Are you just going to wait out the 50 years, to see what the long terms affects are, retrospectively?
Posters have stated that long term effects are rare. That they leave the system fast. This may be true with all other vaccines. I am not anti vax. I am fully vaccinated for everything but this. My entire family is vaccinated for everything else.

However there has never been a vaccine ever used for humans that was MRNA and used a spike protein. Nobody can deny this, so is it possible that this one doesn’t leave our systems as fast as other vaccines of our past and nobody knows? If I’m wrong please provide me with an example of an identical vaccine we’ve used in the past and it’s success rate. Also does anyone know why this type of vaccine was used this time instead of tried and tested traditional methods?

Honestly my feeling is by 2023 we should know most data and all information. That will allow the vaccinated masses to get through another flu, different covid strain season and see if the immune system is stronger or weaker against other types of viruses that this vaccine was not targeting. It will allow more studies on fertility, and reproduction including any affects on the fetus of unborn children. It will allow improvements to be made if necessary ensure every aspect has been looked at and for long enough times. I can wait to go to a hockey game or travel and hopefully others will allow me and others like me that time. I do not think the measures in place will work and even though I was vaccinated for everything else before, I never once had a thought while attending a game or a concert that I wonder if everyone here is vaccinated for my safety. That said this has changed our world and how we see it acceptable to treat others, just hopefully if the shoe is on the other foot the people preaching remember how it felt.
