That is my question.

Why only 60+?

Why not 50 or 40 or 30?

If it’s ‘safe’ for us 60+ THEN IT SHOULD BE SAFE FOR EVERYONE...................

Got a tetanus shot in late Dec 2020 in an ER.
Had been in a wreck and was still too woozy to object.

Never gave a second thought to injections before the fraud pulled on us with th recent scamdemic. They’ve lost my trust for whatever time I have left on this spaceship.

Another opportunity for the anti-vaxxers to insist that they’re not against vaccines...

You have a right to take as many 'vaxines' as you can get your hands on. No one here would complain.

That’s the highest risk group (65+ and with underlying conditions like COPD, diabetes, congestive heart failure) and it seems less safe for pregnant women so they ended trials in that cohort. Not many sixty year olds getting pregnant.

I am mentally exhausted with the antivax militants here at FR. Don’t trust it, don’t get it. It’s simple. This doesn’t seem to be an mRNA vaccine at first glance but that won’t stop the fringe from finding some way to badmouth it.

You know the liberal motto:

Light a man on fire and hes warm for the rest of his life.

Lol, that’s much better than Logan’s Run where they had to go die at 30!

Seriously, for the last time, just because I’m against the MRNA vaccine BS, does not make me (or others) anti-vaccine.
The MRNA “vaccine” is BS and you know it except for Novavax...but me, my wife and children all got the standard vaccines and believe in them. So stop with the “anti vaxx” BS because we don’t trust that MRNA lie!

Only 94%? Pfizer’s covid vaccine was advertised as being 100% effective in preventing one from getting the virus.

We must be careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water. The politically tainted Covid 19 fiasco aside, we owe much to good science, such as the increase in life expectancy and the harnessing of our physical world for the benefit of mankind. Well designed scientific experimentation leads to answers that help solve problems.

You're right that skepticism against a rushed to the market-place new technology vaccine without the usual testing does not equate to being anti-vaccine, in the slightest. That said, this does not appear to be an mRNA-based vaccine, and seems to have gone through traditional extensive testing. It's based upon an adjuvanted viral F protein, and the data look good.

Please stop with labeling us as “anti vax militants”...You sound like a stupid leftist. The MRNA vaccine is a sham-—the mandates for it were a sham and tyrannical. I am pro PROVEN vaccines-—TB, Tetanus, Polio, small pox, etc. All these vaccines were tested for 4 years minimum and people trusted them when they were proven effective-—MRNA isn’t and never was and the government and leftists abused it. So being anti-MRNA (unproven) is scientific, but naming everyone “anti vaxxers” is the same leftist BS that I had to hear for over year from moronic employees and the owners from our company making life a living hell.

Yes it does. Politicized scientific experimentation leads to problems that create more problems...............

Our 3 week old was in the hospital for 10 days when she developed RSV. I can be just as nasty in newborns as it is in the elderly. As long as it’s tested and proven I’m for it.

But I have to admit, after the MRNA crap, I’m skeptical of big pharma. I used to trust it 100%...Now, I research it.

The Covid debacle made antivaxxers out of normal, sane people. It was obvious something about that whole thing was cooked up. This doesn’t mean ALL science is untrustworthy now. Certainly the health care workers at human level (I know many) do their best for the benefit the sick.
