Eh, I think the vaccine was a bit over-tested. We had it from month 1, but had to wait almost a year to use it. It's more of a general disconnect between reality and discourse that's the problem. And a very very stupid black and white worldview - what's allowed is automatically mandatory.
We should have allowed the vaccines much earlier for populations at risk, and we should hesitate a lot more before we make anything mandatory. But yeah, this would take balls and willingness to assume responsibility. And speaking of, literal millions[1] of dead later we still haven't done any challenge trials, because exposing 25 year olds to Omicron to find out things about it faster _would be immoral_.

- benmmurphy 5y agoI think the vaccine should have been distributed earlier to at risk groups as well. I’m probably classified as either anti-vaxx in the current discourse. I think if you are placing healthy people under house arrest to protect other people then you have to strongly consider if risk/benefits of an experimental vaccine justifies its distribution without waiting for normal testing.
