Really? Because that's not what I said.

You can't change a process - especially not a medical one for 100s of millions of people - and then say "We're 100% certain of this. This is all new. There are no long term side effects. And if you think or say otherwise, we will cancel you."

Anyone who knows even a bit of history - medical or otherwise - and is comfortable with that is a either naive, or on the take.

To clarify, I don't have a problem with an non-traditional process. That being said, the way the process was "sold" set off my BS detector too many times. The two are disconnected to a fault.

For example, there's this:

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/07/13/1111137...

Long to short, we've had "OMG the variants..." repeated over and over, how important the jab is to that, and then how in a worldwide pandemic the threat of variants can come from anywhere.

Yet, 2 docs in Brazil have to invent their own vax? And promise to give it away? While USA Big Pharma...does what??? counts their money? Because variants aren't a threat? See?

Again, complete disconnect. Disconnect that no one should be comfortable with.

The testing process? Of course we can, statistics is quite an established and predictive science.

Again, looks like you have a problem with a non-traditional process. You also seem to have a falling for low-quality science journalism. Both are understandable, but your failure of understanding the vaccine policies around the pandemics were due to your partial understanding, and not fault of the policies.
