    I would take it. Compared to past experience I expect it would be relatively safe. I speak as someone who watches the tainted blood inquiry intently. I am also in a unique position having had gene therapy which went dramatically awry. So it’s quite funny to contemplate a vaccine and worries about it. Seems to me the benefits far outweigh the risks. It’s well researched, the numbers involved are huge and the technology, if not the precise disease, seems fairly well established, though of course some of the vaccines use very new technologies. When you are inoculating otherwise well people I think standards of care are higher than if you are dealing with the sick or disabled people who may well feel the potential, if risky benefits far outweigh the risks.
