New guidance published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that some Americans may get first access to a COVID-19 vaccine once one becomes available to the public. Among those first in line could be commercial truck drivers.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is made up of medical and public health experts who make recommendations to the CDC on how and when vaccines should be used. In normal times, the 15 members who sit on the committee meet only three times a year. Since the COVID-19 pandemic however, ACIP has been meeting – virtually – about once a week.
The meetings are all open to the public via webcast. People can even submit a request to make a public comment. You can register for the next ACIP meeting on their website.
Current ACIP thinking is that the COVID-19 vaccine should be distributed to certain populations first. Those groups are healthcare personnel, workers who are part of America’s critical infrastructure, people with certain underlying medical conditions which make them more at risk for severe COVID-19 illness, and the elderly.
Who is and is not considered an ‘essential worker’ is determined by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency. Commercial truck drivers are considered to be a critical part of America’s infrastructure.
According to a press release from ACIP, the committee will wait until the FDA approves a COVID-19 vaccine and then “quickly hold a public meeting to review all available data about that vaccine.” Using that data, they will then create recommendations to pass to the CDC for which groups of people should have priority.
Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines say that their vaccines have been shown to have close to 95% efficacy. A third vaccine from AstraZeneca is said to be between 70% and 90% effective depending on dosage.

Heath says
The flu epidemic from overseas that involves imports to the United states from areas in Asia and Europe is focus? The food and drink products are handled by persons with another environment and vaccine process requirements. Our military service overseas also come home with another illness not adapted by the USA environment. Overseas environment are adverse to the USA on imports and services of military personnel. This involves the commercial truck drivers and the consumers, truck drivers consume food and drinks as well. Limited import should occur to prevent this disease from spreading? There tolerance and adaption overseas is not the same as ours due to a different climate and environment. 1958 and 1968 flu came from overseas and it continues, vaccine should be given to places that import to USA? Thank you, Sincerely Heath Puckett of San Bernadino ca USA
Baker says
Partially correct in that importers of food and beverage should be banned until this pandemic is under control. USA needs to be prioritized for vaccinations 1st due to our high level of infection and death. Only makes sense since we have been hit the hardest. Other countries can be placed in a lottery system or prioritized based on their levels of infection and abilty to slow their own spreads.
deaconblues62 says
Don’t forget about the FOREIGN DRIVERS, will they Line up with us the way we treat them?
Rebecca lingtr says
Not taking this vacancies toll it is proven. The side affects alone scale me. Why would they put people thru this pain.
deaconblues62 says
To make $500 Trillion Dollars.
Mojo says
Don’t drink the kool aid brothers, it’s a trap!!!
william coleman says
Let me get this straight, this announcement in this format is dangerous. There’s already a shortage in drivers now. If this vaccine has the side effects they say, most of the country will be affected in a major way. They will not receive deliveries expected due to drivers becoming sick cuz of the so called cure.
What i don’t get is this drug about to be forced on a majority of American life hasn’t been tested in normal CDC fashion. It would normally take seven yrs to get approved. Trials and tests over this time should give the public a better outlook on what will work. But the fear that has been spread is sad and dangerous. And this should be called out and put a stop to.
I’m just a normal American, i hv a job a family bills like all on here. I will not be forced to accept what this or anyone is saying about taking something that hasn’t had its proper time to be tested to find out what may happen to a person overtime. So i say no keep what u hv I’m ok. Thanks for reading and plz stay safe. Wear a face covering
Mark Wagnor says
Somebody’s got to be guinea pigs huh??? Give it to the truck drivers they’re like it!!! Oh wait are we now on the front line cuz it sures hell doesn’t feel that way when people look at me drive the way they do around me and speak to me and treat me the way they do. We the truck driver was not added into that thanks to all the Frontline worker ads warehouse people are, the doctors the nurses the police fire department City officials State officials even the mail people but you don’t hear the truck driver there!!! So I’m sure we’re all going to be first in line to get it like we were the mask I didn’t get a mask until June!!! This country has turned into a joke we the truck driver need to go on strike and stay off for 2 weeks make this country know what pain really is!!!! Then let’s see if they can spell respect!!! supposed to be a strike starting on the 29th of this month let’s see how many of you actually will stay off
Clyde Barrow says
I agree whole heartedly. No respect no recognition. But they will be more than happy to stuff the crap down our throats. thanks but no thanks.
MrYowler says
If a strike were to have any chance of being effective (and this is the first I’m hearing about one planned for the 29th), it might have been wise to set it for a time *before* Black Friday, when it might have actually had an impact on holiday shopping.
And no, don’t expect people to stay off work for a strike they never heard of, at a time when they probably wanted to be home with their families, anyway.
“If you go to work, you hate Jesus.” Chain-letter guilt tactics don’t give you moral superiority for the inevitable failure of a strike you knew didn’t have a chance in the first place.
Mark Wagnor says
You know someday maybe the steering wheel holders of America will open their damn ears and eyes, I can only dream I’ve been out here 44 years my dad went though the first strike Lost his business the government only gave them a SMALL piece of what they wanted one of these times the American truck drivers might hear about strikes and actually join in with all the internet electronics we have with drivers running down the highway playing with their phone to and not having a citizen band radio I don’t know how anybody couldnt have heard but I agree with you that’s the problem everybody’s got closed ears closed eyes see no evil hear no evil speak no evil and everybody always wants to take time off during a damn holiday I was speaking of two weeks right in the middle of the heart of something like now the pandemic they hurt for food and merchandise now imagine if we take off right now there’s a thought, food for thought. But unfortunately it’s only a dream today steering wheel holder couldn’t wipe there butt right if they didn’t have an instruction pamphlet on their cell phone with them
rushfan242@gmail.com says
Age and experience won’t give you dignity automatically. There was a day for all CDL holders , when they were green horns, including YOU!
Lou says
Give it to the azzhole politicians first. If it works for them, then take it. Maybe!
Grim Reaper says
Whaaaa whaaaaa
Bob says
Exactly. Time to shut em down. It has an rfid chip in the vaccine. The new 5G network can track your location. The next step is a cashless society.
Scales says
Personally i dont think essential workers should be among the 1st to “try” the drug….What if it has some bad side effects not recorded,then the front lines are already buvgered up….Who drives the trucks,adminsters the drugs,catch the criminals ect…I think it should be given to the average joe 1st as a seperate trial than that of the manufactures..
Ill not be taken a chance on it cause cancer has beaten this corona drug to the punch on killen me…
Im being careful an all and made it this far,im happy to keep doin as im doin..
Jerry Hamm says
This is just a puff piece, at best. I will not take any medicine, vaccine, or guidance from a private/ federally funded entity. I’ve said it once, and I’m going to keep saying it. I’ll reconsider my stance, when all of government lines up, and takes the first hits, I’ll give a 3% death rate, from the vaccine even. Otherwise, I’ll take a bullet first. You can have the truck, take my CDL, refuse me services, or just kick my door in at 3am, like the swat boys like to do. My line was crossed, back in January, and I can’t for the life of me get how so many are falling for this. Go on, see where it leads you all, I’m done.
Joe says
Pfizer didn’t take any government money
christopher aaron bianchi says
Shove those vaccines where the sun dont shine, I’ve not met one driver dumb enough to take it, we refuse.
John says
Any particular reason?
B909 says
Because many truck drivers are ignorant of science, and prefer to listen to talk radio tin foil hat type guidance.
Mark Wagnor says
How about more pay less government involvement better broker fees a complete federal law that matches the state laws and each state matches the federal laws about truck driving rules how about health insurance for the trucking industry like big business health insurance some of these would be a start but like I said in my statement Don’t wake me up it’s a pretty dream.
Lee says
Amen!!
Jim Davis says
I said we give the vaccine to the Congress and senators first that way if it’s not safe well at least America will be safe
Keith says
Any favorable view of vaccines indicates ignorance or malice, because vaccines are toxic.
John says
Well they have prevented 100’s of millions of deaths and life illnesses over the years Keith. That Covid is no fun. I don’t think you want it every year Bud.
J Ossowski says
John, in order to intelligently claim a vaccine “prevented” anything, one must accept the premise that everyone is destined to contract a given disease, something that has been proven FALSE over and over since the dawn of life. “Everyone” did not contract smallpox, scarlet fever, or any of the plagues of Europe.
Joe says
You opinion is absolutely absurd. All you have to do is look at infection rates pre vaccination and then post vaccination to see how well it worked
I am embarrassed for you because you actually think you’re espousing intellect. Willing to bet you parroted a nutjob conspiracy talk show host
Seriously, your presupposition is child like
MikemarcDave says
John chill out
Joe says
I’m willing to bet vaccines are in your body
Ding says
I’m not wearing their Dam masks and I sure as hell ain’t being their dam Guinea PIG…Not been sick…
David says
I have not had the flu since the late 80s. I’m 51. Oh yeah, I have not had the so called flu shot since the late 80s!! I’ve never had anything worse than a cold. I will not be taking the this “vaccine”. It’s all propaganda people. We don’t even have a coronavirus pandemic….we have a POLITICAL pandemic!! Too many useful idiots in this country and around the world. All dictators NEED their useful idiots. Stop drinking the look-aid.
John says
You haven’t been sick but I have. Thanks for caring for others Ding.
James says
John what’s your point? Ding NEVER said he didn’t care. I don’t and I’m not wearing a mask, if you’re scared stay in and don’t go out. I’m careful but I will continue to live and enjoy my life. YOU are responsible for you good health and me for mine so stop the blame others game.
If 6ft works then why a mask?
If a mask works then why 6ft?
If they both work then why did we kill small businesses and shut down our economy?
I’ll wait
Alex says
Everybody gets sick. But what was known as the COMMON COLD, isn’t so common anymore. 🙄. I also won’t use mask. Your using yours so your very well protected right?
David says
Take care of yourself man.
MikemarcDave says
John stop suppressing people’s opinions
MrYowler says
Meh. Vaccines don’t work once you’re sick. After you get sick, feel free to revisit the wisdom of getting vaccinated. It’ll make a nice epitaph.
David says
I have not had the flu since the late 80s. I’m 51. Oh yeah, I have not had the so called flu shot since the late 80s!! I’ve never had anything worse than a cold.

Coyote says
Y’all go first! When we are forced to take it or lose our job you bet I’m out of there!
John says
Why would you be forced to take it Coyote? The people that take the shot avoid the virus for the rest of their lives. They could care less what you do. More shots for everyone else that likes their lives over conspiracy theories.
Grackle says
There is talk that we might get strong armed into the “vaccine”. The hastily researched, shadily tested “vaccine”. They have been passing the buck on who will get the honors of going first for a while now with the poor black communities and third world nations being first on the list. Looks like the dial landed on us. So, you wanna take it? Please, go ahead. We need research rats.
Jay says
Not true. It will most likely be a yearly thing like the flu shot. Long term immunity isn’t even happening with the wild virus, which means a vaccine won’t last long term.
Coyote says
Like I said John, you go first. And oh! It won’t be forced on you. You just won’t be able to work or get out of the house to go shopping or doing anything if you don’t take it LOL. You should have seen what’s going on here a long time ago. Things aren’t adding up John. This is a government takeover. One World Government. I don’t understand why some people don’t see the obvious right in front of their face
Jennifer Dunn says
Hi Coyote, you are absolutely right. My Husband is a Truckdriver and we reject the Vaccine including the Government takeover….Keep speaking the Truth no matter what
Mark Wagnor says
Yeah let’s talk about conspiracy theories all these dead people from covid-19 where are they buried I want to see the bodies all these hospitals that are full how come I see nurses and doctors walking up and down the hallways with nothing to do how come the media doesn’t show us pictures of all the grave sites like they do when they have earthquakes hurricanes tornadoes mass destruction war how come the media doesn’t interview people who have had covid-19 and got rid of it I’m not talking about state city county Representatives or federal Representatives doctors or nurses I’m talking about regular people how come all of us truck drivers out here aren’t sick with this supposed covid-19 virus or right in the middle of the heart of it. there’s some really good questions for you conspiracy theory how come all the riot and protesters didn’t make everybody sick two weeks after they did it but Trump has a rally and the whole world gets it go figure there’s some more conspiracy theories. Why is it people who have mask on get this disease and people who don’t have masks don’t get the disease go figure I want to see the bodies I’ll believe it when I see the bodies… I no longer believe our government I no longer believed the media I want proof this is a complete setup to keep people at home the first stage of socialism put the fear of God in the enemy then take all the worthy values away from them their jobs their money gold diamonds and take their guns it’s happening they’ve already taken our first amendment right to speech they’ve taken our Fourth amendment right to move and now they’re coming for our second amendment wake up people I can’t be the only one seeing this.
J Ossowski says
John, how do you know how long the benefits, assuming there are any, will last? The vaccine isn’t even 6 months old! Are you planning on a short life?
Craig says
John – Its an every year shot NOT a one and done. I haul out of big Pharma and not have not met one of their employees that want to be first in line. It is being developed like a flu shot, not like a smallpox vaccine
Jake says
No thanks. I’ll skip the vaccine.
John says
Hope you are healthy Jake. If not I’m sure you are going to make some medical staff’s week watching you die slowly and not be able to do anything about it. I heard they love that. It’s like you saying your going to stay accident free your whole career and then rolling your truck every week. Doctors take death very personal. Wreaks havoc on their confidence.
RJ says
John you are the first obviously educated and informed trucker I have ever read on here. Good to know others actually exist. Don’t take it then guys. Ironically a few less morons is just what America needs to be great again. Bye hillbillies!!!
kc says
So when they list cause of death is covid related and it is not because they get an extra 20% bump in pay. Tell me again how that wreaks havoc on their confidence? There is no information on the side effects of these vaccines until then enjoy!
LadyDriva says
🤦🏾♀️Plenty of Doctors have stated that they get NO EXTRA MONEY & TAKE NO PLEASURE IN WATCHING FOLKS DIE!!!
Jim says
We don’t know if these vaccines will provide perpetual immunity. This virus was likely engineered, and has DNA similarities to the HIV virus that could suppress any long term ability that we have to maintain a normal antibody load. If you’re at risk of dying from COVID… protect yourself. Don’t imply that I have any responsibility to you, because I don’t. YOU stay home. YOU get your stuff delivered. YOU wear a bubble suit. Medical professionals: If you cant handle the downside of your chosen career, learn to code. I’m living my life as normal.
James says
Agree 100% 👍
Normal person says
These comments. You people are the reason I am so glad this is my final year. I am so tired of working with the most ignorant, immature, outlandishly stupid trash among trash. You people are the reason every other country is laughing at the USA. You people suffer strongly of the Dunning Krueger effect. Don’t take the vaccine and wipe yourselves out. You’re doing the rest of humanity a favor.
Joe says
I literally sit here in awe at these comments. The level of stupidity among this trash is staggering.
I agree with you 100% and it’s pointless trying to reason with fools because you end up becoming a fool yourself
Marvin Rose says
So this vaccine has parts of unborn children, possibly has an electronic marker to track you. The beginnings of the mark of the beast. You all do what you want, but as for me and my house we shall serve the Lord.
Jodi Roste says
Omg! It will save your life! Don’t be stupid!!!
Jim says
That could be true, but it’s HIS life. Don’t be a health terrorist.
kc says
exactly
J Ossowski says
It will only “save your life” if you are predestined to get the disease in the firast place. There is NO way to tell if something like this is “prevented” since we don’t know who is destined for infection. I’ll take my cjances with the 99%+ who will survive.
Lee says
Amen Marvin!!
Jennifer Dunn says
Amen Marvin Rose! You said it perfectly
Joe says
You already have an electronic marker, your cellphone and children are in the vaccine
Oy vey
Charles Sanders says
They’ll be no vaccine going into my body,I’m supposed to have confidence in these lairs,and out right con men,put some thing into my body that usually take years to manufacture to be safe that they’ve rushed into existence in 8 r 9 months
NO THANKS
Kanet says
Trucks are not your test subject and will never be… take this as a very serious warning…. mess with truckers and this country will see truckers go on spike for months.. just to send a clear msg out that truckers moves America and therefore we aren’t guinea pigs….
Will says
I’m not takeing it, now or in the future!!👍
Brian Chapman says
99.6 survival rate. Yes the rate of infection is climbing, but what the media doesn’t mention is that the death rate is going down from an already incredibly small percent.
Herd immunity for me…..
No thanks
Joe says
Record covid deaths yesterday, over 3k…..want to rephrase your comment?
kc says
Let’s just get to the absolute TRUTH here. I have not met one doctor that can save a life. Truth is that all they do is maybe delay the death process. Everything has a date stamp absolute TRUTH. Once I accepted that fact that I will die in God’s time and choosing my life is more joyful, because all fear is gone. Everyone has a freedom of choice. FREEDOM IS ESSTENTIAL IN MY LIFE. So whatever others choose that’s their choice!
Lee says
I agree!!
Jim says
Word.
James says
Amen!!! Good words KC
MrYowler says
The absolute truth is that not one word in the Bible was written by God or Jesus. Lots of them are attributed to God and Jesus, but every single one was written by imperfect and often deceptive or imperceptive, fallible, men.
The same kind of men that are trying to help you to live better and longer with a vaccine to protect you from pestilence. God helps those who help themselves. Not just the greedy politicians, but also the blue-collar backbone of America. God will not rain mana from heaven because you prayed; that’s why we all work for a living. God similarly expects you to take reasonable precautions in the face of pestilence. It’s your health, and your choice – but please try to choose wisely.
Is it more reasonable to think that some huge medical/government conspiracy is out to get you, or that medical professionals are doing the same jobs that they have done since they were kids playing with stethoscopes – trying to help keep people healthy? Who goes to work each day, trying to think up new ways to screw the other guy over? How big can that conspiracy be, and how secret can they possibly keep it, with that kind of moral compass to guide them?
Rick Hodad says
Vaccines are toxic, just like:
The Earth is flat.
The moon landings were faked.
The world is controlled by:
The Illuminati.
The NWO.
A group of shape shifting reptiles.
Satanic pedophiles.
Elvis is alive.
The CIA created AIDS.
Chemtrails are a mind control experiment .
Sandy Hook was a hoax,
JFK was killed by everyone except LHO.
Trutherism – 9/11 was an inside job.
False flags are everywhere.
Truck drivers aren’t respected:
Wonder why.
MrYowler says
If people have to name themselves as truth-tellers, they probably aren’t. If they were, that would be obvious enough without them having to say so. Credibility is earned, not purchased.
Jay says
Vaccines are toxic, whether you choose to believe that or not doesn’t make it any less true. The do carry the risk of death or injury. Search vaccine excipients and educate yourself.
JUAN LOPEZ says
Rick Hodad
How can truck drivers be respected when we sometimes don’t respect one another
A.Jones says
Elvis ain’t dead, he just went home.
Joe says
You forgot holocaust never occured,moon landing was a hollywood con job,pizzagate,rigged election
JT says
Sorry John but where did U read that taking the Vaccine, will save U from Covid for Life.
No one is making that absurd assumption , your watching too many Fauci movies
Jacinto Perez says
I do not take this Illness as a Political Issue, this is life or Death
I’ll get the vaccine, If It is offered to me.
The reason ?
The chance to be Covid 19 free the rest of my life
I’ll do it
Disregarding what other people think
I welcome any oportunity to be healty and protect myself, society and my love ones
If you dont want to take it….as you say around…Your body …Your choice
Joe says
Thank god you are one of the few,insightful drivers
Ever wonder about the no vaccine group and their diet,hygiene,how many meds they are already on?
Mike says
The minimum wage in my state was raised to $15/hr after this most recent election. I have no doubt that my company will cave to any requirements to get this vaccine. I will quit trucking and find some minimum wage job before I take this vaccine. I will give my full measure to refuse this vaccine. If you fail to see that the virus panic has alterior motives contrary to the values enshrined in the Constitution and serve the globalist financial agenda then you are a fool and not my countrymen. May the chains of your bondage rest gently upon your wrists.
MrYowler says
May you rest in peace in the urn that your $15/hour minimum-wage job will perhaps afford you. May your Constitutional values offer you comfort in death.
You know, if you bothered to try to stay alive, you might get a chance to defend those values – but dead, they may as well have died with you.
Having a right offers you the option to exercise it – not the responsibility to do so. You have the right to refuse the vaccine. You also have the right to accept it. Try to remember that both options are Constitutionally valid.
Thomas says
They told me the grass is greener on the other side
Emilko Smetenikov says
Once Vaccine come up it will be mandatory for us. Otherwise you will not get any trip out. And you will have to carry prof you got vaccinated
Joe says
Just like you need to carry proof you have a cdl
J Ossowski says
So long as the federal bureaucrats remember that NOTHING in the Constitution grants the federal government ANY authority to meddle and interfere in ANY kind of health care, including mandating a “vaccination” for a disease with a less than 1% fatality rate, we’ll get along just fine.
Joe says
You dont seem to grasp the enormity of a .5% fatality rate in a country with 330 million and that’s before healthcare is rationed
Allen says
The governor in Maryland is now saying you do not have a Constitutional right to not wear a mask. Having a right to accept the vaccine is one thing, but if they decide you don’t have that Constitutional right, which seems to be the direction we’re going, it may be that taking a $15/hour job is HOW to stay alive and “defend those values.”
DanR says
Tempting thought
CJ says
Cold day in hell.
Solo1nme says
Off to the comment section, let’s see what the experts have to say!
John says
No one can possibly know what the side effects of this vaccine may have 5 years down the road. No vaccine for a deadly Or crippling virus/disease has ever been developed in less then 5 years. When your body is not exposed to germs it weakens the immune system so keep wearing your masks and over washing your hands and whatever you do don’t touch your face do exactly what the scientists/doctors are telling you so you can weaken YOUR immune system. In the 1880’s cocaine was used to get people off morphine. Also in the 1880’s cocaine was being used in people’s eyes to numb them for eye surgery. So take the vaccine if you want but don’t be suing people over the side effects.
Raymond Monteiro says
Mr Yowler,
Dehhh!.
The act of refusing the vaccine, …..( not just this one, all of them, see Dr Tenpenny’s site regarding the reality of vaccines)…
…IS FIGHTING THE
One World Atheistic Takeover.
Live Free Or Die,
Ray
R.J. says
President Gerald Ford was warned of MILLIONS of deaths from the Swine Flu (Also a Covid Virus) in the autumn of 1976… A vaccine was rushed into use.
As a member of the military, I was ordered to recieve the vaccine… and within 10 hours was flat on my back in the hospital…and nearly died.
I am 50 years older now, and have no intention of giving the government a second chance at killing me with another rapidly developed vaccine.
R.J. says
President Gerald Ford was warned of MILLIONS of deaths from the Swine Flu, (Also a Covid Virus) in the autumn of 1976.
A vaccine was rushed into production and administered to the military…I was ordered to get it and so did… finishing that day in the hospital, and almost dying.
I have no intention, 44 years later, of giving the government another chance to kill me. This is not the Black Plague… of those that actually “get” it…only 1% or less, actually die from this “bug”.
DanR says
I hope the tech is better now, but I have no faith in the politicians.
J Ossowski says
Agreed. I got to know someone in the clinic when I was in the Air Force so I could get them to just mark the card saying I had the shot. I never got “the flu”, either.
DanR says
Who in the hell plans a strike for a Sunday? You’re supposed to do that when people will notice.
In 38 years of driving, more or less, I have seen a lot, heard a lot and often been left wondering about the intelligence level of my fellow driver. Some just leave me shaking my head, some give me a new point of view to consider. Either way, I try to learn. Every so often I say or do something that make me wonder about myself, but that’s life.
I don’t think companies will require vaccines until they have to, as there would be too much liability for them. However, the politicians will probably talk them into it anyway.
Regarding the Wuhan flu, we are not being informed properly. We are told a lot to have us think the way they want us to, but not what we need for a proper assessment. It is more contagious, so will have higher numbers attached to it, but lethality appears to be minor. 99.6 survival rate is not something to panicked about.
So like many things, I will wait and see how things develop, then make my decisions.
Bamanator says
I’m eyeing the Astra Zen. It uses a real virus from a monkey. Not rMRA. But I passed on the trials. They kept calling me. I said, I believe I’ve already had it? So I’m immune. They said it doesn’t matter and they don’t test for antibodies???? How do they know if they work?? Sounds fishy to me.
Romey . AKA Come at me, bro. says
your guys… grumble you are being prioritized to get the vaccine. Ok then don’t take it. then you will grumble that you don’t feel respected since you weren’t top of the list. Damn.
I support it being mandatory for kids in schools and employers.
Billy jones says
I’ve done just fine without it so i don’t need it.
jim terry says
This is not 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic. There never was an epidemic in 2019 0r 2020. Covid19 was a bust, a lie built by the eugenicist’s like Bill Gates. I personally will not take any vaccines and I agree with R. J. we had to take vaccines in the military for many reasons on of which was world wide deployment capabilities. I am not involved with the military or U.S. govt and have no intentions of taking any vaccines.
The human body never needs ingredients such: aluminum, mercury, recombinant human albumin, new abortions are performed for the purpose, but cells that are derived, ultimately, from abortions are still a key ingredient.
TruckerMel says
It dont hurt to wear a mask for a few minutes to get in and out.. stop acting like babies. That fictional number of 200k+ people must be fake then. If the governments did it on purpose whether then those numbers aren’t enough so the vaccines are the other way to kill the rest of the people they missed then i guess. You are nobody. Live with it. If they want you gone..you gone.. wear a mask or don’t wear a mask, take the meds or don’t. I feel everybody has the choice to pick which way they want to go but no respect is given to one another.
If i wear a mask and you don’t..as far as *I* am concerned we good.. theres one not too effective barrier between us.. When the store is filled with 99 people w masks and 1 without… leave them alone and let them go on about their business stop acting dumb.
Like a video i saw guy just following a lady around the store with his phone cuz she not wearing a mask. If she not wearing the mask then she probably just contaminated from everything everywhere but you PURPOSELY following her.. dumb
No mask, no truckers, no aids, no cancer or no murders you gonna die anyway so make your own choice which way makes u happy to go and respect each others way of going.
If you want to wear or not wear the mask, take or not take the vaccine, eat a greasy hamburger 5 times a day every day.. smoke 10 packs or cigarettes a day or just jump off a bridge its YOUR choice…
Just stop stop trying to push YOUR choices on someone else.
Romey . AKA Come at me, bro. says
actually… i support all you anti-vaxxers, no maskers. Please keep it up. Show the Libs by licking doorknobs and not using condoms too. That will own those darn progressives.
Go cough on babies too. Then slowly, but surely, pass away and let those who actually care about the country take over.
J Ossowski says
If the shots are given out according to how important a person is, I would suggest that members of Congress would do well to stay in their seats and wait to be last in line. I personally will not be getting the shot. I don’t trust our government

I was just getting ready to start truck driving school. Sounds like I may rethink that decision if they’re going to use truck drivers as guinea pigs. I’d rather be stuck with a job I don’t like that be one of Bill Gates’ test subjects.
Jd says
What about the mechanics that work on the damn trucks?? Essential or non?

Once vaccine is available it will be mandatory for us. If you don’t take vaccine, your Dispatch will not dispatch you out and you will be out of work until you get vaccine shot and it is good for three months only. Than you will have to go for another shot. Further more.. you will have to carry a proof with you all of the time you got vaccine and the date of your last vaccinations is not expired (three months). So 4 times per year. I am 67 now and I am going out off the road because I don’t want to be Guinea Pig and let them to test vaccine on my self. I am off
Terry Staggs says
Simple for me, if Anthony Fauci (spelling?) is on board with the vaccine. I’m in.
I don’t think it is wise to listen to a hairdresser about how to fix a car. In the same principle, I’m going to listen to the folks, like Fauci, for knowledge and advice. He doesn’t have a political agenda. He has a scientific agenda. All those baysayers are getting and believing crap from folks who don’t have a clue about infectious diseases, but DO have a political agenda behind all their malarkey.

Don’t believe everything msm tells you, guys. Do your own research on vaccines from the late 80s and the correlation to enormous spikes in conditions such as autism and certain std’s. Call it a coincidence if you like but its an impossible coincidence almost. Research Bill gates and the countries in Africa he used for vaccine trials that went horribly wrong in some cases making women infertile. He wants less people on earth. Research faucis ties to this ideology. Alternate media is all over this. Whos really the conspiracy theorist in the grand scheme of things? Whos the guinea pigs? Whos the puppetmasters? Get out of the dark guys. Question reality.

Facts
A.Jones says
autism, add, ocd and the like have always existed. They only became an issue in the 80’s because of the shift of thought of “what will be will be” to “everything has to have an answer”.
Scientists were more than happy to provide that answer even if it was the wrong way to reply(big pharma). Even to this day there are known issues with medications used to treat this things the big three are irreversible metabolism changes, breast development, and unpredictable bone development. at least your child won’t be kicking and screaming and misplacing there toys.

Reading these comments just shows how uneducated and cult following truck drivers are. It’s an embarrassment and why I don’t tell anyone what I do for a living.
Joe says
I used to take pride in being a trucker now I just do my job and say I work for the state when asked what I do.
Chris Stewart says
I made it to 64yrs. old last spring without polio, smallpox, and tetanus because of vaccinations. Still update the tetanus shot every few years. I get the flu shot every year but still get a cold.
Vaccinations are good, look at the shots kids get before they are allowed in school. I don’t think they even get mumps and measles we used to get.
Nuff’ said.
Experienced Trucker says
Amazing my family was IN WUHAN < where it allegedly started, Bejiing & Shanghai last Nov. 2019 for 2 wks & none of us, or the people in the group got sick, yet every Republican in the country as well as millions of others has allegedly got it 😂. The ingredients in the vaccine is the same as the yearly FLU vaccine. You know why? Because it's the CORONAVIRUS < aka the FLU, only a stronger strain. And how MANY politicians in ALL parties have STOCK in Pfizer & (all these mask companies) that have popped up. CLOROX wipes & plenty of OJ just like B4 road dawgs.
Joe says
You obviously dont understand why its called corona and you really do not know how covid vaccine was created
C. Smith says
Good grief, truckers are worst conspiracy theorist out there. The Constitution was a starting point. At the time it was signed the signers had NO CLUE what the world would be like in 200 years. So you add to the foundation of the Constitution. As for you ” Good God fearing Christians ” that are all for yourself and letting your neighbors die, I say good riddance to you and your God can figure out what to do with you. Your a hypocrite plain and simple. Let’s forget about the Crusades, the attack on indigenous persons as you settled new territory, oh and all the pedophile priest over the 1000s of years of hypocrisy.
Matthew Eitzman says
If Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies are exempt from civil litigation and criminal charges related to any adverse affects, then I would probably not ‘volunteer’ to receive a vaccine.
Grim Reaper says
Man O Man!!! Some of y’all are definitely section 8 when it come to vaccination. When I was in school, we received vaccinations for polio, rubella and other virus’. Personally, I believe that frontline workers and CHILDREN should get it 1st. I’m retired & elderly, and don’t mind waiting. I will take it though. KOOL AID in aisle 13
Giggles says
No shot for me, I will refuse.
Michael says
Truck drivers get no respect. I have been denied unemployment benefits after having a mild heart attack while I was in Michigan. I applied for benefits in September and was denied because I was unavailable to work ? What a joke..they actually put the date I was admitted to the hospital as a reason for being denied. Of course I was not available for work if I was in the hospital..
CAL says
Nope, if they try this, there should be a strike, if not, i will quit and go work elsewhere. Let the politicians and scientists take it.
