I wont be. And not because Im an anti vaxxer or anything like that.
Im 31, healthy as Ive ever been, never smoked, dont drink anymore, no underlying health problems, dont eat bad stuff, and if I got covid then theres a damn good chance Id survive it.
This vaccine, whatever public health England or anyone else says, has been produced very quickly. Im not 100% confident we're not going to get 12 months down the line and there wont be some sort of side affect we didnt know about, and that Id have been better off without it and just getting the virus in the first place.
I will qualify this by saying Im talking about my own circumstances. If I was middle aged, asthmatic, had other problems, was massively overweight or something like that Id probably think differently and have it, but the benefit doesnt outweigh the unknown for me personally.
On top of that - I cant in all good conscience take a vaccine I know would be of better benefit to someone else.

The risks of side effects from catching Covid are far worse than any possible side effects from the vaccine. |

and .... by not taking it, you potentially could become a spreader of the virus, and thus endanger others.

Yeah, and you could give it to someone who's unsuccessfully taken the vaccine because it's not 100 percent successful. I'm not going to judge anyone who doesn't take it, because it's personal choice what you put in you body, and the indications are enough people are willing to take it to make a real difference. |

There’ll be a lot less anti-vaxxers when pubs only let vaccinated people in !

There is a fourth group - people for whom the vaccination doesn't work. While a 90-95% success rate is high (conveniently high, you'd probably argue), it' leaves 5-10% of vaccinated people still at risk.

I'm rated as extremely vulnerable due to the type of cancer I had five years ago. No question that I shall have the vaccine.
I'm also a governor of a large NHS Foundation Trust that runs four hospitals in my area, so I get to see and hear a lot about Covid-19 and the vaccines. Certainly its development has been rapid; certainly like any vaccine there is a % chance that it will not work for an individual. But believe me, if you knew what this virus can do to you even if you are a fit and young person, then you'd choose to have it.

Look, we get 12/18 months down the line and there's no real side effects that have become apparent then Id probably be more inclined to have it. |

Im not coming at this from a position of ignorance - and I appreciate that my position isnt popular, but Im not happy taking a vaccine thats been developed "rapidly" until I know of long term side effects if any exist. Ill get by just fine in the mean time. Were I in your shoes, Id have it too because the risk of the virus is greater than the risk of the unknown. |

Yup absolutely I'll be having it, it's inexcusable not to as far as I'm concerned.

From the personal info you gave us I'd say it's likely to be 6-12 months before its available to you anyway! |

I just feel more uneasy stepping into the unknown when Im not at risk. |

The people I dislike are the wackos who believe they've put trackers in the vaccine, proper thick people.
Don't you think you're being tracked already through your smartphone or any other device you have? On the PS5 for example they have a mic built into the new contro11er and it's on by default but you can switch it off in the settings.
