Interpretation (that I’m not actually selling): GenX spooked by AstraZeneca debacle.

Don’t care had vaxx, got it ASAP. So many others don’t care about their conduct I’d rather take the minimal risk of vaccine complications than the risk of COVID and long-COVID.

Gen X here. I’m just waiting for the vax to show up at my local pharmacy. I have the luxury/horror of living alone and working from home. The only time I’ve stepped foot outside my house in the past year is to take out the trash. Since the chance of me catching covid is basically zero, I figure I’d let as many other people as possible get the jab first. My thoughts being that if there’s enough vaccine surplus to finally trickle down to my local pharmacy, enough people will have been vaccinated that it’s now my turn. That being said, I’m checking clic sante about a hundred times a day.

Gen-Xer would be from 40 to 56 (those conceived after the assassination of Kennedy, so September 1964). The case rate for complications with AZ is 1 in 60K for the first shot and 1 in 600K for the second shot. Considering that in Canada, we had 668 deaths per million or if you prefer, just under 1 in 1.5K died, it’s still a superior choice. What we should have is a compensation fund/life insurance policy for those affected by the vaccine.
No one should wait. The sooner you get it, the sooner it takes effect, the sooner you get your second shot and the sooner you can stop worrying about it.
