>I am not sorry about people like you getting infected or hospitalized. I was one of those people this time last year. No one was feeling sorry then either. Don't worry I'll get a booster shot when it is due, but I've done my part. Please don't lump me in with the unvaxxed. EDIT: to be clear, i was just an innocent bystander who caught covid-19 early on while no one could possibly believe i was having the symptoms that we are all so deathly afraid of now. i survived, i have this persistent feeling of weirdness and random twinges of pains, but i survived it without a vaccine. i don't know what a vaccine is going to do for me (at this junction in time, maybe T+12 months will be different lets see what the science says)

Obviously he was referring to people with the possibility of having the vaccine which deliberately reject it, not people who couldn't have it.

> don't know what a vaccine is going to do for me (at this junction in time, maybe T+12 months will be different lets see what the science says) We do know what a vaccine does, especially in the case of viral vectors(they’ve been around for decades). What specifically seems to be unknown?

  Can you provide a reference to a single viral vector vaccine with widespread usage prior to this year?

    I’m talking about viral vector as a delivery method. And you’re talking about testing a COVID-19 vaccine, right? Of course there’s none. But there’s no way to do a long-term testing of a particular COVID-19 vaccine. By the time you finish the study it’s going to be too late. So if someone says “But a vaccine hasn’t been studied long enough!” they just propose to not vaccinate at all and rely on lockdowns/post-illness immunity. However, we’ve got sufficient knowledge about the mechanism of the used vaccines to say they’re sufficiently safe.
