A couple more tips if you want to try to get in a vaccine trial. Be sure to try and call them since it seems like are pretty busy. On the phone they can tell you if there’s a site near you, and also schedule for your first appointment. When you complete the online form for the J&J vaccine study, if you qualify, it will show locations and say they will call you to schedule your first appointment, but call them anyway to get in faster.
If you search Google news will also find press releases on new trial sites that are opening.

Worked well for the swine flu.
I'm not against vaccines. I counted some months ago and I have taken around 16 different vaccines. But it is kind of interesting how completely ridiculous the discussion around vaccines is when it comes to Covid. How many voices in the media are allowed to speak about potential risks? Or another example - if the vaccine only helps you getting less sick - why does it matter if others are taking them or not? If you can still transmit the virus after being vaccinated then why this "campaign" to get people vaccinated? The conversation is just not there. Why? And how, unless you believe vaccines should be mandatory for everyone, isn't this criticised even among those that are positive to the vaccines?
I might very well take a vaccine against Covid-19. For me vaccines is about cost/benefit. So I will make my evaluation when the time comes. But this push to get the herd vaccinated is actually quite shocking.
We still got court cases going on in Norway after the swine flu vaccination programme. Just among kids we got far more kids getting narcolepsy after having taken the vaccine than people dying in Norway in total from the disease. in hindsight it is rather obvious that children should not have been given that vaccine. Society should be brave enough to have that conversation. If you are afraid of that conversation because many will then opt out - then you have already lost (funnily enough most people are perfectly fine with restricting others - as long as it doesn't influence their "freedom" - so restricting that conversation seems reasonable for most people who are "pro-vaccine" - which is sad).

The number of previously young and healthy Covid patients with long term health effects scares the $&@# out of me. So glad to have an opportunity to get the vaccine!

Hi Bille, glad to hear you survived it, but then you survive everything!
We lost a friend last weekend. He and his wife flew over
Thanksgiving and they both got infected.
