I just want to point out that the difference between the mRNA vaccines and the other medications with long term side effects is that the mRNA vaccine is only active in your body for a few days. You don't get repeated injections on a timescale often enough to constantly have the vaccine in your body. The only thing that remains is the antibodies, which were made by your own body. On the other hand, blood pressure medication etc. needs to be taken daily and has active ingredients constantly circulating in your bloodstream.
- rdtsc 5y ago> mRNA vaccine is only active in your body for a few days. Isn’t the point of it to confer long term immunity? Specifically, it aims to alter the immune system, probably one of the more complicated systems our body has. Immune system disorders are no joke, they can kill or significantly reduce the quality of life. So there is a potential area for things to go wrong. There is also the case of any long term effects triggered by the short term presence of mRNA. What if it lands in different types of organs, could that cause cancer in 2-3 years, other serious chronic condition. Not by the mRNA still being transcribed there but by some other unintended interaction or lasting damage. I just don’t understand where the absolute confidence that it’s safe long term is coming from.
- FredFS456 5y agoNote that my previous comment did not state anything to do with long term safety, only that there is a false equivalency being drawn. I agree that there is no long term (decades) study that I can point to about the safety of mRNA vaccines. However, my personal choice to take the vaccine was a conscious comparison of the benefits and risks (with attempts at quantifying the above).
