Well, I was completely unaware that HN supported polls. This is a pleasant surprise.

Thank you!

EDITED to remove most of the post.

Does anyone have information on possible side effects?

I was a vaccine trial participant and got injected 6 months ago. I'm still alive. AMA.

Did you do an antibody test after to see if you got the placebo or the real thing?

Pfizer? Side-effects?

Oxford. Side effects were just a day of feeling half-crummy. Not a big deal.

People who don't realize that they are alive today because their parents trusted doctors and took the vaccines. These things sort themselves out, over time :)

I'm curious to hear people's rationales for 2) and 3).

I voted to wait. It's because I'm in an age and fitness bracket where I'm unlikely to be in serious danger from becoming infected, and a lifestyle bracket where I'm unlikely to be infected at all. I expect supply will be limited at first, so someone staring down a lot more risk than I am should get it.

If you voted YES and were able to choose among the available (Western) vaccines, BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna or Oxford/AstraZeneca, which one would you take? Does it matter for you?
