The existence of occasional short-term side effects (which I've never denied) does not constitute the proof of long term side effects that I said we haven't seen.
Yes, it is impossible to have long term proof in the short term. I know that, and never denied it, and I specifically referred to "possible" dangers in the long term. That reference to "possible" dangers shows that any inference that I have ignored the possibility would be just dishonest. Nor did I ever deny that MRNA vaccines are novel. So are plenty of other medical techniques that people use, to their benefit.
Short term effects do not mean there are similar or related long term effects. It's well known that many vaccines have a small possibility of short term side effects like anaphylaxis. That's why the 15 minute wait that you didn't know about is standard practise after a shot. It's an example of the fact that the existence of a side effect in the short term does not mean that the side effect persists into the long term.
None of that gets away from the fact that some of us prefer to reduce a known current risk, even if there is some possibility of unknown long term risk. And some of us are prepared to take certain long-term risks, just as you appear to take the long-term risk of skin cancer when you go kiting.
So we're in agreeance then.
You like so many others are so **** scared, that you've taken an experimental treatment to sooth your minds short term, and your fear has seriously clouded your judgement of the long term risks of taking something so new that no-one can possibly know what the outcome of it would be.
How does it feel to live your life in fear that you are willing to grasp at any straw?
It must feel pretty good to have emotionally stunted people like lotofhotwind project their daddy issues onto you.
You're the one scared of the allegedly possible side-effects that you have not identified.
My judgement is based on assessment of the facts, including people I know who have suffered Covid and suffered the real effects - short term, mid term, and possibly long term. That's real effects that really happen - not some possible effect caused by an unidentified mechanism. I know I could catch Covid, I know that it could hit me particularly badly because of an old windsurfing injury that smashed my sinuses and makes me liable to infections there.
Of course I'm going to be logical and avoid a significant known risk. Of course I'm not going to run like a coward from a supposed boogeyman risk that probably doesn't even exist.
I notice you continually avoid the fact that YOU run known long term risks and accept them. You run an increased risk of fatal skin cancer when you go kitesurfing. Assuming you drink beer, you run an increased risk of illness in the long term every time you skull a glass. Every time you step in the water, you run a risk. So if you run those risks, why are you so terrified of a risk that may not even exist?
How does it feel to live your life in such fear that you are running scared of risks that (on the basis of available science) don't even exist and you can't even properly identify?
Are you still squawking with your walls of text?
You just love comparing apples to oranges don't you.
On one hand you mention activities in which the risks are known and can be managed, on the other allowing yourself to be injected with a therapy that the risks are completely unknown, and hence can't be managed or weighed up on a risk/benefit analysis.
And you make this comparison as if they are the same thing.
You are deluded.
It is your fear that has made you leap into the unknown, to expose yourself to risks that even you admit are not known - not that they definitely don't exist, that they are unknown.
Yet you try to project that fear onto others, those that would prefer to wait an appropriate amount of time to then be able to make a proper risk/benefit analysis.
I love your disclaimer of '
on the basis of available science'. Did you know that 'available science' comes from in large part, thoroughly testing new drugs and therapies over a significant amount of time to account for long term effects? Obviously not.
Are you even aware that Pfizer have listed that their clinical trials won't be finished until 2023?
You are part of the clinical trials, guinea pig.
Good one brainiac.
