No one here is saying that. The concept of vaccines is not under any sort of criticism in this thread. Some people are leery of it being rushed into production. Some people are leery because of the authoritarian measures we've been all but promised will accompany this particular vaccine. The only one bringing up the anti-vax specter is you, because apparently you feel the need to go on a dickstroking bender about how cool, brave, and euphoric you are for having a vaccine fetish.
You get your flu shot every year don't you?
A vaccine will fuck with you one of two ways: either virus wasn't as dead as it could have been, or you have a reaction to usually the adjuvant, which is basically something to trigger your body to attack the dead virus and make antibodies. They don't come up with new adjuvants every time there is a new vaccine. You use what's existing and proven safe.
There are two parts to a vaccine. You first have to make sure you've isolated the virus. Virus mutate, but not all of the parts of the virus change at the same rate, so you need to identify these slow-changing parts. This is why you need your MMR boosters every few years - these viruses change rapidly, and if you aren't getting booster shots, your antibodies may not be latching on to the latest strains. Once that's done, you need to confirm that those parts will actually allow your antibodies to latch on in such a way to render the virus inert. Then you need to package that shit up - you need to make sure the stabilizers keep everything from breaking down and usually you need to include an adjuvant to actually make your immune system react.
Then you have to run your vaccine, through multiple rounds of testing.
You have to make sure your vaccine sans-virus is safe. Then you have to prove your potent viral load does what it says. You also need to prove your virus is truly intert. Then then run through a shit ton of lab trials with publically collected specimens to make sure your vaccine formulation nor the deactivated virus is not causing undue reactions; and THEN you can start recruiting for clinical trials.
When I signed up for H1N1 it was testing an adjuvant. Not a new adjuvant. One used for 20 years and proven safe enough for other vaccines. They just hadn't tested it with THIS virus before, and this adjuvant had a one in 100,000 chance it would cause an alergic reaction ranging from "itch" to "hives" to "epipen" and they had to make sure this formulation didn't raise that risk unacceptably. 2 months delay on the vaccine, and no idea if it ever made it to market, because they needed to make sure this new virus wasn't going to cause an added risk of allergic reaction.
These are the sorts of safe guards getting waived. This is not radical new science.
I'm more concerned the vaccine won't work than any reaction, which given I'm not concerned about the coof, is not a big risk. Worst case, I'm immune and I'm not the asshole vector who infects everyone else.
GET YOUR FUCKING FLU SHOT.
GET YOUR FUCKING COOF SHOT WHEN ITS AVAILABLE.
(Previous dude with the flu shot adjuvant reaction, you're excused.)
