Many people will have the same fear.
First thought? Will it really work?
There are steps taken before they can approve that it is the real vaccine that will work against Covid19.
Of course, they do test it. With who or what? That we don't know.

But even with all these cures or vaccines, I don't think we can go back to the normal environment like before.
Sales of antiseptics., disinfectants, and masks will still grow. Thankfully, China is the one producing it.  Grin

The "cause of covid vaccine", well surely the cause would be an obvious need to combat a highly infectious and deadly virus. Vaccines are one of the most widely used and safest forms of medicine currently out there. Many millions of people get vaccinated each year for a whole swath of different reasons - either protection against something like rabies or polio. The science is very simple, you are simply teaching your body the ability to fight the virus with a much weaker version, so it can easily attack the actual virus much quicker if you were to encounter it. Frankly, if you don't want the vaccine then I am happy for you - it means people who want to protect themselves with a simple action are able to get it even quicker.

The cost shouldn't be a problem, it's cheaper for governments to buy a vaccine rather than deal with unemployment and the fall of their economy. I've heard that there's currently not enough vaccine for some developing countries, but hopefully it will be fixed with international aid if necessary.

You can trace the fear of people to its possible effect. There are people interviewed who really do not want to get vaccinated out of fear. Even me, I have doubt on this vaccine after what happened to the Dengvaxia vaccine which caused the deaths of some children's here in our country.


This is just the result of antivax conspiracy theories that are being pushed by manufacturers of homeopathic, herbal and other crap "remedies".

snip..

What do you think the price, is that reasonable? Can people buy at that price?

snip..
$40 is small money for some but for those who are poor it suffocates them.  I was convinced from the start that the emergence of a vaccine would only add to the huge profits for drug companies.  the government must immediately step in to overcome this so that there is no rebellion from residents who feel the cost of the vaccine is choking them..
That would be hard in the first place. Everything would be expensive upon its introduction to the market.
The government should make a move in order to reach those who needs the vaccine the most such as healthcare workers and patients. For sure there will be superiority when it comes to the distribution of the vaccines and more likely, the rich ones will be the first ones to have it first even if there's no urgency. That's just how power works. Thus, the price could be expensive to many countries wherein demand is high in which governments should make actions with in order to promote urgency. Rebelion won't be a help and I think is not possible at this moment because the impression of many people towards this pandemic was lessen due to exposure of the problem.

There are several cases in several parts of Asian countries that have tested the use of vaccines, the result is that almost some people even experience bad symptoms, such as shortness of breath, the body becomes weak, even 5 of them are declared dead after consuming the Covid 19 vaccine from China.
this causes public distrust to use vaccines
why do vaccines seem to be dangerous?

bassbity, the vaccine will be free for all EU residents, in the sense that they will not have to pay for it directly - but there is no doubt that it will be charged indirectly through various taxes. It should also be emphasized that only those vaccines that have passed all clinical stages will be approved, which means that they have already been tested on a large number of people and that apart from some anti-allergic reactions, there were no serious consequences. It is quite another story what consequences vaccines can have in the long run, because this is the first time that the process of their creation is so short without years of testing.



What do you think the price, is that reasonable? Can people buy at that price?

In developed countries, that price is not a problem - just look at how much a box of cigarettes of a well-known brand costs ($26 in Australia - or $5 in the Czech Republic), so it will be clear to you that $40 is not too high a price where people have money. Of course there are countries where people work all month for that amount or even less, and those governments should allow free vaccinations at the expense of the state.

Okay first of all we all should understand the fact that :
Vaccination is important!
That's the only way we are going to prevent this pandemic from spreading, I am aware of the fact that many people think that if most people did contact the virus 🦠 sooner or later the pandemic will be gone because of the heard immunity but let's look at the facts first :
Virus is mutating
The immunity is short lived
Now this further tells us the exact reason why we need a vaccination!! We would more or so need some booster doses for sure.
The country where am living the teachers are already been given the shots and still some of them did catch the virus. It's not a tool proof vaccination for sure but we have to look for the odds. Without vaccination the pandemic will take years to go. Plus 39$ is a nominal price , ofcourse it will change according to the country and the region you are living in... But it's worth spending for your safety. (The vaccination was made faster than anything and during the closed industrial period with excess efforts to make sure that antisepsis is done so I do believe that we have to invest what we can right now. )

Plus ofcourse if the strain has undergone mutations it would still be effective since basic chromosomal proteins would be same and effective change in the DNA sequence takes years even for viruses.

40 dollars is not the price. Cheaper than new game. 5 hours of working at minimal wage in USA. Pretty cheap vaccine for everyone

Each country fiat currency has a different value. If in the US it was a cheap vaccine, I think in other countries $ 40 is a lot of money and too expensive for them to buy that vaccine. Actually in my country $40 is equivalent to a minimum daily wage for more than 3days or working for more than 27hours based on minimum hours daily.

To reduce the spread of the covid 19 virus, we need a vaccine, and now there are some vaccines ready to be released on the market this coming year 2021.

In my country there are some barangays/places to be vaccinated first. The question is, is it safe? What will be the effect on the person being injected?

You can trace the fear of people to its possible effect. There are people interviewed who really do not want to get vaccinated out of fear. Even me, I have doubt on this vaccine after what happened to the Dengvaxia vaccine which caused the deaths of some children's here in our country.

Aside from the possible negative or positive effect of this covid vaccine, we need to consider also the value of it.



We have no choice but to get vaccinated or get infected and die from CoVid, it's bitter to swallow but we have to take it, they have spent a lot of times and spent a lot of money just to come out a vaccine because this is the only solution we have right now because we can never be sure if we are going to be fine if we get infected with CoVid.

"How many corona strains is the vaccine effective against."

"How many strains of corona are there."

The media omits relevent information necessary to know how effective or useless a vaccine would be at the present time.

At worst a vaccine might be effective against only one strain of the virus. Which could make it as ineffective in treating the pandemic as the flu shot. A person might be inoculated against one strain of the virus, only to be infected by a different strain.

In addition to this, it has been said corona virus vaccines are only effective for 6 months. Which would mean people need to be inoculated twice annually.

As of now the need for vaccine has made more ventures get into the development of covid-19 vaccine. As a result almost every country have their firms in the competition. Pfizer was found to be in the lead, and the same has made FDA approve the vaccine on emergency need. As a beginning it has planned to supply vaccine to the frontline health care workers. When vaccine gets effective in human beings, automatically the economic situation recovers as everything begin to function as the days before covid-19 into the world.

for now it is true that the vaccine will be produced on a large scale, but in my opinion there are still many people who are not sure about the vaccine. We can see that there are several countries that do not charge a penny from vaccines that will be distributed to the public, meaning free. but I forgot the country (if you know please remind the name of the country). I watched the news yesterday on BBC television.

I could not say the vaccines are safe but according to reports, this is done professionally in a way many people have been given this vaccines and showing positive results. Some can have side effect but mild, just like headach or pain at some localized part of the body or maybe others but it is mild and will die down just like many other vaccines do act after injected someone, but all these are short term. The vaccines have succeeded and proven good on short term now, but we do not yet know if the vaccine will have long term effect because it is still under testing and that should be the phase 4 after it has being given to mases in phase 3. But as of now, progress has been made, and likely but not yet proven that the vacinnes will not have long effect.

Quote
Pfizer and BioNTech have set the initial price at $19.50 a dose, which comes to $39 per patient (since each vaccine requires a two-dose regimen), in its $1.95 billion contract with the federal government as part of Operation Warp Speed in July. Pfizer and BioNTech, which have developed an mRNA-based vaccine, will receive that amount for the first 100 million doses, pending regulatory approval. Moderna, which has developed a competing mRNA vaccine, received nearly $1 billion from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority and has a $1.5 billion contract for 100 million doses, bringing its price to around $50 per patient or $25 a dose.

I think only those from the middle to upper class can afford that vaccine. But those in the lower classes and among the poor in the poorest cannot afford it, unless the government buys and gives it to the people for free if they want the country to be covid free or even reduce the spread of the virus.
