True, but it won't pass the test for implementation, or the test of time, and probably not the test of foreign authorities either.
All common vaccines have a degree of safety, that degree is not 100% but generally very close.
The degree of safety of common vaccines is well known, and also the danger of NOT taking them.
Being a so called "skeptic" is more likely to put you in greater danger than less, if it causes you to avoid vaccines that are recognized for their efficacy.
There is zero reasonable doubt that many people died or had permanent after effects because they were unvaccinated against COVID. The people preaching antivaxer idiocy about it are quacks.
The test of time would be reassuring if people wernt so easily brainwashed. Its been common knowledge that “little” of anything toxic may not show immediate damage and turns out in long term but that hasnt stopped the majority of people from accepting carcinogens in their food, etc.
For common vaccines that have an extensive history of studies, i agree. But for recent vaccines that were prematurely approved for emergency use it is still wise to be skeptic because of the sane reason as before, corruption in the academic studies.
It is still too recent to not acknowledge the potential unidentified risks. Vaccines or not, the logic applies to anything newly developed.
You sound like you're the one who is brainwashed.
Regarding toxic compounds that are used in some vaccines, the amounts are so minuscule that you breathe many times more more for instance quicksilver than you'll ever get from vaccines.
And for instance B12, an amazing vitamin, that helps the body get rid of toxins, contains cobalt as an essential part.
Although they were approved quickly, Covid vaccines were way more safe than not getting it. Not just barely, but by a factor of 1000. Mind you, I'm not saying safer than getting COVID, because that would be even higher.
I agree that generally it's advisable to be skeptic, but the advise is not to be skeptic AGAINST EVIDENCE!!
And especially not when your life is at stake.
RFK jr. is a moron, and that includes his view on vaccines.
Being skeptic is extremely important when it comes to claims without evidence, the more fantastic the claim, the more the need for evidence.
For some reason many of those antivaxer "sceptics" are religious, and believe the most outrageous nonsense in that regard too.
COVID vaccines have been given for almost 4 years now. How much more time do you need?
If the COVID vaccine kills me 30 years from now, I won't be too broken up about it.
