Everyone's favorite topic...Vaccines


Hypothetically, let's say one of these vaccines makes it through a fast-tracked process and is deemed ready for prime-time within the next 6 months (yes I know that is unlikely). Would you give it to your child knowing that they are by far the least at-risk? Will schools require this early on?

Frankly, I would be extremely hesitant to give my kid a vaccine that was rushed through trials...Given how long it will take to ramp up production anyway, I would advocate for giving it to the most at-risk populations first (especially the elderly) to actually see if you can't come up with some kind of immunity between the vaccinated/herd while also drastically reducing deaths and then allowing longer, more complete trials.

Obviously going to be a delicate situation...But if you thought the vaccine debate was rough before, just wait until this one hits.
