I love how people repeat propaganda without thinking, claiming both “vaccines are 100% safe” and “we need to wait to make sure vaccines are safe for children” w

  I love how people like you think that building a strawman is effective at making an argument: nobody claims vaccines are 100% safe. They are not. But when the risk of adverse effects of a vaccine is lower than 0.001% and the risk of adverse effects of not having a vaccine is many orders of magnitude higher, the choice is obvious. It makes total sense to stagger the testing and deployment based on age groups, especially for COVID-19: due to the insane mortality rate a high age, the benefits of vaccine far outweighed the risk of not doing it. The fact that these elderly automatically functioned as a huge test group for further deployment for others was a very convenient additional benefit. Likewise, it also makes total sense to be more cautious for kids. The younger they are, the higher the consequences. Try again.
