My issues with getting it are as follows:
This is a "first of its kind" vaccine as mRNA has never been used for vaccines. If you can program human cells to develop antibodies against this disease, what would poorly handled or possibly mutated mRNA vaccines lead to?
It's taken less than a year to develop, when most vaccines take upwards of 10+ years to develop in a safe manner.
We have NO long term data regarding the possible adverse effects.
We, the people of the USA, are literally going to serve as the proverbial guinea pigs.
With statistics showing that over 98% of the people, who in the USA, have gotten COVID have ALSO recovered, why would I not give my body a chance to fight it off? With a 98% chance of recovery, I'd say the odds are great. I suffer from no comordities, why chance it with an unpredictable vaccine when my immune system has been quite effective all of my life?
The vaccine won't cure COVID or eliminate it, it will simply make your body better able to cope with the disease. In other words, you can still and very likely will get covid.
There's no guarantee that it will provide protection for more than a few months. They're trying to figure out if this will become a yearly necessity like the flu vaccine.
Lastly, media outlets like CNN and snakes in the grass like Bill Gates are campaigning HARD for people to get it. This last fact alone makes me cringe.
