I'm kind of confused because the legit scientific evidence is there on this and there is zero statistically significant data that shows these vaccines to be unsafe.
Here is the downside to that. People assume that if something doesn't happen shortly, that nothing is going to happen to them. Sometimes negative effects take years to show up and then from there people have safe guards to continue using something.
Even with things that we know to be bad can take yrs, decades before the issue manifests and even then they are people that don't have the issue.
We do have some evidence of deaths and very severe reactions to the vaccines. Are they of statistical concern....not really, but like with anything there is a risk. I do find it strange that J&J pulled the vaccine after just 6 deaths. Not even automakers do recalls after 6 deaths (this is fresh on my mind due to my wife's old car, but I digress).
I find it funny that people seem to think that since they didn't turn into a monkey after a week or two after their second shot that it's safe. That isn't always the case.
Like I said, my parents could care less because they are already at or past the average life expectancy in the US. Odds are, they aren't going to live to actually see those affects as it is (and even if they do they are already on borrowed time as it is (my dad can be quite morbid, gets that from his mom who lived to be 101.5, but thought she wasn't going to be around since she was in her 70s).
This happens outside of the medical profession as well.
We tend to want to run before we walk as a species.
Now, I am not saying that the vaccine is dangerous, it's just too soon to tell what the long term effects are. Mandating it without knowing how things are going to be even 3 - 5 yrs down the line and what that may mean for public health (if I recall there was an Austrian vaccine expert that was worried about public health even 10 yrs out, he wasn't against the vaccine itself, but how it was actually being rolled out, sometimes good ideas can have crap implementions that make them not worth squat), may be no bueno. I'm not saying that will be an issue, but at this time it could be an issue. We just don't know.
Now if "you" believe that at this point it is better to get it then not, that's fine. "You" do "you". Those that are for sure at higher risk demographics, by all means vaccinate. Regardless of how new a vaccine is. Weigh the risks as they are for "you" and do what is best for "you" to live "your" best life.
I've had medicine that I had to have my liver tested every month to make sure that it was still operating as it should. Imagine what it was like before it was known to do that test.
Now these ramblings/musings are not from a medical professional, my formal education was in Equine Nutrition and Reproduction, so I'm an aggie, take what "you" will from that.
