    The first vaccine to be tested was financed entirely by Pfizer.  Volunteers will get up to $1,375.  I've done riskier things for less money.

    I wonder if part of the testing includes first giving you the virus and then the shot to see if it does anything? :o

    How many would volunteer to work in a hospital setting providing care to Covid19 patients for a prolonged period of time ?

    How many here would volunteer to personally pay all expenses for treatment of a significant Covid19 infection in yourself or significant other ?

    How many here would be willing to take the actual responsibility for infecting someone else, who died as a result ?



    Most of the Healthcare folks get paid well and recognized for what they do, the Housekeeping/Engineering/Food service staffs in those same places not so much labeled hero's but probably as much at risk as the Docs and Nurses.

    Unless you are advocating Government healthcare for all, we all pay for our ailments or we carry insurance of some kind, with the transfer of wealth Obama Care plan Insurance is cheap if you don't make a lot of money.

    Same responsibility as if they spread the cold I guess

    I would not volunteer for a Chinese designed vaccine.  That could be what Covid-19 is in the first place.
    I would volunteer as a member of a somewhat vulnerable population after the first round of testing in healthy folks proved successful if the vaccine was developed and being tested by a US company.  I would even volunteer to be exposed to the virus once anti-bodies were present.  
    We need to keep in mind that the risk of severe complications is still very low in the general population.  If I could do something to help put this lock-down lunacy behind us by potentially helping protect the vulnerable, it would be well worth the minimal risk involved.

    Agreed.  I don't know of any medical professionals that are "volunteering" their time . . . and since that is what the questions was . . . thanks for playing.

    With relation to the last question posted above, what should the "responsibility" be?  Before I am willing to accept responsibility, I need to know what it is?  That way I will be able to make an informed decision . . . and answer the question.

    Pretty sure most folks who have been treated in hospitals and clinics have been billed for services. Insurance claims paid what ever they were insured to pay.  The rest is on the patient.

    US, I think the Samaritans Purse medical professionals that were all but thrown out of NYC for their love and concern for the wellbeing of their fellow men and women were volunteers.

    There was no revenue in it for NY or NYC.  
    The same reason the USNS Comfort and the Javits Center were not used.

    They were thrown out for other reasons than money.

    Take this for whatever, I'm sure either side of the fence can have complaints. I'll err on the side of freedom.

    Such as?


    Seems the Javits Center would have been a better repository than nursing homes.

    So that's a big NO for me on taking the vaccine.

    Given their history with things like tainted infant formula and poisoned dog food, I'll pass. Buying their cheap crap at Walmart is one thing, getting anything to go inside any living thing you care about, like you, your kid, or your dog is another.

    I don't even get the "non-Kung" flu shots.  It seems that I may be immune to the Kung Flu anyway.  By all appearances, a co-worker had the Kung Flu in late December and I was exposed within close quarters during work travel. My co-worker died but I didn't show any symptoms. I'm waiting on the antigen (or whatever they call it) tests to find out.
