Except for the 10 months of rigorous clinical trials performed in the US and the UK with over 100,000 participants.
"They aren’t even true vaccines by the legal/medical terminology as they supposedly mitigate symptoms rather than actually stop the virus and they don’t keep vaccinated folks from “potentially” harboring the virus and passing it on."
This is not correct. Sterilizing immunity is generally a function of the presence of neutralizing antibodies. Since these vaccines produce a lot of neutralizing antibodies (several times higher than a COVID-19 infection normally does), they almost certainly DO provide sterilizing immunity. However, studies to date have not been performed to confirm this since the initial question answered by the studies was "are these safe and are they effective at preventing serious disease and death?" (spoiler alert: the studies confirmed they're 95% effective, just like the smallpox vaccine, and safe)
"The major data gathering is underway now as they plunger the concoction into millions of arms."
Always is with any new drug or vaccine. You can conduct trials, but you always learn more later on. That's the entire purpose of VAERS.
So, what’s your area of expertise?
You quote a lot of internet stories but it seems pretty much to be an opinion - sorry to say that the 10 months of “rigorous clinical trials” you cite is hogwash because they were still paying with trying to develop something 10 months ago...and even if 10 months was correct, it is nowhere near enough to call anything a track record - especially since some actual scientists think there may be problems arising some months down the road and let’s not forget, this is the first time this type “vaccine” has been authorized for human testing/experimenting. How long did it take to start tying some old-time vaccines to possible problems in a section of those (and their babies) getting them?
Please don’t tell me you stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night and that’s where you got your definitive statements.
