So, you are saying that long-term studies (say five years) have actually been done in the last year?
So, if you want to find out the effects of a fall on the human body, you throw a person off of a 20 story building. You examine them after 15 stories and they are still healthy. So you extrapolate that a 20 story fall is safe.
Sorry, but baking cookies for 12 minutes at 350 F does not mean that you can cook them for two minutes at 2,100 F.
I REALLY want to know what the LONG TERM effects of a vaccine are before I take it. Yes, the most likely outcome is that there are no long term effects. But I want to know for sure.
I am not anti-vaccine at all. I have had lots of vaccines. However, every on that I have ever taken has had decades of history behind it.
But I thank you for being part of the largest medical study project in history. I hope that things turn out well for you. Thank you for calling me an idiot for just wanting PROOF that this vaccine is safe. I appreciate your careless disregard for my health.
Remember: "Keep your laws off of my body." "My body, my choice."
So how many long-term studies (over two years) have been done in the last year?
Yeah, nine women can't make a baby in a month. Long-term studies take time.
If you want to flee America to go to Cuba, nobody on the American side will stop you.
Just saying.
Yup. If you wanted to hear anti-Semitic speech, that can only come from democrats:

Yeah, I know. My karma will go down for posting unpopular, but real news articles.
Yeah. about that pesky 3/5 rule. What SHOULD the right number have been?
Did you say that the *right* answer is "1." Ding ding ding, you are a moron. If every slave counted as a full "person" then the slave-owning south would have had MORE house members, guaranteeing that they could have control over the smaller, non-slave-owning northern states.
The northern states would have preferred "0" as the best answer, since they were not free people, but then we would not have the UNITED states: the country would have been split north vs. south from the beginning.
That is why we go 3/5. It was a compromise needed to actually make one nation. neither side got what they wanted.
Exactly. People used to care about rights. But now that we have a vaccine that is freely available to anybody who wants it, people STILL don't mind being told to wear a mask. As much attention as is being paid to masks, you would think that the vaccine didn't work. But people happily roll over and don't complain when laws affect your body.
Pregnancy is not a public health hazzard. Abortion is. Each abortion, by definition, requires the death of a human with unique DNA that will never be seen again.
Me not getting the vaccine MIGHT, MAYBE result in an illness (that might or might not result in death) of another person who CHOSE to not get the vaccine.
An abortion is GUARANTEED to kill a person.
But on the plus side, if this becomes mandatory, then the door is wide open for government making decisions for people's health. So this sets a good precedent for limiting abortions.
I have already HAD the virus. If I had not, I would likely get the vaccine. But my body ALREADY KNOWS how to fight it off...
I do freely admit that there is (in my mind) a 99% chance that the vaccine is safe. But not 100%. It does not help that any news about side effects is actually censored by big tech. There is a narrative to push, so any knowledge that says otherwise must be suppressed. I don't trust the process.
But,"my body, my choice" and "keep your laws off of my body." But you do you... If you get the vaccine, I don't care. Go for it.
Really? I know quite a bit about biology. Yes, I know that the mRNA just codes for the surface proteins. But you don't know what you don't know, and that goes for biology as a whole. It was once believed that our genome was full of junk DNA. Guess what? It isn't junk. It was once believed that the appendix had no purpose. Yup, it does.
Doctors used to prescribe smoking for pregnant women.
Science gave us Thalidomide. That went well, didn't it? https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...
Clearly another person who lacks reading comprehension. This is a PERSONAL DECISION. If you are elderly and at a heightened risk, go ahead and take it.
But I guess that, along with being an ass, reading comprehension is another one of your weaknesses.
I am lilly-white, but I have three adopted black daughters. I will explain to them that according to people like you, they are too dumb to know how to get a driver's license. Then I will explain how you really aren't racist, despite having a low opinion of their IQ....
Before you make it difficult to open a bank account, you have to show that there is an actual problem Before you make it hard to buy Sudafed, show that there is an actual problem.
The "actual problem" if it exists, is that some people can't get ID. Fix that and "showing ID to vote" is a NON-ISSUE, unless your intent is to make fraud easier.
The REASON to require ID is to make sure that you are ACTUALLY WHO YOU CLAIM TO BE ON YOUR VOTER'S REGISTRATION!!!! If you WANT to vote five or six times, the best thing is to not have to show legal ID.
The GOP: suppressing voter fraud for generations.
So explain why a black person not being able to open a checking account is OK, but not being able to vote for a democrat is suddenly an issue... As a practical matter, I would rather not vote than not have a checking account to allow me to get PAID IN MY JOB. I would think that would be a "duh" comment, but nothing is too stupid when you want to encourage fraud.
Really? Women have conceived SINCE getting the vaccine and have given birth, since the vaccine really only became available in December? So you are saying that if you get pregnant AFTER getting the poke, you will go into premature labor? Wow, what a great advertisement.
DO THE DAMN MATH. The vaccine FIRST became available (in VERY limited quantities) back in DECEMBER. It has clearly not been 9 months.
Yes, I *KNOW* what the mRNA codes for. That is not the point. There have been side effects to the vaccine. The incidents are rare, but they exist. Once again, repeat after me: "if you are at risk, get the vaccine." I know that I am not at risk.
Yeah, you do you. But keep your laws off of my body. My body, my choice. Or is that phrase no longer relevant since politics clearly should be more important than my own sovereignty over my own body? Yeah, I know. Those phrases are different and don't matter, because you say so.... I should just take your word on what is best for me.
Yeah, the GOP only wants citizens to vote, and to only vote once. How horrible of them.
Yeah, democrats think that black people aren't smart enough to get an ID, but they aren't the racist ones.
Let's assume that black people DO actually have a hard time getting an ID. The Democrat's response.. Fix the actual problem? Nope.
Somebody can't open a bank account? Who cares.
Can't board a commercial aircraft? Yeah, no big deal.
Can't legally buy a gun? So what?
Have trouble getting a library card? Not my problem.
Can't vote for a democrat? THIS IS INTOLERABLE!
Yeah, it really IS that stupid.
