> Agreed, I've had all other vaccines, but this batch is rushed, experimental, and not necessary for me - labelling people such as myself "anti-vaxers" is just dishonest, bitter, childish, name calling.

No, it's not. That's a misunderstanding of how the vaccine development process works and what takes time.

What takes time in the normal course of development is testing the vaccine, yes. Specifically, determining how effective it is. The reason that takes so long is that in general there are very, very few cases of most of the diseases vaccines are developed to prevent -- and you can't just go giving people Ebola to check how many of them catch it.

It's fearmongering, plain and simple.

There's mountains of data for your perusal online explaining how and why it got done fast -- here's one example. [1]

Nine women cannot work together to produce a baby in one month.

Similarly, while wider population testing for safety and efficacy would likely correlate with long term safety, it’s not a total substitute.

I think it could be completely rational for young, healthy, low BMI people to delay vaccination till they’re more comfortable with any potential long term issues.

Well I guess it's a good thing nobody's trying to produce a baby, but rather, a vaccine. Because they succeeded, and you hand-waved away my completely rational explanation with a nonsequitur about pregnancy.

Those folks aren't being immunized to protect themselves but those around them. This is a team effort and everyone's gotta pitch in.

I got my J&J a week ago. No side-effects here.
