The Oxford vaccine is just as successful and is actually further along.

Not to be a downer here, but even if we had a great vaccine right now ready to go, it would still take months to manufacture, distribute, and administer it on a global scale. I hope we get there (obviously), but even an end to the scientific process of producing a vaccine begins a large scale industrial, logistical, and medical process of bringing it to the world -- and I am not even going to try to seriously talk about the pockets of our society that will, umm, "resist" such a breakthrough. So you have to bake in time for that.
That time is probably not in time for college football in early September.

Fair enough, lol.
Just been thinking about this...i dont' want "quick science" trying to get things back to normal to have other consequences, etc.
I think it's important to keep in mind that scientists have seen viruses, recently, that are at least somewhat similar to COVID19. That has allowed for them to have a bit of a base of knowledge going into this.
as soon as the FDA admits elderberry syrup is one of the best natural prevention supplements for lung infections i will get the vaccine. agreed?
FWIW there was a survey and 80%+ said they would get the vaccine right away when available. I was kind of pleasantly surprised it was that high, given the political and anti-vaxx contingents. As well as reasonable people just being worried about the "rush".
Like @harimad, I am in general a late adopter. But I am relatively low risk so I would be down the list to get it anyway.
I would consider it after seeing our dear leaders and the developers get at least 5 doses and then I can monitor their health for a good 5 years.
That would be more than enough to get herd immunity if it works. Besides if it works then why would anyone who gets it care?
why? That's a lot of people out in the world blocking the virus (hopefully). What % of people get flu shots? I don't get one. I'm gonna wait and see how the covid vaccine plays out. If people don't start developing some freakish condition from the vaccine, or start turning into lizard people, I will go ahead and get one next year.
I filled out a questionnaire to be part of the testing but I don't have enough daily contact with others to be of any value. They are wanting people from Florida, Texas and California.
I did also. You probably did here I assume:

you think those who are cautious of a fast tracked vaccine are "antivax herpes" ???
