> Blanket statements like this continue to promote distrust.

Hypothetically, if the vaccine was safe and effective, what messaging would you use that would be different from "everyone should get vaccinated"?

I guess we will have to wait 70 years to find out if the COVID vaccine is safe or not.

Just looked it up and wow this is actually true! I'm feeling very confident of my upcoming booster now. Guess I'll just hedge my bet by buying Pfizer stock.

Surge in inputs can be explained by the fact that we’re in a pandemic. Based on the investigation of the VAERS reports, what risks are you talking about?

From 1990, roughly ~600 self reported cases of negative vaccine related effects per year. Now, with the COVID vaccine, we are at over 20k a year and counting. From 1990 through 2020 there were various pandemics across the globe, including a few in the US. In that time, there were several innovations with vaccines, as well. So the dismissal that we are in a pandemic seems suspect.

sorry man, the distrust you speak of is generated fud for pokitical purposes.

so while you may have a grain of truth, its not a useful truth when stripped of the heavy antivaxx movement for political gain.
