9.693 million doses have been administered over about 10 months. If we assume linear administration, that's 4,039,164 human life years of testing.

Not how "long term" studies work, you can't take 9 women and produce a baby in 1 month.

People here aren’t good at detecting sarcasm.

It's hard to see sarcasm when people also genuinely hold the belief.

> You're just a lab rat if you take the vaccine before it has had 209,348 years of trials.

Or, you know, 3. Like most new vaccines. Except with this one, an exception was made because people were (are) dying by the millions, and because most of those 3 years is an observation period for rare and obscure side effects that take time to manifest. But do nevertheless happen. We did what we usually do in medicine: risk-benefit trade-off. The decision wasn't a close one, but that doesn't mean that being concerned about the risk is somehow absurd.

Point being: using charitable interpretations of your opponents' arguments does not make for brief and funny sound bites.

I think people are missing the sarcasm here.
