Would you trust the vaccine from Russia or China?

We need the vaccine to be normal.

If they have a trial period I would.

@Alexandoy Please define 'normal'.

I don't have a vaccine now for flu and pneumonia but I guess I will take the covid vaccine from a reputable laboratory.

@Deepizzaguy the risk is always there when the vaccine is doubtful.

@Alexandoy I agree with you about getting the vaccine from a reputable laboratory.

@Alexandoy I guess the risks will be the same with others too contending for the title of having the cure. I think the risks will all be the same whether it will be the Russian, Chinese, Americans and others. Even WHO is also in a hurry to approve anyone who could claim the honor of being the first one.

@rsa101 if the risk will be the same then we should not accept the vaccine and just wait for the issues of side effects that will arise.

The problem with side effect is that it may manifest after a year.

Same with me. Chinese products are always doubtful with the quality.

We have to worry on the side effect.

@jayanth_77 it will take a year. Dengvaxia was discovered to have a side effect... good only for persons who had dengue before.

@Alexandoy yes side effects is a big worry. Unless these side effects are known the vaccines should not be declared safe.

You are the first one to trust those vaccines.

@Alexandoy I trust in the scientific method, no matter where it is applied. That said, we cannot deny that a lot of politics and money-making is also involved in the whole vaccine thing across the globe. At the same time, to do politics and to make money, people are required. So everybody is going for the vaccine. Everyone wants to sell it abroad and improve foreign relations, everyone wants to make money out of it, yet everyone wants to save the people of their own country.

@Alexandoy In that sense I too am. There has been a literal 'sacrificing' of common people in such cases, and the current crisis only proves this ever more if the policies are looked critically.

Good answer.

@Alexandoy Hell, No

@snowy22315 waheehee you gave me a big laugh with your reaction.

How about the Chinese vaccine?

Waheehee, sayonara vaccina.

Okay.

It is a risk to get the first vaccine.

I am waiting for the vaccine of UK.

Same here. I hope it comes soon.

@sophie09

@Alexandoy yes i agree. Hoping for the best

That is a good decision.

@Alexandoy You are right, they have not tested enough.

@LadyDuck it looks like Russia is just announcing their vaccine but not really ready for public use.

The clinical testing is the most critical part of the development. A haphazard test may cause neglect of side effect.

@Alexandoy But, you never know when it will pop up again and then everyone who is not vaccinated will catch it.

@simone10 you may be right but my point is if everyone has a vaccine and I am the only one without then I think I am safe enough.

If everyone would be vaccinated then there would be no need for me since there are no more carriers.

@JudyEv where will the money come from? If there are 20 vaccines in the market then it will not be that profitable anymore.

There are more than 200 laboratories working on the vaccine. I wonder why it is like a race now.

@Alexandoy I guess there is a lot of money involved for whoever wins the race.

it has no rack record yet.

@Alexandoy What's rack record?

@lovebuglena waheehee, sorry for the wrong speeling. It should be track record. That is one problem when I am not using the computer, the tablet has no spelling checker.

So we will just wait for the other vaccines. Unfortunately we have no laboratory here that is developing a vaccine, waheehee.

@porwest the incentives are there even without the money. I guess dedication is there to save mankind.

@Alexandoy All in due time, someone will come up with something. There is a ton of money being thrown at it, so there is lots of incentive.

Yes, I have seen the headline on that agreement of China with Indonesia. I hope it will be successful.

@nawala123 wow, that's a big number.

@Alexandoy we all wish for the best. 140k victims in infldonesia
