I just think it’s quite dangerous to perpetuate that it might affect fertility when there’s absolutely zero evidence to suggest it could.
Adverse reactions, I can get on board with people having concerns with but this fertility aspect, I just don’t understand. And people are saying it a lot.
100%.
My mum works within this industry and is having it this weekend.
She's reassured me that the vaccine is okay! There's no evidence regarding infertility, I'd not worry about it.
In fact, I'd not worry at all. This is important, covid is way more dangerous than the vaccine.

I think that is what scares me. Where has it come from? Why do people believe it does?
What do you think of long covid? Is that something you are worried about or not? Sorry I don't want to sound mean or judge for people not choosing to have the vaccine, I think if that's your personal choice that's ok, but I do wonder why people seem to worry about long term effects of a vaccine, but not of the virus itself.
Exactly there's 0 evidence. I'm sick of all the false info surrounding the vaccine it's dangerous and dissuades people from having something that is very important.I replied to you with the full fact article (below) explaining and essentially disproving the fertility claims in the covid thread. If scientific explanations won’t calm you on this then to be honest I’m not sure what will?
It’s not mandatory so no one is forcing you. If you would rather take your chances with covid that is your prerogative. There’s about as much evidence as to whether covid effects fertility as with the vaccine.
There’s no evidence the Pfizer vaccine interferes with the placenta - Full Fact
One expert said the possibility was ‘vanishingly small’.fullfact.org
Conspiracies. Come from facebook, twitter, youtube. One person makes a bullshit post and it spreads and people fall for it.
I'm not particularly worried about it, I do have asthma but I think I would rather take my chances than put something into me I don't fully understand. I am a scientist so I do have some background in things like this so it's just my opinion. I'm also pregnant so won't be able to get it even if I wanted to at the minute.
It doesn't sound mean, everyone is entitled to their opinions
Because social media is a breeding ground for uneducated fools.
The people sharing it will be the same people sharing that illegal immigrant Abdul is receiving £50k a year from the government while your Nan is shivering on £10 a week.
Easy - scaremongering. The internet is a breeding ground for this sort of stuff. There are loads of people believe the earth is flat. Do you think that theory merits any consideration just because lots of idiots say its true.
Also the ones who post about poppy's being banned. Year after year and fall for it every time.
It's not about that. The more people who get the vaccine the better off we are as a society. If my time ever comes I'll have the vaccine as then I'll be another number to add to the population who's vaccinated, it's necessary for herd immunity. Plus, by the time most of the younger, healthy people will even come to having it all the vulnerable people should have had the vaccine so that shouldn't be relevant.Yeah for sure, but that’s not protecting anyone else but yourself? I get that people want it to prevent themselves having covid, but having it isn’t going to stop you passing it to vulnerable people. That’s why I don’t get this whole “moral duty” stance that others have said in this thread. If anything it just makes you more likely to be asymptotic and not know you have it - so probably increases you passing it on if anything
The moral duty I understand in regards to social distancing and wearing a mask. That is just common decency though, why risk making someone sick or killing them when you can create a gap between yourself and others. As a society we should care about each other instead of being selfish. This pandemic has exposed many flaws within Western society, particularly the USA and UK.
I think some people may be misunderstanding but even so, there's nothing wrong with people wanting to do their bit. And at least they won't have to worry about getting sick.

I take all on board that you have said but your well-being is one person. If you are front line covid and working with hundreds of patients then it’s well-being of one person versus well-being of hundreds of others. Of course we should all have personal choice but we have to do everything we can to help.
I couldn’t have said it better myself, thanks.Also the ones who post about poppy's being banned. Year after year and fall for it every time.

No.
I am young fit and healthy so will continue to trust my immune system to fight off a virus with a 99.9 percent survival rate. Now when this rushed vaccine has many years of long term results to read in to when I am say ten years older then I might change my mind.

Really ?? How many ?
I get where you are coming from but I’d have to disagree.. when have we ever paid attention to the make of any other vaccine we have had in the past? We just get what we are given. The media and fake news outlets have hyped these vaccines so much that people are now being overskeptical about them all... either you want the vaccine or you don’t
I’m only saying this as I have had to deal with organising the vaccine delivery for the 80+ Over the past few weeks and even with them, there has been some very opinionated people who want to pick and choose (I must say 99% have just been grateful to have received a vaccine).. but it’s unfair for us health workers to deal with these opinions and I’m sure People’s sense of entitlement to know which vaccine they are getting will stronger as the people get younger...
I get that, and I’m not saying I want to pick and chose but surely to make an informed decision and give our consent we should be told what we are being injected with? I’ve never paid much attention but I’m sure when I’ve had jabs in the past I’ve at least been told what they are - maybe not I can’t remember!I get where you are coming from but I’d have to disagree.. when have we ever paid attention to the make of any other vaccine we have had in the past?

There was a handful of nurses in the hospital I knew of , and then they did an article on it as it was started to be noticed nationwide
How come? Nothing to worry about it will all be ok and we are all in it together.Reading this thread scares me
I’ll be happy to take it when it eventually comes to my turn. I’ve not long had COVID and it was very mild for me (thankfully). Some family members have already had the first dose due to work/age and like I said I will too. I get the flu jab each year from the doctor and I don’t see it as much different to be honest.
I’m taking it more because I want to go back to some normality. I want herd immunity to kick in so that restrictions can be lifted sooner. The devastation that this virus is causing to mental health is unreal and I would suggest that this will be peaking just now on top of the usual spike seen in January.
