Before a great deal of testing? It went through multiple clinical phases, including a phase iii trials with over 40,000 people from April 2020 to November 2020.

By the time most people started getting it, the phase iii trials had been going for 11 months.

If there any any significant acute effects, they would have been found.

One can speculate about long term effects but one can also speculate on long term effects of natural COVID infection.

When Polio hit the US, the Salk vaccine was enthusiastically shipped out despite no long term tests either.

It’s amazing to me that people who talk in terms of risk minimization seem to simultaneously latch onto “natural” and “alternative” cures.

Natural immunity is bandied about as if there’s no risks involved and with claims or durability which are unproven.
