Being in favor of vaccines in general, but not the ones for COVID.

This is even worse in my mind.

"Oh I'm totally for vaccine, but not the one that went through full trials and helps stopping the actual pandemic going on right now, nope, that one is a no go better people keep dying when we could stop it"

It didn't go through full preclinical trials. What are you on about?

The normal sequence of tests aren’t about human safety for the general public their about human safety of the test subjects in the clinical trials including primates. So they did pre clinical trials like this one, but they did fast track to primate testing. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.09.08.280818v1

At this point we have more data on COVID vaccinations than most prescription medications as their so widespread.
