There's a fund, the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Provider Relief Fund, that could help pay for vaccine fees alongside insurance. But it's possible the administration fee could still be high.
I can’t wait for the “COVID vaccine killed my grandma!” crowd to materialize. Never mind that grandma was 90 and could have been killed by literally anything.

That is a really cheap shot. Someone loves those people and the callousness of that statement is pathetic.
Who would blame the vaccine for killing grandma except people with an anti-vax agenda.
It's inevitable that these bad faith people do this though.
After all these same people are already pushing that Bill Gates is microchipping people in vaccines.

It’s also the opinion of the dissent vote at the CDC to give the vaccine to the elderly in care homes first. Giving a new vaccine to such a frail population just seems like a bad idea. The vaccine needs as much good press coverage as possible so as many people get it as possible. It just isn’t rational.
Sorry for your loss but I guarantee you that you are not the only one to lose someone you love that meant a lot to you. A lot of us have. You don't have to lecture us on loss.
Many people here have lost grandparents, parents, siblings, spouses, children. I've lost 4/5 of those groups and damn near made it to all 5 over Thanksgiving.

I imagine that the COVID vaccine has already had more testing than the average flu vaccine. They have maybe, what, a couple weeks to roll out for flu season at most?
I'll probably wait on the vaccine for my family only because they have compromised immune systems. We'll see what our doctor says.

The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are a completely new type of inoculation and have little in common with the flu shot. Of course, if the mRNA vaccines are wildly successful they could replace the common flu shot altogether.
Hopefully clinicians and manufacturers can figure out why people with hyperactive immune systems (aka allergies) are reacting to the Pfizer vaccine. Early reports suggest it’s a sensitivity to the polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the shot. It’s always something. If anyone wants to test their sensitivity to PEG, try some Miralax.
Tuesday there were two people -- who both carried an adrenaline auto injector and had a history of allergic reactions -- that developed symptoms of anaphylactoid reaction after receiving the Pfizer vaccine.
Thousands overall were vaccinated in the UK on Tuesday.
What they've found is only a worry for people with a severe history of allergic reactions such that these people who are tooling around with adrenaline auto injectors in their pockets.
Our course this information is subject to change but so far, it doesn't seem like much of a concern at all for the average joe.

That's consistent with the results from their testing - I think about 1 in a thousand reported some allergic reaction, though nothing too serious.
The 2 or 3 days after the second dose as apparently pretty miserable. They seem to be advising people to take off work in the immediate aftermath of the second shot.
The vaccines tested so far have been amazingly successful, but one being developed in Australia has just been withdrawn from trials - it did produce antibodies against Covid-19, but in addition also produced antibodies against HIV. Unsurprisingly, their were concerns that people would not have confidence in a vaccine that meant they would test positive for HIV.
Interesting. I never thought a vaccine would be particularly rough on the body.
It usually isn't severe, but since it's meant to stimulate your immune response, it causes a slight inflammatory reaction, which is stronger in some people. Young children especially will sometimes run a mild fever after vaccinations, some stuff only creates a mild bump at the injection site, and some people feel slightly ill after a flu shot, for example.

So political interference in health is still ongoing in the US.
Obviously, the terrible response to coronavirus in the US has been directly due to politicizing the virus by the administration through such things as railing against mask mandates, lockdowns, or direct payments to citizens to allow people to remain safe and demanding that things be open without appropriate safety measures.
And back to the science - An interesting study into the genetic reasons some people have a severe reaction to the virus. The study is still ongoing and more research is needed. Nevertheless looks promising.
... I don't know how effective it's going to be. It's humorful and all and got me sharing it which is its point, yet it is something we as a society should take seriously, however being too serious can cause a bit of a backlash. I don't know how effective it'll be.
So political interference in health is still ongoing in the US.
Maybe the administration got tipped off that they were going to lose the election case at the supreme Court and were desperate to have another narrative in the news and that explains the threats.
At any rate, the FDA did just do what was demanded and they approved the Pfizer vaccine for emergency use.
On a less scientific note, I think of a vaccine as something that gives you a mild case of whatever it is that it's aimed at protecting you from. Therefore I would expect to feel a bit 'shot' after any vaccine.
When I went to work in Africa for six months (which turned into 20 years) I had to have a fistful of vaccines that made my arm swell up like a balloon and laid me up in bed for a day.
So, while my uncle is going to pull through, my great aunt is now on a ventilator, and the overwhelmingly odds are that she isn't coming off it alive. Yes, she is 91 years old. Yes, it's a given that someone at that age has relatively little time left in the grand scheme of things. But she was perfectly fine (considering her age) 10 days ago. And I don't think I'll ever get over how we basically decided to kill off a significant portion of the remaining World War II generation so we could go have the sampler platter at Applebee's and not wear a mask. It's beyond shameful, it's unforgivable.

Subtle way of influencing anti-maskers? I guarantee you that those types are very concerned about how 'Little Johnny' is performing... ?

Not all vaccines are the same. The anthrax vaccine hurts like hell.

Additionally, the CDC was directed to delete evidence of Trump political appointees demanding the numbers be fudged.
