Useless question. There wont be a free vaccine, and if it did it doesn’t matter because others wont take it themselves. The US is permanently fucked no matter what and there is no way out of this crisis(before the “natural end” i.e 70-80% of the population infected) that doesn’t involve severe government action, and you know that isn’t coming either.

Might as well ask what I would do if I had Bezos money. If you can afford to be quarantined at home you should and the vaccine is irrelevant. This vaccine is only 95% effective, but isolation combined with mask use is 100% effective.

If you can’t afford to quarantine than each person should make their own personal decision. In this case I’d probably take it.

People saying that you should trust the vaccine because money is on the line are completely detached to the past 6-8 months of history. Nobody will be held responsible if these vaccines fail, no company will lose money because they can make it all back through the stock market. And the stock market certainly gives no shits about the deaths so far, it certainly will not give a shit about a failed vaccine or any number of deaths, not in the US certainly not the combined number world wide.

You’d think the “market” cares about the economy getting back on track, except everyone knows the real economy is meaningless except for TV pundits and mainstream “economists”. The actual corporations and investors couldn’t care less because everyone now knows it doesn’t matter how bad it gets the US government will always bail them out.
