It's literal science fiction level technology, as a species we should be in awe of such a medical development, being used in a real world scenario in such a successful manner.
From what I hear of people who are actually working on the COVID unit @ VGH, there's mixed feelings on getting the vaccine first. Most seem to sound like they want to see how it plays out before having it administered on them, which I think makes sense.
I just find it ironic that the people who are so against a vaccine are the same that will happily stuff whatever garbage food into their mouths, while partaking in various other ancillary bad habits which also adversely affect their overall health, yet a vaccine takes paramount of the ultimate danger in their worldview.
It's very odd.

Nobody here (afaik) is
against the vaccine. We just think there's more to learn about it. I'm not even against rushing into it for the segments of the population that are at high risk.
Like you say, it's basically science fiction stuff. That itself should tell you something!
