Post election Covid news

But, unlike the flu and other diseases that are far more serious in their symptoms for the younger population as compared to Covid, and where a vaccination is definitely warranted; Covid is different.

Do you have any data to back up this statement? I am genuinely interested in what should be obvious reasons!

And if you are in your late teens or early twenties, what’s the likelihood you are going to be hospitalized or die from Covid?

I mean, they are not taking the vaccine for themselves but to not transmit the disease to other which is the fact for most people with almost any illness.

I can see how parents could be very hesitant about giving their child a vaccination to a disease that really isn’t that dangerous for their children. BUT, if you see a vaccine “rushed”, where other vaccines typically take years of study and development, I too might be concerned. What potential long term side effects might this vaccine possibly cause?

I think I answered this to Cuz above but maybe in a different manner. This is not rushed. This is how long it would take if you spend 10-100 times more money on something involving 1000 upon 1000 of more people working towards a single target. The compute bill, alone, for Running the models of this is about $500,000/week. No one spends that kind of money normally on a vaccine as vaccines, generally speaking, is not a money-making machine compared to other medicines.

If I were to take the vaccine or give it to my children, I would want some definitive assurances that it is indeed safe.

You will never take a single vaccine if this is the requirement, it's that simple. The only one who could tell you this with 100% certainty would be God and I have not seen him making any vaccines lately.

If you have more targeted questions I'm happy to answer those but anymore wondering about safety, efficacy, and such I have already answered to the best of my ability and I think much can easily be extrapolated from that.
