I am waiting for the CHinese vaccines to come here. Otherwise I am not vaccinating.

`By Oxford vaccine, you mean the Astrazeneca one?

Many people in Germany died because of Pfizer. I would never take it

I will take the AstraZeneca on Martch 15 just because this is what they made me take.
What ever happens, it happens.

@nuno
People don't die from Pfizer.  Please provide a reputable source.  The only thing I can find is this which is saying that it's being reported by a small news outlet that's probably either fake or blowing it out of proportion (there's a whole contingent of Christians who think that the J&J shot is immoral because J&J also does something unrelated with abortions, for example).  There's no way 30 countries could keep this secret.  China is one of the very few who could pull off a "there are deaths and none of our citizens know" campaign.  Whatever you're hearing--assuming there's more than that one article--is almost certainly propaganda of some sort.  At this point there are hundreds of thousands of people involved in administering those vaccines.  Humanity keeping secrets 101 is that hundreds of thousands of people aren't going to keep their mouths shut if people are dropping dead from it.  We'd have way more than 1 source for 1 nursing home.

Don't scare people unnecessarily, and please work on your critical thinking skills.  If you want to wait on the Chinese vaccine that's your life choice, but there's no reason to not trust the others.

In any case the actual answer to this question is you take whatever vaccine you can get.  There aren't enough on the market yet for you to really have much choice--whatever is at your door is what you've got.  They're all about equally effective at preventing death.  As far as I know whether or not Pfizer is better at the new strains is somewhat of an open question because their trials mostly happened before the new strains were a thing.  Covid is so basic from a vaccine perspective that even the Russian and Chinese vaccines that got rushed out the door probably work fine.  We could have had vaccines going in 3 months if it weren't for bureaucracy and medical ethics people getting in the way.

MRNA vaccines are new but as far as I know there's no reason whatsoever the believe they're dangerous or have long-term negative effects.  The chances that we've somehow invented a one-time shot that you take and then 10 years later you drop dead or something are minuscule.  If it was a medication you kept taking, fine.  But since it's not, it leaves your system and then it's gone.  Any weirdness would show up on the labwork and all the other things they check after that point.  One of the biggest problems with medicine is that if you tell the public something is new, the "o my god it might kill me" crowd starts up.  The reason we didn't have covid vaccines on an actually reasonable timeline is because this mindset has put us in the position of not being able to get relatively simple medical treatments out the door quickly even in an emergency.

Come on.  I don't know why I bother.  This is really basic medicine.  1000 out of going on 30 million isn't people dropping dead and some huge conspiracy, it's normal medicine.  Someone somewhere is going to be allergic to whatever, that's just how this works.  Most of those people probably had a pre-existing complication, such as an allergy to the ingredient, but it's not hidden data or some grand "we had better investigate" conspiracy.

It's like how the entire AstraZenica trial got put on hold because of that one guy with an entirely unrelated condition who died wile in it, or the thing about how one of them had to write a detailed report for the FDA about when one of their participants got struck by lightning.

Even assuming it's 1000 out of 30 million or whatever (I think it's higher now) that's a 1 in 30000 chance.  It's not even that high because pre-existing conditions, falsely attributed deaths, etc.  I'm pretty sure we're well beyond 30 million doses administered too at this point, so it's even lower than that.  A quick Google says that there's 12 deaths per 100000 people in the U.S. due to cars, which is 1 in 8000.  SO you're 3 times less likely to die from the Covid vaccine than from getting hit by a car, and that's *before* we ask questions like "are you allergic to x", "are you sick today", "is your immune system suppressed" etc.

Which, again, it's not some huge thing we need to investigate.  You're at a much higher risk just crossing the street on your way to work. SO let's all stop freaking.

Well, all things being equal, a vaccene developed using the same technology as previous ones is by default more trustworthy than one  using newer techniques for the first time. Medications that have persisted in the body before after even a single dose and cause perminent disability aren't unpresidented at all, see fluroquinolone antibiotics. If someone wanyts to take that risk on their own, that's fine, but noone should ever have the right to force that on someone else. If someone has perminent disability from something, or gets killed, its  not the doctor who will have to live with that, nor the vaccene company. People should take charge of their own health rather than blindly accepting as gospel  the decisions others would make for them.

The people who died do to the vaccine was do, far as I know do to allergic reactions

@19 there is a fundamental flaw in your message which is that it is  binary. It is not binary whether you are infected or not because of the degree of infection and transmission. Different vaccines cause cells to act differently because of the tech they use, and when those cells fight the virus, it decreases the viral load in the body. The question is, of course, by how much. People with low viral loads might still have the virus but show no symptoms. People with even lower viral loads have a lower chance of transmitting it to other people. People with higher viral loads are more likely to be hospitalized than those with lower viral loads, and people with higher viral loads are more likely to have severe illness or die than those with lower ones. Vaccines can drastically lower the chance of severe illness, hospitalization, and death even though they may not completely eradicate the virus. WIthout the idea of being inefceted as a binary, none of your other points about not being afraid of the virus , or that it's just a flu, really work.
