Elon Musk on COVID-19 vaccine

The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk is certain that he will not take the COVID-19 vaccine whenever it is launched and available for people to use.

He is skeptical of the vaccine and therefore has decided against taking it. He said that neither he nor his kids are going to get the vaccine.

Additionally, Elon added that he and his children are not at a high risk of getting the virus. Besides, even if he does get the virus, he is not worried about it.

Elon was on the podcast Sway of the New York Times. He was asked whether he was willing to take the vaccine when it is available. And his reply was negative. He said:

“I’m not at risk for COVID, nor are my kids.”

Elon and his opposition to the coronavirus-induced lockdown

Elon has been against the lockdown ever since it started in March 2020. He has been extremely vocal about it and has compared the process to a house arrest. In April 2020, he tweeted:

“Reopen with care & appropriate protection, but don’t put everyone under de facto house arrest,”

Elon is of the strong opinion that everyone should not be put under house arrest. But he feels that only those at risk should be quarantined until this stormy phase passes away.

However, he did not specify all those who are at risk. The fact is that even scientists and doctors do not still have a clear picture of it. As far as they know, all humans are at risk and the categories at risk vary from country to country and region to region.

More about Elon’s criticism of the lockdown and the reason for it

Elon is dead against the lockdown. He had said:

“Essentially, the right thing to do would be to not have done a lockdown for the whole country.”

He felt that lockdowns are a ‘no-win’ situation. Elon added that if any of his employees feel that by coming to work, they might pose a risk to their families, he would just tell them to stay home. When asked whether he would in that case pay them their dues, he did not answer the question.

And when he was further pressed into answering the question, he said that he would quit the interview!!! He said to the interviewer, Kara Swisher:

“Kara, I do not want to get into a debate about COVID-19, this situation. Let’s just move on.”

Elon himself has no proper decisions made or thought about his employees and their safety. If he is against the lockdown, it is because of the loss he and his factory are incurring due to it.

His lost profits this year are the sole reason for him wanting to restart normalcy at the earliest.
