What, so you think a bunch of links somehow proves that there are no legitimate concerns regarding drug treatments which officially are still on an experimental phase and which have been proven to pose a risk of major health side-effects, no matter how low the probability of such risks may be?
You're moving the goal posts. You claimed in your previous post that there are:
a lot of legitimate reasons to doubt this vaccine, specially given how rushed the process was
I provided lots of verifiable facts from very reputable sources (the NHS, Reuters, The Australian Government and UCL University) which explained in layman's terms why the vaccines have been approved so quickly. Links that you've obviously decided not to even glance at because of your obvious cognitive dissonance. Now all of a sudden you've quickly shifted from the speedy approvals process to the potential risk of side effects. So let's look at the risk of these side effects...
Is the COVID-19 Vaccine Safe?
Our experts answer some frequently asked questions about vaccine safety.
www.hopkinsmedicine.org
John Hopkins Medicine reports around 1000 cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart). But considering that hundreds of millions of doses have been administered, that's a pretty insignificant number. Especially bearing in mind the virus has already killed over 4 million people worldwide. The American CDC also reports that side effects are very rare. But considering we live in a world where over 40,000 people are injured on the toilet each year, and yet we see no clamour to ban the loo from our homes, the statistical probability of a fatal vaccine side effect is so negligible that's it's really not worth worrying about.
I thought you people were supposed to be all about the science.
El Oh fucking el...
So are you saying you're NOT about the science?? What's your decision making process based on? Magic? Witchcraft? Clairvoyance?? Also, what do you mean by 'you people'?
Pretty much anyone appearing on msm these days is unreliable, everyone seems to have an agenda.
Well duh! Of course everyone has an agenda! Agenda is merely a synonym for motivation and everyone has a motivation for doing things. I'd suggest you try removing yourself from whatever echo chamber you currently inhabit, because living in a state of outright paranoia about the news isn't healthy.
Just look in the US, how the same people who are begging everyone to take the vaccine are the same people who just a few months ago were saying they wouldn't be taking what they deemed to be Trump's vaccine (meaning Moderna and Pfizer, I think), since they couldn't trust it.
Poor example. You have two sides that are now so divided that achieving any form of consensus on anything seems impossible. Personally I couldn't give a toss what the Yanks are up to. I don't live there, don't want to live there, not even sure I'd want to visit the place TBH.
