ATA calls for trucking workforce to be among first to receive COVID-19 vaccine

[Johndeere4020]

Except for the Booster shot.

Remember that. Unless you opted out. That was the last time I was vaccinated and it was required for school age children. And the small pox vaccine was required back in the day.

I got the chickenpox when I was a young adult, about 22 so they say I'm now at risk for shingles.

Will I get this Covid shot. If I were in a high risk group yep. But I'm not so nope.

Just glad that the herd immunity will come much faster with these highly effective vaccines in circulation.

We don’t know their efficacy yet

We don’t know their efficacy yet

Yeah

Short term 90% + but long term yeah and I guess thats what most people care about.

 

[Mike]

If I was worried about the new cold virus and thought it was going to kill me, I would get the vaccine. Not being worried about it, easy to let me watch a few million others test out the product over time.

 

[Johndeere4020]

Yeah

Short term 90% + but long term yeah and I guess thats what most people care about.

Even the 90% is being called into question, they tested the virus in healthy people. No co morbidities and no elderly we’re in the study. The people they tested it in were the group that it hardly affects as it is. So it was not tested an accurate cross section of the country

So thats debatable. That figures.

Some people are just much more hesitant than others and I guess what I'm sayin is as for me, not so much.

You trust Big Government too much.

The rest of us have questions we want answered, and we're not satisfied by the answers we're given.

No its more like Covid fatigue thats all.

Wish we could get this vaccine ball rolling like yesterday.

We will be close to natural herd immunity before the vaccine is widely distributed

What’s debatable about it?

 

[Rigjockey]

I am the pro mask and distancing guy.

Would I take the vaccine?
Nope, nopidy, nopidy, nope, fuck nope!
Let them try it out on the pro- vaccine and the I'll take it because Covid is a yuge inconvenience crowd first!
Who knows what the long term effects will be. Remember thalidomide?

The virus has long haul effects muscle, body aches, shortness of breath and fatigue.
No thank you!

I've been pro distancing all my life. GTF away from me.

I know. I feel the same.

I will sooner sit down in the garage and suck start a 12 gauge than see where all this tyranny leads.

It may very well come to that.

My mind is almost there now. That's a fact.

Whoa Dude.

Hold your horses on that shotgun thing.

Things ain’t that bad are they ??

 

[TruckerRon]

Anyone that gets any vaccine is a sheep!! Especially the fake scam-demic covid vaccine that will most likely contain a microchip. All the sheep will be chipped!! And it will serve them right. If they force any vaccine on truckers, I will quit this industry.

I doubt there's going to be microchips.

Still ain't gonna trust it simply because of what we know about the people who want it to be mandatory.

Go down fighting, don't take yourself out.

I'm not scared of the virus, thought I don't want to be one of first taking it. That said, if USAA gymnastics requires it to go to their events, I will be first in line if possible.

For me, it is more about not being concerned with the virus than being worried about the vaccine. Pretty sure I already had it, and it wasn't that bad. Dragged out longer than the flu, but the flu made me feel like I was gonna die a couple of times.
