Which vaccine?

@Jolly hopefully President Trump already has a plan that has been detailed out. And hopefully President elect Biden will use that and build on that to maximize the speed of the vaccine to people
The plan, or at least the gist of one, has been in place for several weeks. Trump has tasked the military with transporting the vaccine. As for storage and innoculation, I do not know.

That’s a change, Loki. Within days of the election you actually posted that we weren’t going to hear about Covid anymore.
And we haven't, at least not in a particular way.
Random sample - FWIW (because I’m familiar with it):
The Daily is a podcast by the NYT. Picks one story from the day and does a 20 min episode on it.
Over the last 10 days, 5 episodes have been about COVID. The other 5 have been about election, and a smattering of other topics.
Another datapoint: my Canadian parents. They’re super worried about COVID now, and they don’t even have a Trump.

I’ll try all of them, what the hell,
90 plus 95 plus 95 = 280% efficacy. What could go wrong?
LOL, bach. Count me in on that. My math might be different, but my hopes the same.

You guys must watch different news from me. Pretty much every other story I see is about Covid.
If all you do is look at the US political pages, then don't complain if all you read about is US politics.

Whichever vaccine you get, it’s gonna suck.

Whichever vaccine you get, it’s gonna suck.
Participants in Moderna and Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine trials told CNBC in September that they were experiencing high fever, body aches, bad headaches, daylong exhaustion and other symptoms after receiving the shots. While the symptoms were uncomfortable, and at times intense, the participants said they often went away after a day, sometimes sooner, and that it was better than getting Covid-19.''

I don't see any statistics on how many people experienced this, or percentages. This quote seems to indicate this is widespread.
“If this proves to work, people are going to have to toughen up,” she said. “The first dose is no big deal. And then the second dose will definitely put you down for the day for sure. ... You will need to take a day off after the second dose.”

I can't imagine it being worse than the night before the colonoscopy, which I have typically spent singing Johnny Cash songs.

That, and 'Don't take your bum to town'.

A word from President Obama:
“Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f**k things up,” said Obama. He also reportedly told him “You don’t have to do this, Joe, you really don’t” regarding a possible 2020 bid. When the former VP threw his hat in the ring, Obama’s team was apparently very stern with the Biden crew, ensuring that the vice president didn’t embarrass himself or tarnish the Obama legacy with his antics (via CBS 19):

Astra Zeneca is going to get fucked

I shop around for that too. No nasal for me (can't do live virus), and always quadrivalent. I just call around. Sometimes I have to try a couple places to get the quad.
It will be harder to venue shop for Covid vaccines, might mean going out of state.
