Merry, I understand where you are coming from. I'm not doubting that they may have this vacine may be effective! My only concern is with Dr. Fauci , he keeps moving the goal post all the time! (Which happened last week with the Herd Immunity.) His orginal statement that we didn't need masks, and many others! To his defense there is constant presure from the media to make a comment or some kind of update!
I feel his comment that this vacine will be 90% -95% effective is shooting from the hip! No one can acturately istate it's outcome until it has been out for a resonable amount of time!
My Personel Comment, is we are looking for that "Silver Bullet! We have to just give it time!
I think the one constant are we know who is the most vurnable, people over 65 years of age, people with Obesity, people with Diabetes, and people whom have heart trouble!
Dr. Fauci did an interview on "Front Line" on PBS a few months ago where he said the more we move into the virus the less we know about it!
It's all a Debatable Subject right now! We all need to do what we feel is right for each of us! Plus not infecting others at the same time!
Time will Tell!
Thank You for your information!
From, The Land of Enchantment!

@sundance6- Oh dear, poor Dr. Fauci. I must say that at the beginning he did seem to waver quite a bit but he had the president breathing down his neck. This virus has changed so quickly and we have learned so much in such a short time. But that also leads to having to contradict ourselves, change our answers. Thank goodness you have Connect to depend on for up-to-date-changing information! In all the research that I do, for myself and my family and here I always look at several resources. I think that is the best way to go about it.

I think that we have to give Dr. Fauci credit. He continues to tell the truth to the American public despite what his boss wants. And Dr. Poland has also changed what he has said. Dr. Poland is certainly easier to listen to, but as I said, checking more than one resource is important.

I'm glad that you spoke with your doctor and have settled on getting the vaccine. I hope that my appointment will give me the same answer tomorrow.

Be safe.
