America is plummeting down the global vaccination league table

It isn’t “experimental”, rather, it has “emergency use” authorization.

Frankly, these vaccines have tons of data behind them, with the exception of long-term results [0].

Here’s how I would frame it: would you rather take a chance on a vaccine or getting Covid? Remember, Covid has many worse short term effects than the vaccine, and long term effects from it are truly understood yet either. So the vaccine is the more rational choice, despite the unknowns.

Hope that helps.

I refuse to get any virus that has not passed rigorous Stage 3 and Stage 4 safety trials. Worse yet, this so-called Delta variant has been rushed into production without even the most basic studies, even though it's clearly not the same thing as the original virus!

Ha! If only it was that simple.
