Zoo Music Girl Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Do we think there might be some kind of situation after the initial rollout where you can pay to get the vaccine if not in a priority group? Is that how the flu vaccine works? I'd be happy to pay quite a bit for it, just as I have in the past with various travel vaccines. Rabies costs an arm and a leg for example.

I dont think actually my thoughts on it are necessarily right .... we actually dont really know whats right and it might be sometime long away that we get some idea .... would love a cider with all of you in June 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe...one day...but they are going to need to distribute these vaccines on a massive scale, and people may need to take the vaccine once or twice a year...so depends on how much of it is available. To be honest I hope it is properly distributed globally before individuals can just buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was some kind of vaccine passport that would buy you an exemption from the restrictions then I’d pay a fortune to get it. Possibly would be willing to pay a grand or more. But then I’m not sure as a society that we want to be going down a route where the haves can pay for a vaccine and free themselves from restrictions whereas the have nots have to stay in lockdown. It’s a tough call really. Edited October 26, 2020 by Fuzzy Afro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the covid vaccines are properly tested otherwise they might LITERALLY cost everyone an arm and a leg 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/522718-biden-stretches-lead-over-trump-in-mich-wis-and-penn-poll A new poll finds Joe Biden stretching his lead over President Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as late-breaking undecided voters say they intend to back the Democratic presidential nominee. The latest survey of likely voters in the three former “blue wall” states from the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison finds Biden nearly doubling his lead in each state compared to last month. Crucially, Biden is above the 50 percent mark in all three states, while Trump remains mired in the low to mid-40s. ADVERTISEMENT In Michigan, Biden leads by 10 points, 52 to 42. Five percent of voters remain undecided. The same poll from September found Biden with a 6-point advantage. The poll from Wisconsin finds Biden leading 53 to 44, with 3 percent undecided. Biden’s 9-point advantage is up from 4 points in September. The closest state is Pennsylvania, where Biden leads 52 to 44, with 3 percent undecided. Biden has grown his lead from 4 points in September to 8 points now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be time for another poll once the vaccine arrives and we start to learn how effective it might be and more definite timescales for rollout .... Gigs around march time I think will happen with testing and followed by festivals in June when we are near the point of vaccination rollout completion ... Even without a vaccine Glastonbury will be going ahead next summer. As I’ve stated before a larger testing system will enable the festival to go ahead. So whilst a vaccine would be very welcome it’s not the deciding factor. I guess what I’m saying is even if all vaccines stall then festivals will go ahead next summer.

To be clear, I'm not at all suggesting there should just be access for everyone who could afford it. I want to see vulnerable people and heath workers get it ahead of everyone else. But as with other optional vaccines just wondering if you might be able to get it even if it's not deemed essential for you to do so, if you see what I mean, a way down the line.

Zoo Music Girl Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 I suppose it also depends how long it lasts and whether it just reduces the severity of the disease. As then it probably wouldn't be worth it unless in the vulnerable categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. problem is we don't know how long these vaccines last, people may need top ups once or twice a year...so that will be a massive demand. But..maybe, if the price is right. I think if you're under 50...and most of the vulnerable are getting vaccinated...then probably no need...although long covid can be a problem.

Yeah you're probably right. Partly thinking of long Covid, which I really don't want, but also thinking that if immunity is only partial or temporary than the more of us that have it the better. As I say though it's a way down the line, just thinking "out loud" really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only hypothetical thought is that would any vaccines available privately be taking away one from someone who needs it and can’t afford it? I’ve no idea if that is even a thing that can happen!
