this is exactly why the dogmatic culture around vaccines is toxic. Nobody should be forced to take a vaccine before the side effects are even known.

You really don’t have time to wait 5 years for ”complete” results.

People don’t understand basic math and threat modeling. How likely you are going to get covid and how serious it can be (for you and others)? How likely you get something serious from vaccine (only you) but most likely avoid serious covid (and spread it less to others)?

Of course, forced vaccine might look bad from very selfish perspective, but benefits from bigger picture are obvious even with side effects.

And how are you going to find these rare events when you do not use the vaccine?
