How do you prove a vaccine has no 5-10 year term side effects? It's usually part of the trials. They haven't done 5 years of testing on this vaccine, so the answer is- "nobody knows". So let's just call a spade a spade and admit that nobody has any idea what the 5-10 year side effects will be and not judge one another for the risks they are willing or unwilling to take with their own body and those of their loved ones. Thanks so much.
You're mistaken. With the RNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer), they've been in development for about 10 years, since the SARS scare. They were developed for SARS, which is a type of coronavirus. When we had the COVID-19 outbreak, all they had to do was adjust the vaccine for a different version of the coronavirus. It's not that much different than how the influenza vaccine is updated every year. Each year's flu vaccine doesn't need to be tested for 10 years because it's mostly the same as it was the year before. It's just been updated. The COVID-19 vaccines are the same.
Full FDA approval is about to begin for Pfizer, a process that will take a few months. Then, it will no longer be under the emergency authorization and will be under full FDA approval. This is because it's safe and effective.
You talk about how you're afraid of what the long term effects "might" be for vaccines that have been used
billions of times safely. I urge you to think about what the long term effects of COVID-19 already are. You see, if you choose not to vaccinate, then you choose to get the virus. We all know the virus kills 1 out of 56 people who test positive. But what about the long term effects? People who have had COVID-19 are at a 60% increased risk of death for at least 6 months following their COVID illness. Also, 1 out of 3 survivors get diagnosed with a neurological illness within 6 months after their COVID-19 illness.
You want to hear about a disturbing study? After COVID-19 hit a college athletic team, the college decided to study the students. They all get scans of their heart. Literally half of them had an enlarged heart after suffering COVID-19. In 15% of the athletes, it was bad enough for them to be diagnosed with myocarditis.
Additionally, many survivors of COVID-19 (even those with mild cases) have damage to the lungs. Some surgeons are reporting that the lung damage from COVID is worse than the worst smokers' lungs.
In addition to the brain, the heart, and the lungs, some COVID survivors experience kidney failure. So, you say you're afraid of what the long term effects of the vaccine "might" be. But if you choose the virus instead, you
know what the long-term effects are, and they are very, very dangerous. It makes no sense to choose this dangerous and deadly option.
