Aside from getting data and potentially sell it to more 3rd parties, isnt this a good thing to further test some vaccines? Its fair to be open to the thought that not all vaccines are safe
Further testing is good. We need to always be testing these. But Ignoring the mountains of data already taken and saying "I need further proof before I believe it all" is disingenuous. If all the data we have collected isn't getting through to them, one more set of test results won't, either.
Ok thats true i def agree with that but this is less about them and more about getting more studies done to solidify any findings and to discover any points points of interest
No. It's all about them, and their ignorance, which they believe should be given the same deference as our knowledge.
Vaccines have been in wide use for decades. They are effective. While they may have side effects, they pale in comparison to the harm that contracting the disease can cause. The findings are solid, especially for the ones that have been in use for decades like measles and polio. That son-of-a-bridge and his brain worm are not going to add anything worthwhile to the discussion.
Even the new ones with a small track record, like the COVID vaccine, shouldn't be considered to be rushed. It was the result of pharma companies and government pouring as much money as possible into getting a safe vaccine as fast as possible, due to the profound human tragedy the virus caused. When money is no object, things can be done quickly and safely.
No one is saying studies should stop. Popping up and suggesting otherwise as if this nutjob has a point is just helping prop them up.
