Safety is not black and white; everything is a tradeoff. If COVID was say, 100x worse, I think it would be obvious that it would be worth the risks of an expedited process to release a vaccine sooner.
- BizarroLand 4y agoNearly 2% of unvaccinated people died of covid complications. If left unchecked, not counting for the fact that getting covid once does not preclude you from getting it again, that would mean roughly 140,000,000 of the people alive as of 2019 would die from covid related complications during their lifetimes. If it were 100x worse, it would eradicate the human race. Right now, the death toll is approximately 6.3 million. I think a few million early choking and gagging deaths by suffocation is worth the small risk of having a complication from the vaccine, of which, nearly 2 years in so far the worst complication is an inflamed heart.
