People keep saying it, but I haven't seen any medical reports on the dangers being anywhere near worth talking about. Also, longer time on a vaccine means a longer lockdown. The paradise where we lift lockdown with no vaccine and let the old and infirm drop like flies isn't going to happen.
The problem is that, like thalidomide, we don't have the data of what it will do three or five years out. If they realized it was going to create a cluster of armless babies, they probably wouldn't have sold it. They stopped using it after the connection that it caused all the deformed babies, but if you were born without arms, they couldn't go back in time and prevent your mom from taking it.
Regular vaccines are viruses that have been killed or neutered, but then placed in your body where they are harmless, and then your immune system fights it like it was a living threat, and remembers how to fight that later.
This is injecting the infectious material into your cells, like an active virus, but hopefully just a small portion that codes for the spike protein, that hopefully hasn't degraded enough to make it unreadable or to become something unpredictable, so that hopefully that will be enough that your body will find anything with spikes like that dangerous.
It compromises a patch of your cells, which your body will then attack, but the mechanism is intervening on only partial data, it seems like the kind of thing that could cause autoimmune disease or cancer risk down the line. If the safety studies didn't have to be rushed under such heavy political pressure, it would be less intimidating.
We also thought insulating our houses and decorating our ceilings with asbestos was a great idea until we found out it caused cancer, too. None of us know the future, but we could decide to place our bets on where we think we stand the most risk. If your covid risk is only .3% death and the shot has like a .1% risk of death, they are still both small risks with uncertain future prospects, so it's down to which devil you most want to fight.
All vaccines have risks. It's about if you think your risk from an illness merits the risks of the vaccines. There are so many vaccines against illnesses that just aren't found in the country you live in that you never get, at least until you decide to take a tropical vacation and potentially create a need.
