Shot or a mask, your “choice,” but those really are the only ones.

Or neither. And accept the risk and consequences. This isn’t a dictator binary decision.

You shouldn't be allowed a choice when the consequences of your actions effect other people.

This says vaccination rates are about 70% for the entire 7-vaccine childhood series the CDC recommends, and 92.7% for polio (which had the highest rate). Not sure how different it will be for an all-ages vaccine, but a 70% Covid vaccination rate probably isn't far fetched. Of course, I'm not sure how quickly they'll be able to produce enough doses or get them distributed everywhere they're needed, so it might take a few years after the vaccine is approved for that many people to actually receive it.

They’re saying one of the 2 (probably Pfizer) has allocated enough to vax 12.5M people in the US by 12/31/20. From what I’ve read there are estimated 12-16M health care workers in the US. So basically, if we can keep our crap together, the whole healthcare workforce can be done by years end with just one of the 2 vax that will be released. I know I’m the resident doomer, but that’s the best news we’ve had in a while.FastStats

It's indeed fantastic news. Right now, the record for the shortest time to develop a vaccine is 5 years, so I figured we wouldn't have an effective vaccine until at least 2025 if ever. This is much better than I expected.

I'd point out, too, that the damn things work and work well; polio is hopefully going to be on its way to eradication globally (it almost already is; it remains endemic only in Pakistan and Afghanistan). Also, TIL that the oral vaccine creates contact immunity, which is kind of bad-ass by itself.FastStats

It's bad-ass. I don't understand all the science, but apparently what got this off the scientific ground fairly quickly was the fact that the virus's genomic sequence was quickly available in the early days of the outbreak. It wasn't like mRNA technology was sitting on the shelf, mind. Been in work for a while with a big breakthrough in 2005.
How mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna work, why they’re a breakthrough and why they need to be kept so cold
There are two new COVID-19 vaccines that appear to be more than 90% effective. But what are these vaccines, and how are they different from those used previously?

This is just so frigging cool. Between this, and a few things happening in computing, I must say that I really do love living in the goddamn future, even if I'm not flying Moon turns.

I don’t understand mucosal immunity at all but it sure seems cool.

Can’t wait to get my yellow card filled out today with the Rona vax so I can go to Canada...

Y’all better hope there isn’t some serious breakdown in this vaccine. All it takes is one incident where people die. Then it’s game over.

Those vaccines have been around for a long time and are true, tried.
Here you have the most rushed vaccine in the history of mankind.

Every single action that you take affects other people in some way. Encourage people to take the vaccine. Educate them. But the choice is theirs.

I agree but masks should be mandatory till we kick this
