Care to cite an actual example of a COVID vaccine study that didn't have a caveat about what risks might still be unknown?

I cite its approval. Again, "the science" mostly revolves around policy, instead of you know, science.

"The science" as presented popularly regarding the COVID vaccines was that the risks were low and it less risky for anyone of any age group to get vaccinated rather than risk COVID, that turned out to be false. For some age groups, especially young people its less risky to get COVID, especially omicron, than to get vaccinated. The messaging still hasn't really changed in this regard.

Either way no matter the risk of COVID, the lockdowns, and vaccine passes, and mask mandates were ridiculous and very unscientific.
