- kcolford 5y agoThere's a reason doctors call it "practicing" medicine... (And it has nothing to do with the word practice getting a connotation of imperfect performance long after that phrase came into existence. :D )
- tekknik 5y agomost of which the companies have not been shielded against, like in this case, and again most of which was not developed in a rushed fashion to address an immediate need. have you forgotten about the people having heart issues after receiving the shot?
- Nursie 5y agoNot at all, but they are a tiny number of people from the multiple billions now vaccinated, and the vast majority of them recover just fine. This is a very safe vaccine, far safer than getting covid (at any age) and that wouldn't make it 'experimental' anyway.
- tekknik 5y agoour definitions of experimental are very different. you also assume that if issues didn’t arise shortly after vaccination that issues won’t arise down the road, this is why we do lengthy drug trials and not “5 min express” approvals. and if it’s so safe then how come the companies developing them still have immunity? if it’s safe and not experimental we can remove that and open them up to lawsuits right?
