Not on HN, though.
Why not?
Because last I checked, HN was not pregnant women's favorite forum.
You could create a poll if you doubt it, I trust my gut :)
Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?

Re: Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
#572It's my civic duty to take it as soon as it's offered to me, even if there's some minuscule chance that there will be an averse side effect. That said, I'll likely be towards the end of the line given my health and occupation.
Why is it your civic duty? What will you having this vaccine do for anybody but yourself?
Lowers the risk you are infected and infect other people and/or take a bed in a crowded hospital

Its a good question let me answer - some people can't get the vaccine. Right now, it's banned for people with allergies. Babies can't get it. For some people, they can never get it due to their immune system.
Their only chance is never coming into contact with a contagious person, so that means as many of us need to get the vaccine as possible to ensure that doesn't happen.

It will help stop the spread

Same as a mask? Keep him from transmitting it to other people.

Harsh. Would you be comfortable convicting those people with attempted murder?
Not who you're replying to, but not for ignorance. On the other hand, if someone knows they've been exposed and still behave carelessly, I'm absolutely fine with charging people with attempted murder, endangering the public health, or something similar.
I completely agree if you test positive and don't follow the isolation period then that's a problem. However op seems to be saying that if you go shopping (could be classed as high risk?), don't know you have the virus, and pass it on then that's a problem too?
What's the difference between passing this on unintentionally and passing any other virus or disease unintentionally?

You can't spread a disease if your immune system kills it on contact.
Re: Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
#578Yes, but I'm in a pretty isolated context currently so if that continues I might delay it not because I don't trust the vaccine but because it just wouldn't make sense (EDIT: be worth the hassle for anyone and consume a by the beginning limited resource). (But then there is a good chance the context changed when vaccines are available for the general public in Germany ;-) )

Having the vaccine decreases the probability that I spread the virus.

> People who are super social (or stupid + spreading the plague) What if somebody has asymptomatic covid infection? He or she spreads it without intent, you can not blame them.
If they know it’s spreadable without symptoms, unfortunate, as is is, there’s a level of fault. Stupid is not a term I would use, though. Mingling with other people at a similar comfort level of contract Covid - that’s just adults being adults. That’s freedom. But if those people then go to unavoidable places like grocery stores, they’re putting people at risk who don’t have much of a choice.
Is there not home delivery where you live?
