Without metaphors do you disagree about any of the following?
(1) Very similar coronaviridae have been researched for years, since the first SARS and MERS outbreaks in the early 2000s. And of course some nontrivial quantity of common colds are caused by coronaviridae.
(2) A lot of time was spent attempting to create MERS and SARS vaccines that was leveraged for COVID.
(3) mRNA has been researched for like 30 years.
(4) Viral vector vaccines have been researched for about 50 years.
(5) Vaccines are a fairly well understood quantity that won't mess with your germ line.
(6) The clinical trials used to confirm efficacy of the COVID vaccines were roughly in line with the sample size of any other clinical trial.
(7) At this point after 6 billion doses administered it's about as safe as aspartame.
Whether you quibble with any specific points, do you have any reason to believe a COVID vaccine is unsafe other than some nebulous gut feeling? Would anything change your mind?
