I am really worried, in my country and the country where I live, they are waiting for this vaccine to arrive, MOH said he won’t give it to us, first we wait and if more countries are stopping using it, then they will stop too.

my country stopped the obligation to take it. there were also news reports people died of it in my country. and there came up some scandals, embarassing and that  caused lots people to not take it

Tehran, Iran – Iran has started human trials of Fakhravac, the third domestically developed COVID-19 vaccine, named after nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was assassinated in late November near Tehran in an attack Tehran blamed on its regional foe Israel.

Authorities at the time had said a team under Fakhrizadeh was working on a vaccine against the coronavirus, which has killed 61,000 people since it broke out in the country in February 2020.

The London Virus:

Beware. A new strain of virus originating from London has spread to and seems tailored for people in middle east and south east asia.

- Incredibly infectious. I would say just thinking about it too much might infect you.

- Infects and serious for children.

Other news:

- Covid vaccine seem to be causing Covid in rare cases. With the symptoms of fever, low blood oxygen and cough.

- Russian vaccine the top performer.

- Somewhat credible sources in high places say the London Virus is engineered. Now engineering pathogens, that is, training them to be resistant, aggressive, or giving them mutations IS real. However I find it hard to believe that the West would do so because the people living in the "first world countries" possess significantly lower immunity and there is no way to contain this virus to specific regions.

Anyway, be careful of the situation guys. Take measures. Think ahead. Don't panic. Lets pray for each other.

The virus is real.

I'm still skeptical of the rest.
I'd rather have the virus than the vaccine.

You sound like my mom. I hope the rest of us who do get vaccinated are able to protect you and her both. Most people have to be vaccinated before herd immunity works. 

Too many people have died. I hope you don't die.

I appreciate your concern. I am as concerned for those that get the vaccine, on many levels.
I'm concerned about those who have to wear masks for a dozen hours a day. 
I'm concerned for those that see a bigger picture but are up against a wall.
I'm concerned for those that are forced to comply and know it.
I'm concerned a the kid I used to coach, (well, kid in his 40's) who is single and wears a mask in his car. Who gets tested weekly, who hides from everyone. 

I'm concerned for those who have no hope.

I grieve for the too many people that died to prove there is a pandemic. 

I did surgery, had 19 days to get the opinions from many doctors, nurses, and a porter that completely blew my mind. They were more skeptical than I, especially about the vaccine. Their opinion went public when 50% of doctors and nurses in Alberta refused the first vaccine. That's not very encouraging. 

I've also been laid up long enough to research some really big words. I'm still laid up for a while. More doctors coming forward with their research and experience. Strength in numbers, they can't all be discredited. 

The vaccine may not be "mandatory" by law but it's becoming mandatory with employment. Six months ago that was a conspiracy theory. Once a vaccine is mandatory it doesn't matter what's in it.

You getting a vaccine will not protect your mother. They can't even tell you the vaccine will prevent you from getting the virus yourself. So far the farthest they'll go is "may" reduce the severity. Absolute abuse of the word vaccine. 

I liked to see the raw data in every project I've been involved in. I used to do a lot of the raw data myself. Some projects worked, some failed miserably. The main difference was assertation by repetitive measure, or hidden agenda where data was skewed. When the outcome is presented as a reason for the research in the initial meeting, the science doesn't matter. There is not enough compelling data in any of the restrictions. 

None of the 2020 studies show raw data. If you want to see raw data you have to go back to studies pre covid. Getting harder to find. The NIH redirects to a new page, new format, searches are filtered. The old format was so inundated with 2020 studies that the previous studies were drowned out. Hours of searching for what used to be minutes. Nobody has the time.

I mentioned a porter that blew my mind. I travelled from ICU to three different tech rooms daily for 14 days. One porter took my call often because we'd talk about fishing. While moving one place to another I'd hear "Code blue at the west, east, main, or emergency entrance. I asked him what it meant and it meant another one had overdosed and was dropped at an entrance. "It happens a lot. Lots more than normal. Lots more than covid, that's for sure." 

The cure is worse than the virus. The numbers are skewed. I can't go along with skewed data and nobody has anything to ease my mind. I'm not interested in paid experts. 
In 2011 the WHO published a paper recognizing a 2007 study on the ability of PCR tests to detect and determine SARS, MERS, influenzas A and B, and coronaviruses. The PCR test is now covid only?

In my world, this doesn't make sense.

I'm sorry, I could go on.
