We should be scrutinizing it extensively because it is unproven technology being rolled out at an unprecedented scale for a virus that has an extremely low fatality rate.

In short: if we fuck this up in any way vaccines will become nonviable in the majority of the western world, and with good reason too.

Edit: since people don't seem to know what the covid jab actually is, but enjoy downvoting and flagging: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different...

In short: it does not use a weakened version of the virus like every vaccine up till now, it injects mRNA instead. That mRNA gets inside your cells and causes the cells to express a protein that is common to the virus. Other cells react to this by creating anti-bodies against that protein.

It is a misuse of terminology to call it a vaccine given that word has nearly two centuries of meaning, and if some people have a bad reaction to it then it drags down proven technology along with it. It is closer to temporary genetic modification than it is to regular vaccines.

That 95% of the anti-anti-vax crowd I've talked to have no idea about his bodes ill for scientific literacy and will make any possible backlash against it even worse.
