what about the long term side effects on infants? what's the history of mrna vaccines similar to the ones being used right now or are this generation different from the previous ones?
I'm going to dispell a common misconception real quick.
Long-term side effects do not happen in a vacuum. It's not like there's no side effect, and then at 2 years 6 months and 21 days suddenly you get a disease that they trace back to the vaccine.
Long-term side effects almost always have short-term signs. Lung-scarring is a long-term side effect of Covid, but you see it immediately.
I don't think infants are recommended to get the vaccine. I googled and Pfizer is specifically starting a vaccine trial for infants and young kids to observe the efficacy and side effects for exactly that reason. So I don't think that's much of a concern.
