A comment here already says that expressing concern over a vaccine is basically misinformation. I'm sorry but expressing concern about a vaccine that is developed in about 1 year, which is a record 1/10th of the time it normally takes is completely fair, as there can be serious consequences that you don't know about for a while.
And I say this as someone who is vaccinated for everything, even optional vaccines, and has vaccinated for everything when going to Asia etc.

- Cthulhu_ 6y agoSee that is a fact check; if someone were to state "The 1976 swine flu vaccine was unsafe", that's a fact. If someone has the belief "The Covid-19 vaccine has not been tested adequately", that too is a fact - and the manufacturers have issued a joint statement saying they would not risk releasing an unsafe vaccine either. But the fearmongering? The "Vaccines cause autism" claim (which is massively insulting, for one because it implies that people would rather have their kids be dead than autistic)? The misinformation about the contents and risks of vaccines? That needs to be tackled. Those are non-factual or disproportionate claims that are putting millions at risk. My girlfriend initially made the conscious decision not to have her son vaccinated (for various reasons not related to the current anti-vax trend) but had to have it done later on because so many others refused to vaccinate their kids. She wanted to rely on herd immunity but the anti-vaxxers made that unlikely.
- ralusek 6y ago> "The Covid-19 vaccine has not been tested adequately," that too is a fact That is very much NOT a fact. "Adequately" is entirely subjective. It is a subjective threshold that might be informed by other facts, but that doesn't make it a fact.
