Risks beyond 120 days are not ignored. They are accepted, and monitored for. That 120 day risk is not the amount being tracked. It's just one time period used to communicate the amount of risk.
Covid vaccines have been monitored over 1.5 years already.
We know the long term risk for virus vaccination exist. But they are different from short term risks. Some people get autoimmune diseases just from normal annual flu shots. As long as the risk is far below the benefits, it's completely acceptable.
- Retric 5y agoCurrent models suggest ~90% of people are getting some variant of COVID and or vaccinated. So, long term risks are reasonably calculated as vaccine risks + COVID exposure vs the risk of someone getting COVID without vaccination not simply a 120 day window of risk. If the vaccine was significantly more risky then that would still be the case either way, however many assumptions are baked into that 120 day window.
