Looking at the vaccination materials my wife got when she was vaccinated, I noticed some disturbing notes including that animal trials had never been completed.
Being healthy and under 40, and given how quickly these vaccines were rushed out, I merely want to wait until the long-term effects are known. I don't think there's anything extreme about that.
It should be noted that I've had covid (from visiting fully vaccinated and boosted family) and have had the antibody test confirming I should have some degree of resistance now.
However government policy and messaging has all been based on vaccination - not verified natural resistance (which studies show are robust to many variants, unlike vaccination). I can only conclude that the government does not care about health outcomes: It only cares about vaccination status. After being denied entry to restaurants and events and generally punished by society for what I deem to be reasonable caution, it starts to feel very dystopian and gives me all the more reason to pause and wait for long-term studies to be completed.
Incidentally, I'm one of the most vaccinated people on Earth. I've had over 90 vaccines prior to this event, including three just prior to the outbreak of the pandemic. None of them have ever required me to sign a liability waiver. Yet another reason I'm cautious about these vaccines: If the manufacturers are more uncertain of these vaccines than usual then why shouldn't I be?
- adgjlsfhk1 5y agowhy do you care about animal studies which are fairly unreliable when it has already passed human studies?
- maxk42 5y agoBecause the basic controls that prevent us from harmful outcomes were not observed. Did you read nothing else I wrote?
- xboxnolifes 5y agobut animal trials only exist as a precursor to human trials. If the human trials have successfully concluded, animal trials are redundant. The idea of having skipped animal trials is worrying while doing the human trials, but if the human trials complete successfully, then the worry is no longer founded.
- maxk42 5y ago> If the human trials have successfully concluded They have not.
- adgjlsfhk1 5y agoyes they have. what are you talking about?
