> Would love to hear more experts discuss why this is considered sufficiently long-term safe to make the decision of vaccinating a billion people after nine months of testing. Am I missing something, or is it just a question of the precautionary principle in this case being considered too costly? I think, generally, it has been discussed. There's lots of research on mRNA vaccines going back decades at this point, though they haven't made it to market until now. I see people saying "it's not being discussed" often on this site, but really, anyone saying "no, this is safe" has the implicit support of all that research behind them.
