* The CDC must be transparent about the side effects people may experience after getting their first shot of a coronavirus vaccine, doctors urged during a meeting Monday with CDC advisors.
* Dr. Sandra Fryhofer said that both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccines require two doses and she worries whether her patients will come back for a second dose because of potentially unpleasant side effects after the first shot.
* Both companies acknowledged that their vaccines could induce side effects that are similar to symptoms associated with mild Covid-19, such as muscle pain, chills and headache.
Public health officials and drugmakers must be transparent about the side effects people may experience after getting their first shot of a coronavirus vaccine, doctors urged during a meeting Monday with CDC advisors as states prepare to distribute doses as early as next month.
Dr. Sandra Fryhofer of the American Medical Association noted that both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccines require two doses at varying intervals. As a practicing physician, she said she worries whether her patients will come back for a second dose because of the potentially unpleasant side effects they may experience after the first shot.

All medicine is poison. - Ancient Saying.
Not saying that the vaccine will have a death toll greater than COVID. I expect it to have a death toll orders of magnitude less than COVID.
Maybe people 50 ad older or 60 and older should get the vaccine and leave other people alone.
There is not a lot of cost benefit analysis going on except by politicians looking for power and money.
Twenty year olds or younger taking this vaccine is about as stupid in my opinion as them taking shingles vaccine.
This thing has been rushed to market. There's Almost certainly variables they couldn't have possibly considered. The cynic in me says they had to rush it to market. After all if they did nothing the pandemic was going to do what all pandemics before it have done. Essentially it would burn itself out in 18 to 24 months. Hopefully the cynic in me is wrong and they didn't rush it to market for this reason.
Generally the cost benefit analysis for the young and the healthy or for the healthy period to take this first generation vaccine would lean heavily in my considered opinion to NOT getting this vaccine. Perhaps for those who have "co-morbodities" and are especially vulnerable to this a cost benefit analysis would suggest they should get the vaccine now.
I've been told by my contacts in the medical profession not to take a COVID-19 vaccination until the 3rd or 4th generation. For most people I believe such advice is sound.
Here's a bet, though the Democrats bitch and moan about the safety and the distribution of any Trump administration vaccine they'll clamor to be first in line
"This thing has been rushed to market."
What is a rush?
The pharmaceutical organizations are large and between the 3 of them, they have one scientist. It is a time share arrangement.
Those organizations have more computing power in one persons's cell phone than a lunar lander.
When these pharmaceutical companies do a statistical experiment, they consider 1 variable at a time. Considering 2 variables would be a stretch goal.
Here's a thought. Tour every factory or organization that you can. It will be watching sports or partaking of the entertainment media nowadays. Afterwards take the missus out to a nice steak dinner. There is so much B rated garbage being streamed that you would be better off and more satisfied by going to a factory.
If you collect data on 30,000 people for 4 months or so and then collecting and crunching the data does not take long at all after that 4th month with enough data entry. Review should only take a few (3) days at the 1st 3 levels of bureaucracy.
That is an excellent point. Woth vastly more computing power than was available in times past we certainly can do things faster than before!! It actually seems having "rushed" this to completion they're now slow walking it to distribution.
The vast computing power has positive utility if hoid data is input and all relevant variables are considered. Given "warp speed" for something this complex, I'm skeptical that this could have been done.
I know some people who are goings to rush out to get this vaccine as soon as they can. I suppose they can be the so called "guine pigs." Personally I think the people who should get this first are those over 70 with "co-morbidities." For the young and the healthy or the healthy in general getting the vaccine in general especially at this point probably has negative utility.
Swinging cafe door meets airhead. They have a child. It is named BP.
"Airhead?" Numerous medical professionals have warned against taking a 1st generation COVID-19 vaccine. Are you suggesting they are airheads?
