Coronavirus in Massachusetts (Revere: safe, cars, health)

[BostonMike7]

I’m just waiting for the eventual debates on getting vaccinated to come front and center. We all see how heated the mask debates get.

We are all assuming people will line up wanting to get one as soon as it’s available. I can certainly see certain groups refusing to vaccinate. Should make for an interesting 2021...

I'm nervous enough about lines that I hope that Baker will prioritize colleges due to communal living and risk to faculty/staff in distribution. While I'm considered high risk, due to my age and the nebulousness of my risk I'm still fairly far down the distribution list otherwise.



I tend to think Massachusetts will be more compliant with medical recommendations than other parts of the country. I just keep telling myself that it will help my parents get in line sooner in Georgia. :\

Are you saying that people who are vaccinated won't be sick but they can still have the virus and spread it?

People who get the virus will be sick and will spread it (maybe should be counted as cases). All this time we told people to avoid the virus and yet a vaccine is giving people the virus. Good luck everyone. And by the way shouldn't people who have had the virus be exempt from the vaccine. Probably not, cause we have to make sure big pharm makes their money.

People have been leaving more negative reviews for scented candles. The implication is that they have The Rona and don't realize it. I'm not sure if it's legit or not but does seem a bit funny.

We have never used this mRNA vaccine before. Many in the trials were quite sick. One guy even said he shook so hard he broke a tooth. The hope is this vaccine gives you a mild case, but it won't be like that for many. I wouldn't see a reason why any healthy person would take this vaccine. Many of gotten this virus and barely had an issue with it.

Phase 4 at that point becomes a purely political decision.

Not really. It's two shots over three weeks. Remember the suppliers have not been given the OK. Are you going to have no hot dogs and beer?
