They assume since the FDA has said they are safe they are safe. Though the credibility of the FDA CDC and NIH have gone down quite a bit since COVID came along.YMix wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 4:25 pmThis is the kind of thing that will be analyzed for a long time. It sounds like common sense to say "this vaccine was developed too quickly, it's untested and I don't know what's in it". However, the same people take drugs for various conditions and have absolutely no idea how those drugs were developed and tested, nor what's in them. That's not common sense.Nonc Hilaire wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 4:45 pmAntivaxxer is a propaganda identity. Intelligent people want treatments that are tested to be safe and effective.
Health bureaucrats do not want people to exercise common sense, so they slander citizens who question obviously dangerous and untested treatments as ‘antivax’.
The decision to take the vaccine or any med should be between doctor and patient. The Vaccine rollout short circuited that in the US. You can get free vaccinations on demand in many places without consulting your doctor.
I can understand and respect the people's reluctance to trust the authorities, but the way that reluctance manifests itself is appalling, while the kind of justifications many people express are inconsistent, nonsensical or hysterical. Can't approve of that.
Haring so many prominent politicians here that have been caught disregarding the government proscribed precautions like wearing a mask in public do not exactly breed trust either. Almost seems like mandates have nothing to do with COVID.
