@ Cellophane – My thoughts exactly… It seems like they can’t give this stuff away. Very few people – regardless of political views – trust this vaccine. Although Gavin would not provide numbers (what else is new?), even he acknowledged that many health care workers are refusing to take this vaccine.

They can spin it however they want,
Fact is: NOBODY wants it.
I’d get it now if I could. My wife is getting her first shot today as a worker in a long term care facility (with active positive cases). I can’t believe it has taken so long.
From reports from around the world it looks like it should have taken even longer. Hard to have a totally safe vaccine when it is rushed to the market.
Captain Bebops has no proof. He’s just spreading lies is all. He’s making things up.
Anon, How can you say nobody wants it when I am sure there’s more people that would take it then not take it? All you see if a handful of people on TV say they wouldn’t. You do understand there is over 330 million people in the US right? Yes not all can get it because of age. But still. More people then you think wants it. I would take the Moderna.
As an ER nurse, I can’t WAIT to get the vaccine. None of you anti-maskers see the death and devastation that we witness on a daily basis. Just got off shift where I had two people die in the ER from Covid, and those were just my patients. There are thirty other nurses on shift at any given time, all watching patients suffocate to death on their own secretions. I encourage any of you who don’t believe in Covid to spend a day shadowing a nurse. Bet you won’t.
Thank you for everything you do and for sharing your experience during this time. I hope that those who need to hear it most heed your words. I hope that you are able to receive your vaccine soon.

guess some people dont realize that dentists go through the same medical training hospital doctors do before the switch to dentistry. if u dont want it shut up and move aside. there are other workers that want and need it who are exposed to you antimasker brainless twits
@lolz. You are incorrect. A dentist isn’t a trained hospital doctor that has switched to dentistry.
To become a dentist you need a Bachelor’s degree (not necessarily in a science related field) and then you go to Dental school. Medical school is not involved in the process.
Governments keep pushing the dire need for this ramped up flu shot. Such BS. Oh and apparently health officials are telling people to hold off on getting the second jab. The side affects are horrible. Yah, go ahead, get that vaccine.
I think there is a misunderstanding among some about the knowledge needed to give shots. You do not need to go to medical anything to do that, and I used to give someone shots with a prescription. It was a while ago but I think the doctor gave me about one minute of instructions.
Not only expensive but they tend to break down easily.

My wife and I certainly want to get vaccinated! The County is now taking vaccination appointments for everyone in all tiers of Phase 1. We’re well down the priority list from that group, but are hoping to get vaccinated by March.

What happened to Kaiser and all of the hospitals in the area? Are we going to stand in line at the dentist offices? Who is in charge of planning this operation?
Kaiser, Sutter, John Muir physicians will all have the opportunity to get the vaccines to their patients. However, currently there is not enough vaccine for the entire population who wishes to get the vaccine, so it’s being prioritized by need: front line medical workers, then at risk patients in long term care facilities are in the first phase.
Once the vaccine is readily available, I would imagine there will be many people wanting the vaccine immediately. Probably why dentists are being trained in giving the vaccine,
If the criminals storming the nation’s Capitol are going to keep gathering unmasked for their looting and pillaging then yep I’m going to want to get the vaccine when it’s my turn.
I didn’t say anything about killing. Looting and pillaging did take place in the Capitol.
Today’s protest was not peaceful; it was violent and destructive. I don’t condone the destruction of property that happened during the protests this summer either. I completely condemn violent acts in both of these cases – why don’t you?
I thought I saw some Zombies roaming the streets near John Muir. Yikes!!

Why the hell are medical professionals wearing simple surgical masks in that video? Their job is to be in constant, tight proximity with dozens or hundreds of strangers a day, and they’re wearing basically worthless masks to protect themselves.
KN95s are a dollar apiece. Many have emergency FDA approval such as Powecom. They are rated over 95 percent.
Korean KP94s are roughly $2.50 apiece and are rated over 94 percent. Both are readily available.
It’s inexcusable for anyone to be wearing anything than a respirator at this point in the pandemic, but for it’s pathetic for a medical professional not to be wearing one.
anon, … Yup, kinda like trying to stop mosquitos with chicken wire.
IF N95 masks were widely in use by general public, numbers of infected in CA would be far less.
Have a family member who is at high risk if exposed to CV-19, she isn’t allowed out without an N95 mask.

Perhaps newsom should call Israel for some advice on how to get it done.
Probably a safe bet that Israeli politicians did not act childish and play at partisan politics with something as important as a new life saving FDA approved vaccine.
“Of course, we don’t take anyone’s word for it,” …
“We will do our own independently reviewed process with our world-class experts that just happen to live here in the state of California.” — newsom
Or perhaps Israeli citizens follow the guidelines instead of whining about “unconstitutional” restrictions and running around spreading the disease like Californians

So the vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting it or spreading it and they aren’t absolutely sure it will stop the new strains, it has already killed a doctor in Florida. Also if the vaccine did kill someone, most won’t get reported and they will say he or she died from covid. I’ve talked to doctors and nurses that are on both sides of the fence, but if you want to take it, you should, good luck. Most of us will take the 99% survival rate.
I find this very funny.
Looks like desperation.
What’s next?
Veterinarians allowed giving the China Virus vaccine shot?
The people you elected to represent your best interests are failing you.

@Captain Bebops,
What reports are you hearing that indicate this (Moderna or Pfizer) vaccine is less safe than normal?

Pull your head out of the sand (or whatever echo chamber you get your information from); there are millions and millions of people who want to receive the approved vaccines (myself included). Those unwilling to receive it are in the minority :https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/26/health/covid-vaccine-hesitancy.html?searchResultPosition=3

Actually, we’ve READ the ingredients.
Judging by your grammar……you apparently cannot read.

@lolz
Antimasker brainless twits? Is that anything like lying dog face pony soldiers?
Who cares, this thing is going to be distributed at the drug store and supermarket pharmacists by the end of this. It’s just an updated flu shot.
Does this plan include providing the ultra-cold freezers needed to preserve the vaccine? I read they run about $15,000 each.
Not only expensive but they tend to break down easily.

Maybe they’ll start leaching again. Suck that nasty Covid right out of your bloodstream. Who needs the vaccine when leaches are available?
Based on the fear and paranoia of big Harma……mankind would have never made it this far without their help, and yet Here we are!
I have an immune system. Funny how you’re NOT allowed to talk about boosting immunity naturally.
Count me in for a shot. Ready willing and able to accept this monumental step in the fight to suppress the Corona Virus.
Smart move and thank you for the courage to help expedite the vaccine delivery.
Be well –
Be a patriot-
Wear a mask, keep social distance from others and please get your vaccine shot.
Thank you 🙏🇺🇸
I dont want to wear a mask anymore I dont want a vaccine prepare for war america.
