This vaccine uses a different technology than all previous vaccines. It bears almost nothing in common technologically with previous vaccines.
As such extra skepticism is permissible.
- PierceJoy 5y agoThis is just vaccine misinformation. Anti vaxxers will already have some excuse for why "this" vaccine is different.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoThis is scientific fact. mRNA is completely different in operation than older degraded-virus vaccines, and to say otherwise is misinformation. The only things they have in common is the name and the end goal.
- seized 5y agoA year or more ago, sure, a bit of skepticism is fine. At this point it's been well shown that it's safe and that being unvaccinated is much more dangerous. Time to grow up.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoIt is not scientifically possible to show that any substance is completely safe after one year. Anyone who says otherwise is selling you something. There are countless compounds (mercury, lead, smoking particles) which take years to show their harm and were once considered safe by science. Do I think the vaccine will join those ranks? No, but I don’t want to oversell it’s safety either.
