Remember hydroxychloroquine? Remember bleach?

Remember all of those scientific agencies that have been muzzled by the administration?

No, I would not take this administration's word. I would not take the word of agency that Trump has influence over. I would only take the word of independent sources who have tested the vaccine and proved it to be safe. Until then, nothing coming from this government is believable.

It is comforting (or not comforting) to know that a lack of understanding of science crosses all political stripes. For some reason republican voters get lumped in as anti-science, but the response from the anti-Trump demographic on vaccines is quite anti-science.

You won't need to trust Trump or the FDA. You'll be able to read the clinical trials yourself. The beauty of science is that you never need to appeal to authority in order to validate the conclusions. You are able to build your knowledge from the ground up to be able to interpret the data yourself.

We already know what the FDA is considering a successful study for licensing - 50% efficacy against disease. So the licensing metrics have been established already.

Indemnifications for vaccines has been around since the 80's. That isn't a new concept.

"Opposite of What Orange Man Thinks" is not a valid position on science (or anything for that matter).
