That said, the large size of these studies should be extremely comforting to people.
I know nothing about vaccines or medicine really, but I just find it hard to believe that it’s just luck that we’re all going to be taking one in under a year when there hasn’t been much push for approval before this ?
Hopefully we’re not going to be pressured to be inoculated with something, anything that works, because of desperation and because managing the situation in an adult way was too hard for most world leaders.
As others have said, if you’re not in a high risk group, maybe some skepticism is warranted?
That being said: shutting down discourse I'm always against. Dumb or not everyone should be able to have their say as long as they don't preach violence in any way.
Vaccines are not 100% effective, don't convey permanent immunity, and not everyone can be vaccinated due to various health restrictions. As a result, if you voluntarily choose not to be immunized when you could otherwise have been, you are voluntarily exposing some people you come into contact with to potential harm.
It's up to you whether that falls within your definition of "violence", but some would say so.
