Let those who want to get vaccinated, do so.  Then they're immune from the anti-vaxers right?

In theory at least.  If the vaccine(s) are actually effective over time against a mutating virus.

I wonder what the real number is of folks who really won't take the vaccine.

I suspect once they see neighbors and friends getting it with no apparent ill effects they will get it, especially if numbers go higher.  Of course, the true anti-vaxxers won't ever.

For how long, we don't know. If they continue to propagate the virus, then what?

Agreed. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to be immediately comfortable with the idea of taking this vaccine that we all know has been rushed to production faster than any other in the history of our country.  I have no intention of getting the vaccine within the first few months of its release.  I can't blame others for not wanting to do so.

But my i s c & a aggie wife went ahead and did it.  Not because it's state-mandated, but because she wanted to. 

Eventually I will, too.  By my own choice.

The virus is going to propagate anyway, regardless.  Forever.  You have to know that, right?  It's not going away.  The flu doesn't go away.  The cold doesn't go away.

Hopefully, with some immunity, it will decrease in severity. Also, treatments can improve.

So, moving forward, we're all getting flu shots AND Wuhan flu shots, every year. I guess??

I'd assume so.

I'm getting it as soon as it's available to me. Probably in March.

Well that's a good point, too.  I plan to wait a few months after release.  Realistically, I won't make it to the top of the list, before that time.   So really, I'll likely be getting it, as soon as my name is called.

we don't get SARS-CoV, or MERS-CoV shots every year

hopefully COVID-19 will go away somehow as well

My employer released a letter setting their companywide vaccination goal at 70% by first day of Spring. They are starting on a “volunteer basis” with a medical office they’ve contracted.
There’s about 1200 of us nationwide, and based on my sample size of knowing however many dozen, I doubt management will get the initial wave of volunteers they’re hoping for.
Wonder how their next vaccination letter reads.

Gave this some thought.

Those who choose to not get the shot also choose to not work in healthcare any longer, choose to not ever board an airplane, and also choose to quarantine until this thing is eradicated.

Seems fair.
Some of them don't actually have a choice. One of my wife's doctors who works part-time in a hospital, and her other doctor's husband who is a doctor and works in a hospital, were told that they get the shot or they can't come to work and don't get paid. 

I was reading one piece where they looked at frontline healthcare staff, and those with the most education are most likely to get the shot, while those with the least education are the least likely. 

Which should tell you something.

That's pretty much where I was... Figured that due to age, career, and health that by the time my name got called there'd be 100M others who would have already had it.

I've changed my tune and I'd get it today if possible.
