"I will take the vaccine immediately. Not taking it is crazy crazy crazy!" -Italy

"Thank you to the doctors and researchers for doing their best to get us the vaccine so soon. God bless you." -Mexico

Against the Vaccine:

"Too rushed, too pushed, no valid safety test. While COVID-19 may be a nasty virus, it is not reason to risk everyone else's safety with this vaccine." -Netherlands

"I do not believe in the current evidence of the safety of the vaccine and I do not believe in the figures for severe COVID-19 disease and mortality. I prefer to observe while taking basic, precautionary measures against infection." -Colombia

"The vaccine seems unnecessary, premature and adventurous." – France
