Bahahaha! I work in a hospital and I'm not even getting that vaccine unless my job mandates it (but we won't discuss that right now because that's another topic).

So I'd be a hypocrite if I refused to date someone who's smart enough not to do the same! However, I will expect him to be checked for covid before we go out! As long as he's healthy and not showing symptoms, we can go out.

Well what if he got the vaccine that supposedly you are against... does he still need to get a Covid Test on top of that?

can i ask what your reason is for not getting the vaccine? i'm not in the medcial field so i'd be curious.

@coachtanthony Well that's fine; I would respect his decision; it's not a dealbreaker! But yeah he's still getting a covid test! As to why? That brings me to @genericname85 's question-

Because I don't trust the vaccine; not yet. Me and my coworkers have been discussing this vaccine since it was brought up and the majority of us are against it or refuse to take it.
Think of it like the flu vaccination: yes, it's can protect against the flu, BUT it's not guaranteed that you won't get it. In addition, there are different strains of the flu, which can change overtime or affect people differently. I've gotten the flu, and honestly, I think I even got covid earlier this year (before we knew what it was or it became an epidemic).
Not to mention the potential side effects from said shot-

In addition, you can have covid and be asymptomatic (you don't show symptoms, yet you carry it in your body). That's why some people that haven taken the test came back positive yet weren't sick... interesting huh?
Heck you can be a carrier, yet you don't get sick! That's why I would want him to get tested: for my sake and his.

Let me give you a scenario: I go on a date with a random guy. He's got a great immune system, never been had covid, or shown symptoms- good for him right? Turns out he's asymptomatic.
So if I... let's say kiss him at the end of a date. The droplets from his saliva are exchanged with mine. Now there's a chance I'm going to get sick and contract it-

That's worse case scenario, but you see where I'm going. I know people are scared of this epidemic, but a vaccine isn't going to cure it, at least not right now. People need to just practice common sense, good hygiene, and take care of their bodies as best as they can.

@genericname85 Haha, you are not stupid sir. You're just doing what we should all be doing: living our lives. I'm not saying don't be scared of it; it's definitely real. But if you practice simple steps like washing your hands, good hygiene, and taking care of yourself, even if you do get it, you have a higher chance of recovering from it.

I've been saying since this started that eventually ALL of us are going to get it. It's going to be like the cold or flu. If you have a good immune system and health, yes, you will recover from it, possibly even not show severe symptoms!

But those that are older, sickly, or have weak systems? Obviously, they're more at risk- again, just like any illness. That's why I'm doing my best to stay fit and healthy so if/when I get it, I will be okay.

yeah i'm not saying it's "not real". i don't wanna have it, just like i'm not gonna go out of my way to get the flu xD common sense. if someone has the sniffles, i'm not going near them. but i disagree with changing the entire society just for this corona thing. and i cerrtainly disagree with coerced vaccination in the case of flu and corona...
while i do think in cases of polio, rabies and tetanus for example, getting a vaccine is smart, simply out of risk/benefit calculations, i think flu vaccines are more of a risk to most people, cause if you get the vaccine and shortly after you actually get infected, your chances of having a very severe case of pneumonia and actually dying are drasticly incread BECAUSE of the vaccine... in my opinion, that's why so many people in italy died. cause they have compulsory flu vaccinations.

@Cynicaldreamer if the new covid vaccine will be 100% secure would you take it?
genericname85

1 y
@username1580 the thing is you CAN NOT know that. because it takes 5-7 years at the very least to be "somewhat" sure that there's no delayed adverse effects.

it's funny that people get so irrationally scared of covids late adverse effects but they don't care about the same thing when it comes to the vaccine, even though the vaccine is way more experimental and "new" than covid19.

did you know that RNA vaccines have actually never been tried on humans? this is an entirely new kind of medicine and we're litterally only taking one year to develop it and check for adverse effects. don't know about you, but to me, that's highly concerning.

the cure shouldn't be more dangerous and uncharted than the actual disease...
username1580

@genericname85 so basically we just need a lot of time to make sure , like other vaccine.
genericname85

@username1580 well yeah. in order to know it won't have adverse effects within 5 years, you gotta test it for 5 years, cause otherwise you don't know. you can't skip time. we already know corona viruses and what they do. we do not know how RNA vaccines perform on humans. we have only tested them on lab rats before.

@username1580 Only if I'm forced to! I don't want to scare anyone on here into taking or not taking the vaccine, but I don't think it's necessary. Look at the people that have contracted covid, and lived! And of course people who have not gotten it yet. You know why? They're careful and take care of their bodies!

Now if you have underlying health issues, and a stable vaccine eventually comes out would I suggest you take it? YES. But only if your physician advises you to- not because everyone else got it or it's available. Do you research first, read the side effects associated with the shot, and then if you still want it? Go for it!

Now my job DOES require me to take a flu vaccination, and this year they're really pushing us to take it. Failure to take it will result in us not being able to clock in- which of course will result in us getting fired : I'm putting my off until the last minute because I'm just stubborn, haha. But I am getting the flu shot.
The only people that are exempt from taking it are those that are allergic to the ingredients in it (egg), or it's against their religion.

@Catlover1999 Hey there!
As to why I trust the test over the vaccine? The test is somewhat accurate and reliable-
Note how I said "somewhat." I don't fully trust it, but it's better than nothing at the moment. If you have symptoms, or have covid in your system, the test will show up as positive.

As for the vaccine? I don't trust it... YET. If you do research on vaccines, it takes years until they're proven to be stable and work. Plus they have to observe you for side effects, if any. This vaccine just came out, and was rushed may I add. And while it appears to be safe, who knows how it might affect the body months, years down the road.

To put it bluntly, I don't want to be a guinea pig. Until it's been out for a while, there's no proven side effects, and the CDC tells us it's safe and efficiently works? I'm not going near it.

Now I'm not a medical expert, so no, it's not my place to tell y'all what to do. I'm just going by common sense and being careful. Obviously others on here disagree with me: that's fine. I just urge everyone to be careful and do some research before "jumping on the bandwagon."

Sure most were actually finding that people without Pre-existing conditions aren’t dying from the virus. Even older people who are healthy survive (there still dying from it but more people are dying if the had a pre-existing condition. The reality is if your between the age of 0-55 unless you have something like asthma or diabetes your likely not going to die and quit frankly if it’s true that once you get it, you can never get it again. Then anyone who is below the age of 35 should get it so this becomes something like the yearly flue instead of what happening now. The virus is always going to be with us we can’t continue to wear masks everywhere we go or lock down everytime the uptick in above 3% like my state were about to lock down again according to Jay enslee (may he get the virus and die he’s such an idiot). you want an example of exactly what I’m talking about like Sweden they are having an uptick right now but they’re nowhere getting hit as hard as the rest of Europe And every country in Europe except Sweden is wearing a mask which tells me either one of these mass don’t work at all or to Sweden was right from the very beginning and we should’ve never lock down we should’ve never wore mask and we should’ve all gotten COVID-19 by this point.

Depends if mutations of CV19 will have a vaccine and if it will still be top of the pile in viruses to be dealt with, a year from now.

Early indications are that it's mutations are going to require new vaccinations. Mainly as nearly all current vaccinations use the CV19 spike protein. Most mutations are occurring in the spike protein.

However, new (or old) viruses are able to slip under the net while all resources are aimed at tackling CV19. We could move into another pandemic, right after the current one.

I’m a little worried about the vaccine not sure I trust it even though I’m usually pro vaccine, but I think I will be pressured into taking it.
my biggest concern is side effects. My second biggest concern is that these people will say Even After you get the vaccine that you still can get it, mask up blah blah. It’s pointless to take it if they still treat you like you are at risk.

Not once in my entire life have I ever been vaccinated against anything, and yet I've not only never, ever been seriously sick, but I don't even catch minor ailments anymore (I haven't had the common cold in over five years now, even though I've been exposed to people who have had it). I simply do not trust the people who are behind pushing these vaccines, and if that makes me an 'anti-vaxxer' then so be it. This entire situation seems like nothing more than a con, a swindle to test the boundaries of what people are willing to put up with when they are given mandates they must comply with by their government. >:(

I left work on the night of Nov 5th not feeling very well. Went straight home and to bed. I woke up the next morning with a slight fever, achy muscles, headache, congestion, shortness of breath. Drug my ass to town and tested Positive for COVID-19. I never got any worse but it wasn’t until the 14th that I was feeling better. So back to town for another test. I can’t go back to work until I test negative. I’m currently waiting for my latest test results. At least I’ve been getting paid. Which bring me to my point. Yes, I would date them. I ain’t skeeeerd.

They are fun but can also be a let down. I had a threesome with two Indian guys once, I was all horny and super wet ready to go on the bed, they both had tiny penises, like baby dicks and both came within a minute and left. I had to masturbate to get off. And later as I was peeing I had to pull out a condom that had slipped off one of theif tiny dicks, like I bought regular sized fof them.
Mmf are definitely tricky because if one guy is bigger thr other guy might not be able to perform or if like my ex he might get jealous if the other guy is way better and makes you cum more and harder than he ever has, that can wreck a relationship.
Mff are the best bet because if the guy cums to soon which usually happens in mff threesomes we girls can continue without the guy and maybe gets hard again after a while watching.
Its not uncommon for they guys to get a sandwich and a drink after they cum in a mff threesome. Same as at orgies.

I won’t be rushing to take a vaccine that hasn’t been tested for long term side effects. I’m not anti-vaccination but only in the case that a vaccine has been put through at least 10 years of testing, in order to monitor the long term effects a vaccine leaves. 10 years used to be standard but now these vaccines are rushed out in months.

The last time I recall a approved vaccine causing trouble was the swine-flu vaccine. That hadn’t been tested thoroughly for long-term effects and it’s ended up linked to causing Guillain-Barré Syndrome and other deadly nerve conditions.

To answer your question, I’d go on a date as long as both parties were tested before hand. I’d also be willing to go on a date with someone who had been vaccinated but I wouldn’t risk it myself, not until the long-term side effects are researched thoroughly. It wouldn’t be sensible to do so.

Probably I guess. I study medical biology and someone who doesn't trust in the science I do is not right for me I think. I get it why you wouldn't want to take it, but I think not thinking about the general public is a deal breaker.
Also, you will not be able to see my family since my sister is immunocompromised and is not able to take a vaccine for another 1-2 years or so.

Just because you believe in science doesn't mean you have to blindly trust in science. Humans are fallible and their own drives and motivations get conflated with supposedly 'objective' evidence. If you want a thorough exposition about this, you can read about it in Dr Campbell's book, Whole. By the same token, I would suggest that those vaccinated with Pandemrix were also told that the vaccine is safe? Or are things different now? Were we ignorant in 2009 or 10 or whenever it was, and now is our scientific advancement so marked a mere 10 years later that we should listen to the same spiel about it being safe. I found it funny that a commentator described narcolepsy, in their anti- 'anti-vaxx' diatribe, as a 'sleep disorder'. Sure, tell that to the people who committed suicide and had their lives ruined.

On the news today (with no hint of irony):

Fifth article down if you search Essure on the BBC news website:

"UK regulators are reassuring women the permanent birth control implant Essure is safe despite concerns in the US. "

@Levin actually my WHOLE STUDY is about not to trust science blindly, therefore my own investigation into the vaccine is not done yet, however, vaccines are one of the most safe drugs that exist. Especially if you look at this vaccine in particular, which is made out of mRNA of the spike protein and not the virus itself, it looks very promising.
Also sometimes you have to think about the weight of the general public and those of the individual. A few people might develop some side effects, which is extremely sad and we hope to prevent that at all costs, but we're also in a global pandemic where millions of people are dying everyday, not counting the effects on the economy, mental health etc.

Also for the vaccine you described. Many studies have already found no correlation between narcolepsy and the vaccine.
Tbh I don't know how the Essure thing is related to vaccines. Drugs and vaccines are quite different.

Depends on their reason for not getting it - maybe they're immunocompromised in a way that makes getting vaccines unusually risky, say - but most likely no.

Someone who refuses an approved COVID-19 vaccine at this point, who has no valid reason against getting it, would be someone lacking in the baseline humanity, compassion, empathy, and common sense I require in a possible partner.

Thank you! I am amazed by how selfish everyone is. It is not just about you, but everyone around you. And it is not only about getting sick and infecting everyone, it is also about lockdown which makes world economy suffer.

@Dreamy2020 Agreed on all counts. It's amazing to me in a "humanity has really lost itself" way to see so many people be willfully ignorant and happy to endanger the lives of others.

It's amazing to me as well how many people seem so confident in their own personal abilities to be a badass, and yet when asked to wear a mask or get a little poke from a tiny needle get so afraid that they begin inventing conspiracies or clamouring about freedom.

If it weren't for the thousands dying every day in their own country, it'd be entertaining and hilarious. Instead, it's just pathetic and cowardly.

Having almost died of covid this year I hope the antibodies in my system will act like I'd been vaccinated already. I wouldn't want to get into a relationship with someone who wasn't vaccinated for covid because they would likely not be vaccinated against anything else and I don't want my son exposed to anti vacc bullsh1t.

If some have it and the virus/disease whatever dies out I don't see how that would continue to be a problem... Its only an issue if someone decides to not have it catch the virus and go around spreading it like the hiv psychopaths... (the ones that were purposefully trying to infect others.)

It depends why.

I’m not going to be afraid to be around them as I’m not compromised and presumably would be vaccinated. So if they had good reasons for not being then that’s fine.

on the other hand if they aren’t vaccinated because they think George soros and Bill gates want to put microchips into them to track them then their being in a cult might discourage me from dating them.

i don't take any vaccine that hasn't been super duped checked. And covid ain't even past the 4 years of making a vaccine yet which is the fastest a successful one was made and normally they take way way longer than 4 years even up to 20 years.
So no i wouldn't have a problem with that. if the other person don't want to have serve reactions to it that's called smart.

I'd hope he wouldn't be clueless enough to get a vaccine that is unsafe. People don't seem to realize it takes a long time to make a vaccine. The ones they've tried for covid, killed the test animals. I will never get it. Rather have covid than the vaccine.

No it is not a deal breaker because I'm not getting it either.

I don't like newer vaccines, I would like to know what it does to your body long term. I wait 10 - 15 years after a vaccine has been developed before taking it.
I'm always scared that it will make me infertile or something like that.

You can't take it out of your body once it is injected.

Well, can anyone really tell the future? Maybe Covid-19 will become seasonal like the flu. In this case, a vaccine won't be necessary. Do you date people that haven't had the flu shot for H1N1?

People aren't being put on ventilators at an alarming rate from the seasonal FLU. Much less dangerous in my opinion. So nobody in the news has said the lethality of this virus will minimize. Appreciate the comments!

I wouldn’t take vaccines in general they are most likely poisonous and Covid isn’t as horrible as they’re making it out to be. But even if I did believe that Covid it was as dangerous as they say and a girl I cared about did not get vaccinated still I would say no it is not a dealbreaker it’s about love.

Yes definitely. My sister is immune compromised. Even then, I don't want to date someone who would be selfish enough to not get vaccinated. It takes a community, that's why Australia has <10 new cases every day and <1000 deaths total since Jan.
