We are very sure the vaccine is safe for the vast, vast majority of people. And that it’s small risk is worth it! It also shows an ignorance to the way vaccines work to suggest that they will cause some unforeseen years down the road mutations.

COVID vaccinations vs. other childhood vaccines

Anyone claiming they won't vaccinate their kids because of the dangers of rare side effects or that COVID isn't "that"

Vaccine companies are not liable for their COVID vaccines. This is an emergency

For all those thumbs downers, if it's so safe why not announce full liability?

Not enough data to support that claim either way.

That’s totally crap. The risk of death from COVID to a kid does not justify the risk of vaccination. There is no need

What risk of vaccination? What does that even mean?

Someone who says what risk of vaccine is the definition of someone who isn’t rational

Don’t lots of people who had chickenpox get the shingles vaccine?

I think you have to be 50 or older to get that vaccination, right?

There have been hundreds of thousands who got the vaccine before that

Are you willing to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong?

Wrong on the government claim. How long is long enough?

The vaccines have been out for less than a year. Are there long term effects?

ochobeeguy

5/16/21 9:03am

You're afraid of long haul vax side effects but not long haul COVID?

ReyOso

I'm actually afraid of both. Why would you say I'm not?

ochobeeguy

5/16/21 9:33am

It’s not even equivalent. One is the long term continuation of actual symptoms

Were people worried about thalidomide after 5 months is availability?

CougarThug

5/16/21 10:26am

This is a vaccine, not a drug. We've been vaccinating for generations.

ReyOso

5/16/21 10:40am

And we have been using drugs for how long?
