Instead of trialing a vaccine that uses technologies that have been in development for a decade, you decided to trial a virus that no human body has ever had to deal with. Boy, does that makes sense! Godspeed and good luck continuing to roll the die.

As someone who has had the 'Vid several times now, I'll take my chances getting sick for a few days versus injecting myself with an untested drug and risking permanent damage to something far more important like my cardiovascular system.

Sure they've been working on it for years but until it goes through the multi year FDA phase trial, it's still that: untested.

And PS, for the 3 times I've picked it up, I'm 100% back to my old self in about 2 weeks. This "long" nonsense is an injury caused by something else, perhaps an injection of a rushed to market drug?

The COVID vaccines have been tested. They went through the same testing procedures as other vaccines, including three-phase clinical trials on tens of thousands of people. But of course you've probably already been made aware of this many, many times. your reference to "the credentialed class" and "science" in quotes makes it clear this is a political stance for you, so you'll refuse to be convinced otherwise at this point, regardless of evidence to the contrary.

Fair enough, just don't stand anywhere close to me when the next pandemic hits and you refuse to do anything for a decade because the concept of epidemiology and science advancing since you were a child is apparently foreign to you.

Lol, lmao even.

The covid vaccine used an "accelerated timeline" and was rushed through it's trials in less than a year.

Every other vaccine took 7-10 years to establish a clear long term understanding of how these vaccines interact within the bodies a broad segment of the population.

Answer the question: can you cite the decade long term studies about the safety of the covid 19 vaccine like the MMR vaccine?

No you can't, because they don't exist. In fact, you're living through the long term studies now because you are the test subject.

The smugness is comical. Those decade long trials are done so to avoid health crisis like thalidobromide babies. That too was released without much over sight into its effects and guess what happened? Oops!

You're welcome to be my guest and beta test vaccines.

At least if you live in a city with a lot of biomed companies you get paid to be a human guinea pig. You did this for free.

Might as well start installing nightly package builds and pushing them to production after a week of testing. You've essentially done the same thing with your body.

What’s not comical is that you think the virus is doing less damage to your body than the vaccine. What a darkly absurd idea.
