The messaging thus far has been, "it's perfectly safe and highly effective." So it's quite important to share this info now.

Also, what do you mean by 'untested and unnecessary'?

The vaccine was intentionally not trailed on these people because of the risks.

If low risk people get vaccinated then it is not necessary that this tiny minority get vaccinated because of how herd immunity works.

You are wrong.

"The notion that COVID-19-vaccine-induced population immunity will allow a return to pre-COVID-19 “normalcy” might be based on illusory assumptions."

Untested on people with serious allergies and unnecessary, because it's not a virus encounter at that point.

Does anyone actually believe that though? The us government and corporations have a long history of lying to the public.

Anyone? Yes. There's billions of people out there. If the government says it's good to go, some folks will absolutely take that at face value.

Yet they're coming out with this information and all the anti vaccine folks believe it's the truth. So which is it?
