Peter,

Hope that you’re right about the safety and efficacy aspects of this vaccine but I still prefer to wait until there’s more long term data before I get it myself.

But does the vaccine do those things? Does the data show that it reduces COVID-19 deaths or even duration of virus shedding? It’s only been tasked with reducing mild cases and that is what most people who catch it experience anyway. Moreover, can they guarantee that the mRNA coding for the spike protein won’t be incorporated into your native DNA via reverse transcriptase that has been shown to function that way with various retroviruses. Too soon to tell with a new technology for at least several years after countless millions receive this vaccine. Hopefully, we won’t see a big increase in autoimmune diseases down the road at which point it will be too late.
