Now, asked to take a vaccine that has been taken by hundreds of millions with some having side effects.....No WAY! I'll lose my job first!

He may be like myself and my wife (no pics) where we aren't getting it until we know of any long-term side effects. You simply can't swap quantity of test subjects for time.

The normal FDA testing period is 10-12 years. We're at the point of a Phase IV test, which is normally ~8 years in, but these vaccines themselves haven't even existed for two years yet.

To add to this we are getting conflicting messages.

Is there efficacy in the vaccines? Yes... sometimes? We see reports here in the US about 89% or more of COVID patients in hospitals are unvaccinated, but then we see reports coming from the medical fields of other countries where the majority of their patients are vaccinated. In the case of Iceland, over 90% of the country is vaccinated yet they have had their highest spike in cases thus far.

We hear doctors state they are actively using Ivermectin with their patients and getting great results but then we get other doctors stating it doesn't.

We were told to get the 2-shot vaccine and we would be safe from the virus, that it would be eradicated just like Polio and we could all get back to normal. Then it was that the efficacy wore off and a booster would be needed after a year. Now it's 8 months (with some stories claiming 6 months).

We are told different things on masks but they all boil down to lessening impact while being presented as (or at least taken as) completely stopping transmission.

From the brief animal study phase (which normally lasts a year before moving to pre-clinicals) we were told the spike proteins shouldn't move from the injection site (mice) or that if they did it would be VERY minimal (macaques), yet we now know (see again: quantity does not substitute for time) that in humans the spike proteins flow throughout the body far more. Enough that the NIH, CDC, etc have had to rush to create missives explaining that finding them throughout the body isn't harmful.

There's enough complaints coming into the NIH that they've begun studying the impact of the vaccines on women's cycles and pectoral lymph nodes. With that latter point, prior to COVID the general medical consensus was to consult a physician if a lymph node remains swollen longer than two weeks. Now that we're seeing far longer inflammation after the vaccines they've backed it up to six weeks (ie: 3x as long). Some complaints I've read have had women dealing with it for up to 3 months and the nodes become hard enough to register as tumors in mammograms.

And then there's a history we can draw from for drugs which were rushed into use (see: thalidomide and the swine flu debacle of 1976).

This doesn't even get into "vaccination passports" (which we were assured would not happen), mandating vaccination as a condition of employment or even entry to a business.

To me, those are all far more disturbing than the possibility of getting a virus with a ~99% survival rate.
