely cost the country less in the short and long term.

You may not have to. I think the corporate sector and travel sector, among others, will force people to take it. As an example, I’m sure there’s gonna be many companies who are going to say, if you want to continue employment with us, or if you are looking to be hired by us, show proof of vaccination. I’m sure that most, if not all countries will require tourists to show proof of vaccination before coming into the country. Cruise ships for sure will require proof. So our respective governments do not have to force people to take the vaccine, other sectors will do it for them. And, if the vaccine proves to be a safe and effective as it is, many of the naysayers will come on board and readily join the lineup with their sleeves rolled up waiting for the shot.

Just my opinion.

You are exactly right! My former employer had a nurse come to our terminals to pass out the Flu shots for free. Some who did not take the shot suddenly lost employment shortly after.

It would be very interesting to see how many of the fervent antivaxers would suddenly change their minds if £500 was on the table!!
And I don’t see what is wrong with a small business or shop trying to keep its staff and customers safe by checking that visitors have had the vaccine

I think I'm backing out of this thread now. To consider that financial incentives are the only thing making some people nervous about taking a vaccine is blinkered. To say that you must allow yourself to be injected with a chemical you have doubts about, or risk losing your job and ability to feed and house your family is sinister in the extreme. Dictatorial even.

On the other hand, it would still be interesting to see how many would take the £500. They must know that the information they are getting that persuaded them not to take the vax is at best questionable- it doesn’t come from a credible source.

Trying to keep your staff and customers safe from people who deliberately want to place themselves and others at risk is not dictatorial, it’s a choice. And people would have the choice as to whether or not they use or work for such a business.

Polio. Look it up. Its a mandatory vaccine to enroll in public school.

This is NOT new. Its part of citizenry.

Maybe that’s how the Nazi’s convinced themselves.

The goal was an utopian Volksgemeinschaft, totally under police surveillance, in which any attempt at nonconformist behaviour, or even any hint or intention of such behaviour, would be visited with terror.
