Not sure how far this has been discussed in the main thread, but would be good to see figures. I'll make the poll anonymous but it would be good to hear people's reasonings.
Yes, I'm high risk/vulnerable.
Yes, but not high risk/vulnerable.
No, I see no reason to get it.
No, I think Magic makes a lot of sense.
Undecided.

Sure, why wouldn't you?
I already got my first dose. Don't really care either way, tbh, but might as well get it over with. If it becomes an every six months or every year thing, I might not bother though.
I don't do medication unless essential (no flu jabs, painkillers etc) and already have the worst of long COVID that I could realistically have so not unless it becomes necessary for something like a foreign trip.
Yes. Because I want life to get back to normal and I need a holiday ASAP.
Yeah. I quality as "vulnerable" (although I definitely wouldn't consider myself as such, but I fall into the category and got the text message, so whatever) so I've already had the first dose (AZ) maybe about a month ago now. The second one got booked at the same time. I think it's June or something.
I can't almost understand not being arsed about it. For example, I get offered my Flu jab every year and never take it, just because I can't be bothered and don't see the Flu as a risk to me. I don't see COVID as a risk to me either to be honest. But this is different, it's very much part of collective effort isn't it. I want my (and everybody else's) life to return to normal as soon as possible, and if sticking a needle in my arm helps achieve that then fine.
I would and see no reason not to.
I've had my first jab and I've got my second booked for the end of the month.
I'll get it. The last thing I want is for a holiday or something to get cancelled because my test at Heathrow came back positive.
No. Don't see the need when it's harmless to most, especially me.
"People with learning disabilities had higher death rate from COVID-19
England death rate up to 6 times higher from coronavirus during the first wave of the pandemic than the general population, Public Health England study finds."

Arf!
Completed it, mate.
It's everyone's civic duty to get it. The more people vaccinated, the less covid there is.
I'll be remaining lizard free.
I've already had two doses of Pfizer.
If I had kids I'd definitely be getting it. We've had a few cases of PIMSTS at work - it's not that rare and is nasty - and I'd want to do everything to reduce the chances of my kid getting that, even if it's more likely they'd catch covid at school than from me either way.

Already got it thanks.
Already my first dose of the superior GOD SAVE THE QUEEN Astrazeneca product.
I don't think I'll be offered it.
I'm a twit
Got my first Pfizer dose. Can confirm that my 5G signal has improved substantially.
There's that learning disability again.
Doctor who works with children is unlikely to know the impact compared to Dr Tragic.
Jimmy Saville worked with children he probably knew more about novid effects.
Kiko on the ropes.
Played the Saville trump card. FFS.
Team marriage ganging up on me again with their miserable jibes.
Ill get it, yeah.
Definitely. I see no reason not to.
What Jimmy means is he's bought that line so is happy to spout it because it simultaneously makes him feel good to do so. Very effective demonstration of the ugly side of this debate.
Getting vaccinated against a disease is significantly higher leverage for society than speculatively testing yourself for it.
Booked.
Hip to be square.
To be honest, I'm undecided. I've been ignoring COVID as best I can since late last year, so I may just be speaking out of pure ignorance, but the only reason to get it seems to be for a vaccine passport, which I'm not sure will actually materialise. I more than fancy my chances against COVID should I catch it, so the big question is are other people at more risk by me not getting the vaccine? From what I've read, it seems you can still carry and pass on COVID so surely getting the vaccine is solely about protecting yourself?
If enough of the population becomes immune (whether through vaccination or through having had it), a critical mass will be reached at which point the virus will no longer be able to spread because too many people are immune. Herd immunity. Mass vaccination is about reaching this point. The vaccine protecting you is pretty much irrelevant (unless you're old or vulnerable).
Israel have already got there, pretty much.
You are 80% less likely to catch it after vaccination which will have a big effect on transmission.
Edit: What Jim said.
I had my first AZ dose about three weeks ago, if my lockdown diet hasn't killed me nothing will.
That sounds like enough of a reason to get jabbed. I'm now 'YES'.
Undecided. Concerned about the microchip.
Facebook already has your data. Fuck it.
I shall insist on a chip in mine, I want my moneys worth.
Always take a free upgrade.
PIMSTS isn't covid, it's a hyper inflammatory state some kids get a number of weeks after covid infection (similar to something like Kawasaki's disease).
The ones we've had have required transfer to PICU. There are potentially long term effects from it as well as it can affect the coronary arteries amongst other things.
