The idea that these vaccines might have some long term serious consequence is bonkers given the short term serious consequences


In my county and the one beside me, there hasn't been one death with the virus and for the last 3 months, there isn't a single active case.


I'm not convinced that there are short term serious consequences which is why I have serious doubts in taking a vaccine that is rushed through production so a drug company can make billons of dollars. Maybe I'm skeptical but when there is that kind of money involved, I don't trust the drug companies to do the right thing.
