Agreed, there are only 2 options: - Lipid nanoparticle delivering mRNA expressing 1 protein (vaccine) - Lipid nanoparticle delivering mRNA expressing many proteins (virus), that has severe short term side effects Odds are much higher than the virus has worse side effects, but we will not be able to wait and see. Waiting just defaults to the second option (with all of its known negative externalities). (yes, there are other types of vaccines too, and a discussion of which vaccine to take seems completely rational)
