Probably should make sure it works first!

I would not want my name on any of these vaccines. They really are not proven to be safe yet. We have never had a safe and effective RNA vaccine ever.

I don’t think Trump would want his name associated with these vaccines.
From the article “Everything You Don’t Want To Know About COVID Vaccines” (link at bottom):
“Moderna’s messenger RNA vaccine, on the other hand, is completely new and revolutionary to say the least. It uses a sequence of genetic RNA material produced in a lab that, when injected into your body, must invade your cells and hijack your cells’ protein-making machinery called ribosomes to produce the viral components that subsequently train your immune system to fight the virus. In this case, Moderna’s mRNA-1273 is programmed to make your cells produce the coronavirus’ infamous spike protein that gives the virus its crown-like appearance (’corona’ is crown in Latin) for which it is named.”
But these are the first mRNA vaccines ever seeking approval for human use, and so there are no long-term studies of what might go wrong down the road.
One concern is the possibility that mRNA vaccines could trigger a generalized immune response (interferon, etc.) rather than just a specific immune response to a specific virus (antibodies, etc.).
Our immune system is extremely complex and I make no claim to have a complete understanding of it. That said, the immune system has several levels of response. A conventional vaccine triggers the production of a specific antibody that “recognizes” a specific invader. In other cases, the immune system can activate an “all hands on deck” generalized response.
The danger is that the mRNA could trigger an “all hands on deck” response that could then cascade into autoimmune disorders in which the immune system goes haywire and starts attacking the body’s own cells rather than limiting its destructive capabilities to foreign viruses, bacteria, etc.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
mRNA vaccines by the very nature of their components elicit an interferon response that triggers generalized autoimmunity. This may, in fact, be part of the mechanism of longer term morbidity associated with COVID infection.
Mass introduction of mRNA strands into the populations may indeed reduce acute COVID morbidity and mortality, but how many autoimmune complications will result?
No one knows.
It’s never been done before—ever.
It would take years of carefully controlled and limited trials across all ethnic groups to find out.
Is the net good from a vaccine that fewer people die up front but a whole lot more folks suffer long term problems on the back end—especially (as seems likely) boosters will be required.
Shouldn’t there be a discussion before ‘immunity passports’ are mandated?
For that matter, shouldn’t we discover how long natural immunity lasts before trying to provoke induced immunity?
I’m dumbstruck that, with the proposed approval timetable, this path is even being considered at a population level, let alone considered without an extensive discussion.
First do no harm.”

We’d be better off with a vaccine for liberalism.
Let’s see how it works first. And if it starts killing people.

Call it “If you don’t take this you only have a 98.7% chance of surviving” vaccine. No thanks.
The vaccine is probably going to be either dangerous or useless.
In the end the Democrats will want it named Trump’s vaccine.
We should have gone with herd immunity.
If it’s named the Trump vaccine, it will be banned in America.
Ever heard of Polio vaccine? How about Small Pox vaccine?
Common sense isn’t common anymore.
I call it TROUBLE.
