What happens to people once they are approved for a vaccine and they go? I have seen people leaning on buildings in line. Yet we're told you must make an appointment. So why are people in line for hours when the vac is at an appointed time? Don't they watch all patients for at least 15 minutes to make sure they're okay? Also, how likely are you to contract the illness just walking through all those spaces where someone else just stood? Not all masks are equal. Is a test needed before the vaccine is administered? What happens once you get to the chair for your vaccine?

But there is no long term evidence on the fertility or the potential side affects passed on to a child in the future. This is scary stuff.
