This is impossible and this stance comes from a complete misunderstanding about how vaccine studies work.
Science has, in fact, prevailed here.
- axiosgunnar 5y agoIf it‘s impossible to iron out side effects, do not make vaccination obligatory then.

- junon 5y agoEmergency use does not mean tests weren't carried out. It just means the entire process was given the highest priority at every step of the chain. There were quite a few other companies that submitted vaccines for review that were denied, but nobody seems to want to talk about them. Studies weren't "cut short". They're still ongoing. Dozens of independent auditors checking the efficacy, safety, and side effects of the vaccines constantly with incoming medical information. It's naive and misinformed to think we're just sticking shit into our arms without understanding it.
- jtc331 5y agoIt seems you didn't read what I wrote. I didn't say "tests weren't carried out". The studies were unblinded at 6 months -- the original plan was multiple years. That qualifies as "cut short" for any reasonable reading of those words. > It's naive and misinformed to think we're just sticking shit into our arms without understanding it. Also not even remotely what I actually said. Did you even read my comment?
