to catalogue the long-term effects of this vax AND this virus.
because both are largely unknown quantities in a lot of ways.

This vax is different than other vaxes BECAUSE the disease is so new and unknown. It's also the quickest developed Vax in human history, AND the 1st mRNA vax, AND the 1st to be so relentlessly privatized out the gate.

That's not to mention pfizer & j&j's record of medical malfeasance.

There are objectively several why reasons anyone could be skeptical of the way the US, in particular, has managed COVID & the vaccines.

Miss me with the "guys like you" fuckshit, too.
Engage the actual arguments presented and not whatever goofshit you're repeating from MSNBC.

Re: other vaccines - I don't know why y'all keep mentioning them. People can be be skeptical of the COVID vaxxes, and be fine with vaccines in general (this is most people who are hesitant of the COVID vaxxes, btw)

And no the premise isn't bullshit - the COVID vaxxes don't prevent infection, dont prevent the spread of the virus, appear to wear off after 6 months or so, appears to be less effective than regular antibodies, and have varying side effects on different people of varying levels of severity, and no one knows why. That's not to mention their efficacy in fighting variants, or even if they make the spread of certain variants more likely.

For you, that level of risk is fine.

For a LOT of people - literally MILLIONS of Americans - it's not.

I get it. You don't have to.
But it's their bodies.

Also the analogy to seatbelts, drunk driving and smoking are shit analogies, because those all involve the right to use/consume *commercial* products.

and in the case of smoking, there's decades of research that proves that 2nd hand smoke is bad.

People who are skeptical of the COVID Vaxxes literally just want more research into their effects.
More data.
More science.
More empiricism.
You lot? NO DO IT NOW WE KNOW ENOUGH AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR CUZ PFIZER IS GOOD
Meanwhile we still don't know a lot about the actual *disease*

You can insult people all you want.

And they will continue to ignore the fuck out of you.
As they should.
