Vaccines take 5-15 years to fully test. We have no idea what long term consequences will be yet.

Just because the normal process isn’t parallelized like it was done for these vaccines, plus natural exposure to the pathogen usually takes a very long time to play out. As this vaccine researcher at children’s hospital of Pennsylvania notes, all reactions to vaccines that have ever been recorded were within 2 months of application. https://www.chop.edu/news/long-term-side-effects-covid-19-va...

Would that be realistic to wait that long right in the middle of a global pandemic?

Is it be realistic to take a novel vaccine with unknown long term effects from indemnified big pharma companies?

[ostenning]

If there is some long term disease that manifests from all this, I tell you what, people aren't going to care about "indemnified" big pharma. People will want blood.

[srbufi]

I'm sure they've game theorized possible outcomes and will mitigate the blowback. But yea, I don't trust any of it.

160+ million people in the Us have had at least 1 vaccine shot, so I guess the answer to your question is yes.
