Would you get vaccinated against ebola?

[desert dude]

Suppose a safe, effective vaccine is developed and made available for $100.00 per vaccination? Suppose further that the ebola situation is no different than today, mostly contained in West Africa, though epidemic, with a few cases springing up here and there in the industrialized countries.

Would you get vaccinated?

 

[sunni]

no

 

[ginwilly]

Yes. Most likely I'll be forced to if I want to work in a hospital. I'm on my 22nd flu shot.

 

[Canna Sylvan]

There's no such thing as a safe vaccine, only ones with "acceptable" risk.

 

[budlover13]

No. No. No.

 

[butsack]

I welcome death!

 

[sheskunk]

Life is a risk. I'd do it.

I'd rather buy $100 worth of grow supplies.

I'd rather buy $100 worth of grow supplies.

Is that all you have? $100?

You're just scared.

 

[Canna Sylvan]

Is that all you have? $100?

You're just scared.

The OP's hypothetical cost for the vaccination is $100. I'd rather have that much more in grow supplies.

You don't have an extra $100 to spare?

My insurance would cover mine.

Why would I spend a penny on something so stupid? I'm an isolationist. As such, policies would've been enacted to prevent this very situation. Those like Buck laugh at the dangers of letting in vectors. Then those like the OP talk of vaccinations because of people laughing.

I eat all whole foods prepared from their raw ingredients. A vaccination is the type of garbage I want out of my body and why I pay so much for what I eat.

 

[NoDrama]

I will sell each of you a special pill that makes you immune to lightning strikes and terrorist attacks. Only $20.

So your scared.

 

[Canna Sylvan]

So your scared.

If I were scared I'd sign up for a vaccination like you and the OP. Apathetic is much different.

WHO's scared again?

 

[sheskunk]

I'm not scared, just cautious.

You're scared that if you put the wrong things into your body bad things will happen. Everything from meat to vaccines. It all worries you. You're worried about your effect on everything around you. You live a lifestyle that you believe leaves the least impact on the environment around you. You are scared that your actions may hurt others. Your scared of life.

I do it because by living a Buddhist lifestyle, otherwise it's being a hypocrite.
