Yes, you are right. So either way, these vaccines has not passed through proper safety evaluation.

No it does not.

Because that would be like saying, just because all you got is a binocular with very limited magnification/resolving power, satelites for jupiter does not exist, because you cannot see them through it.

Someone should name this fallacy.
