Hopefully, the effects of a contagious virus that hurts and kills those that are susceptible (and occasional those that are not) will remain, so that we do not take vaccinations lightly.
We have the luxury of not having to deal with the illnesses for which we normally vaccinate, some interpret this as if there is no need for vaccinations.
This the effect a virus can cause, it can cripple a nation’s healthcare system and kill people.
There’s no vaccination for COVID-19.
Joseph, what I believe he is saying that were it not for vaccines for measles, polio etc this is what we’d be going thru routinely
When you say “the effects” I guess you mean the fact that this virus has effected all causing them to recognize that we need a vaccine, and not the actual effects.
So someone asked me, if the vaccine came out would u take it? First off, a new vaccine is scary for me. It would be with most minimal of safety testing in history. Second, the vaccine would probably LIKE MOST vaccines , be for an illness which 99.99% would not affect me or my children. So in effect, once again, this vaccine would be given to us to protect the vulnerable from what is usually a relatively MILD illness for healthy people (ok don’t kill me I know there are exceptions). And , no one would even know how long the vaccine would last and most scientists are saying it could last just a couple of years . So, I don’t know if I would even stand in line to get one for free ….
NYC expects us to leave home to move cars, while they close our kids schools, and ask us to work from home. Alternate Side Parking needs to be suspended for the next few weeks. #COVID19 link removed
2scents – All the antivaxxers would be first in line to get vaccinated, if a disease came out that affected them. I.E. the flu became a very deadly disease.
Most anti vaxxers simply say that the benefits don’t outweigh the risks of vaccination. Which means each And every vaccine has to be weighed – the potential for harm from the illness versus the harm from the disease (and how likely one is to catch that disease as well) some anti vaxxers will pick and choose the vaccines they feel are worth the risk.
And again, Coronavirus is harmless for most and no small children have died in the WORLD yet. So would I care if my kids got it? I’m Not scared of them catching it, I’m Scared of being stuck home for weeks with them quarantinedCovid-19 can certainly kill kids. There are kids that die from the flu every year. In addition, since China has so few kids we really don’t know 100% what would happen if many kids actually do get sick. For now, let’s take every reasonable precaution including keeping our kids home and hopefully we will survive this with minimal casualties.
Gamanit: So far from the beginning of the virus in December through now in March with COVID-19 infecting over 100,000 and causing over 5,000 deaths, not a single child worldwide has died from COVID-19.
Joseph, they might not have died but they can transmit the virus to parents and grandparents. Two adolescents in Rhode Island tested positive yesterday
The point I’m making – Antivaxxers have Little to No considerations of others. Sometimes we have to do things to save other lives, even though there might be some danger to getting vaxxed. That’s what Religious Jews do – they follow the opinion of Most Poskim.
AJ: My comment was specifically directed to Gamanit in response to her incorrect comment that “Covid-19 can certainly kill kids.”
