Amazing how many non doctors are now experts on vaccines.
Why would a person need to be a doctor, or an expert in vaccines, to determine whether or not they want to take one?
What next, you need to be an expert architect in order to live in a house? Need to be a master Butcher and chef to eat a steak?
Seriously, what's your point here, Matt? More information on the vaccines is available than we probably honestly need. The largest bit of information, however, for the mRNA versions, is that no mid-long term studies of potential side effects exist. Perhaps there will be no side effects, perhaps there will be some.
That many people would be hesitant to have such an unknown injected into their bodies is no shock. Every individual's health is their own personal responsibility. As with any risk assessment, it comes down to whether the rewards of taking the vaccine outweigh the risks. And for a large number of healthy people, the unknown factor due to lack of long term study outweighs the big scary cold.
Also, now that the CDC is saying that the vaccine won't necessarily prevent you from getting or spreading the virus, over 1100 have died of the virus after being fully vaccinated, and ~6600 have died from the vaccines themselves, the risk factor starts to look a little worse. The fact that the pharma companies also have complete immunity from anything related to the vaccine just furthers this.
So, rather than the snarky attitude, take a minute to examine the following links, and in the meantime, readjust your thinking: Everyone is the expert on what they want in their own body. It's not for politicians, pharma companies, keyboard warriors or any other self-aggrandizing twit to judge for them.
