#2Considering I had the damn thing in January, why would I?
The notion that this virus wasn't here until March is not proven.

#3What percentage of the population uses v1.0 software or hardware in a situation where they have zero recourse for possible non-performance?

#4People gathering indoors in violation of government regulations are clearly harming the public, because they invariably will increase the number of infections and deaths.
What are the ethics, though, of refusing to get a vaccine? if Alex Honnold had fallen off the face of El Capitan, he would have killed only himself. Is it not the same in the case of someone refusing to be vaccinated, given that the vaccination is available to everyone who does want it?
There is one difference, I suppose. The person who refuses vaccination and subsequently gets a serious case of COVID-19 causes society to spend a good deal of money treating them in the hospital. (Even if they have insurance they are needlessly increasing the costs of care for everyone.)

If vaccination rates are too low you don’t get herd immunity, and people who are unable to be vaccinated are more at risk.

Because it's unclear how long antibodies last. Unless you've had a positive antibody test it seems like a reasonable measure to protect people around you.

#7A vaccine approved by the FDA on November 2 - not a chance
A vaccine approved on November 4 - sure, I’d trust it.
Trump’s down by a huge margin in polls. If the election was held today, he’d lose. If he thinks he can help himself win by forcing approval of a vaccine, then he’ll do it. A vaccine approved after the election has zero electoral upside for him.
There is virtually no chance that the U.S. will have a proven vaccine by Election Day, several top vaccine experts told POLITICO...But while the Trump administration has insisted that it won’t cut corners on safety — a vow the vaccine developers have taken as well — it’s left the door open to short-circuiting the process before those trials are complete

#8Last time I checked, there was no data about COVID-19. Just guesses.
For example, in Israel, people die with COVID-19, not from it.

What is a typical reason someone wouldn't be able to be vaccinated?
