The vaccines were accelerated by spending money and the high prevalence of the infection, they weren't rushed.
4 months into widespread use they have been safe and have demonstrated high efficacy in real world use.
The blood clotting with the AZ vaccine is an issue, but that risk is still a good trade-off for a big segment of the population.
- jfengel 6y agoI've tweaked my post slightly; I was referring to the perception of it being rushed for political reasons. It's clearly safe and pursued using proper scientific methods, but there was legitimate concern that the President would apply pressure to approve something prematurely. That would be very much in character -- as we saw when he applied pressure to change votes.
