Thank you for that post.
Still, the time lapse is only a matter of months, where standard protocol is years. Therefore, no one can possibly know at this point what the long term consequences might be, correct?
Also, I understand the virus has never actually been isolated, a necessary step to develop a vaccine. In other words, Kochs Postulate has never been satisfied.
But maybe it doesn’t make a difference since they are fooling with a person’s RNA and not actually injecting a weakened virus so the host can produce antibodies.
Do I have all this right?
the virus has absolutely been isolated. We have electron micrographs of ot and the gene sequencing
Could there be long term consequences we don’t know. I suppose but not likely most of not all vaccine side effects are short term. At this point we can’t wait years to get the vaccine in circulation. Life is risk and benefits and everyone has to figure that equation for themself
In contrast, we know exactly what the consequences of continued lockdowns will be on the world. Many countries economies devastated, billions of people thrust into more poverty and many deaths because of it.
The damage that's being wrought to the world because of this virus warrants an expedited rollout of these vaccines. We don't have time to test for two more years, the world's economy will be in ruins and many more people dead by then. It's easy to snipe from the sidelines but your tune would probably change if it's your loved one dying of a disease that could have been prevented by a timely rollout of a vaccine. It's been tested enough to a reasonable assurance of safety. Nobody is being forced to take it, if you're scared of it then don't take it.
The rest of us will use our best judgement that it's probably safe enough and go ahead and take it. The benefits outweigh the risk. Nothing in this life is certain so sometimes you have to use your best judgement and do something other than sitting around clutching pearls.
I've had Covid so I should be afforded a degree of immunity from that. When the vaccine's available to me I will take it.
