I am a biology student. Maybe I can have more technical information about the covid vaccine. But I am curious about people's opinions on the covid vaccine in general. Do you trust vaccines? Would it be okay if the government said you could get vaccinated?

I think a lot of people are torn on this, but given the gravity, understand the need for the vaccine and any mandate that may follow. This is a global pandemic that all countries who value science and logic and the health of the neighbors seem to have a handle on. The US is one of the most heavily vaccinated countries, from six months old on, so I understand the hesitation, but as far as the US goes, they toppled 16 million cases of COVID, rendering all discussion for a vaccine moot. Half the country still won’t wear a mask to help stop the spread, so it seems like the government is left with no choice but to institute a mandate. I think no one will trust a vaccine that that the Trump administration produces, which is why there is a much comfort another country created the vaccine. It is of my opinion that the politicians should be the first to take it, so we can see what side effects there are. That, and the vaccine should be 100% free.

There is an obligation to wear a mask in my country and I support this as well. Because individual behavior causes social consequences. But the insurgency is a little more complicated situation than that. Convincing the people to the rebellion and bringing them to the rebellion is what can do well now. By the way, I absolutely agree with what you said first. Establishing the healthcare professionals of the politicians will increase the trust of the public.

One of my first cousin is not a biology student, he is now a professor. We should trust the vaccines IF they have been seriously tested FOR MONTHS and on a large quantity of people of different ages and with different health problems. That said, Governments rushed out this vaccine and I do not trust it.

@svdiko yes....but the other vaccines come after enough trials that are not at all present in this vaccine.

@svdiko I do trust vaccines not only the covid 19 vaccine but all kinds of vaccines. Take for example the polio vaccine. If not for the polio vaccine a lot of men and women from my generation would have suffered from severe deformation.
I would be very happy and relieved if our government would at last give the go signal to have all of us Filipinos vaccinated.

Actually, the oral polio vaccine can cause polio. In Africa, the oral vaccine has mutated into an infectious form and is killing more children than the wild virus.
In rare instances, the live virus in oral polio vaccines can mutate and become infectious, causing new outbreaks.

I am hearing a lot on this vaccine, I don't know that it is totally safe. I have heard that many elderly who get it will pass from it. That is very scary to think of it happening.
Normally I would say I would get this right away , especially if it doesn't allow you to go to work or places that will require it. But right now I have many doubts.

I believe in it and believe it will help, but, not so sure I will take it. For personal reasons because we have to make an appointment to do it but the problem is how many people will be there when I would have my appointment so not sure I will do it. I usually get the flu shot but there were problems and I wanted someone to come to my home and give me the shot and the vaccine and something else but it did not work out
