In the short amount of time people have been taking these vaccines, how much more data than a few months could they really be looking at, seriously ?

They're looking at a century's worth of other vaccines and noting that the side effects present early on, not years later.

The stuff in vaccines gets broken down or excreted by the body; it doesn't linger in your system for years. mRNA, for example, breaks down in minutes/hours.

All it tells us if that in the very short term, it seems safe. Great.

When we know more about the long term, then people will be more happy to take it?

No, it is far more likely at that point that you will just trot out some other excuse.

No. I really hope that it’s safe, I can take it without fear and never look back.

If you think I’m really against vaccines you’re wrong.
