I would not take a virus vaccine for the same reason I would not take the flu vaccine. I am not worried about catching it. If I do, I might feel under the weather a bit and then get over it.
Shingles vaccine? Different story. Happy to take that vaccine. Don't want to come down with the shingles.

Shingles, as you know, is caused by the dormant chicken pox virus that most of our older population had as kids. Therefore we are susceptible to shingles. I know people that have committed suicide because they could not stand the pain of shingles. We also know that youngsters that get the chicken pox vaccine (a live virus vaccine) have a much lower chance of ever getting shingles.
The older vaccine for shingles prevention was a live virus vaccine (Varivax), I got it years ago. The new vaccine for shingles, Shingrex is not a live vaccine. Wife just got the first injection. If you have even the slightest doubts about shingles prevention stop doubting and get vaccinated. If you had chicken pox the virus is still in you and there is a 33% chance you will at some time get shingles.

She's not exactly right about the immortal cell lines being cancer. They're called immortal cell lines because they were finagled into legal ownership before there were effective legal challenges to that. The cell lines are preserved by careful perpetuation, keeping them in an environment that keeps them as undifferentiated stem cells.
That's not to say that there should be no concerns about these subjects (immortal fetal stem cell lines, cancer, recombinant DNA "vaccines", etc). Just that I'm pretty sure that saying that they're injecting people with cancer cells in these vaccines will get you looked at like you're a crazy person by the people who know about the topics.

Nope, nada, never, etc
I'd like to be absolute in my response, "no!"... However, I fear my employer might attempt to force me to get the vaccine in order to travel to our headquarters in Canada.
I pray this won't be the case, but they are a private company and I'm the sole provider in my household. Note, my projected retirement date is 2037... arrrgh!

I'm not taking shit that hasn't been thoroughly and properly tested. That takes years, not months.

Then they have to figure out how long the vaccine actually protects you...you may need boosters down the road. Of course if the virus starts mutating,then it gets the flu treatment and new strains/vaccines every year.

No interest here. Pretty sure I had that virus in January. I had all of the symptoms and woke up 2-3 times so cold that my teeth were chattering like castanets! It took a long time to get over it. No fear at 74, here! More afraid of the vaccine than the virus!

You guys do understand they do this every year with the flu shot right? It's not really new.

Different type of virus, and the Pfizer vaccine everyone is talking about is completely different from flu vaccines.
