Well of course. Nobody expects vaccines will be 100% safe in all cases. My main gripe (well, gripes) is that the mRNA vaccines did not really have rigorous testing, they crossed over the placebo arm way too soon, it was a platform that had never worked before, it was rushed out, and there was very likely a safe and effective remedy for the disease using a cocktail of old generic drugs, minerals and vitamins that the “health experts” adamantly refused to investigate. When the virus was raging and tens of thousands of new infections per day were occurring it would have been very easy to run a very large double blind study of the IVM/zinc/C/antibiotic protocol against a placebo. We would have had solid results in weeks as we would see daily viral loads, symptom recovery, hospitalization rates and other data from the drug and placebo arms etc rolling in daily. We would have known for sure if it helped within weeks. “The experts” blew a great chance to learn something important.

That is the basis for claims that the vaccines isn’t safe or effective. In the minds of many, the vaccine must be 100% safe with no side-effects and must be 100% effective in preventing diseases. Quite frankly, most anti-vaxxers are looking for excuses not to take the vaccine so they create a false narrative that the vaccines are neither safe nor effective.
As for the rest of your post. You’re essentially buying into the anti-vaxxer narrative. The mRNA vaccines underwent rigorous testing. It is immoral to continue distributing placebos when it is evident that the vaccines are safe and effective. It would also be immoral to conduct a very large double blind study of the IVM/zinc/C/antibiotic protocol against a placebo since you would have condemned many to death during the weeks necessary to conduct that study prior to the release of the vaccines. In fact, such studies have been conducted in the years since the pandemic and, contrary to the anti-vaxxer narrative, that protocal was proven ineffective.
If one researches the history of vaccination one will only find emotional arguments against vaccination. These arguments haven’t changed. At first, the small pox vaccine was going to turn people in cows. Now, the vaccines change your DNA. Same arguments, different vaccines.
Bottom line. Some are very adamant that they do not want to take vaccines. They will believe any argument that supports that desire regardless of the truth behind the argument.
