Why are you more scared of a vaccine than other new covid treatments?

I’m not scared of a vaccine. I am not sure what words I used to give you that impression.

I do see a lot of people fixating on vaccines as if it will make everything better. Vaccines will help, but better if there are other treatments as well. I think that if mortality rates and long-term scarring decreases, then people won’t feel like their survival depends upon other people’s cooperation.

Presumably because any side-effects of new COVID treatments would only affected those who get a serious form of COVID while any side-effects of a vaccine would be applied to the entire population.
