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.
