While the specific percentages in this meme are not accurate, still lol. There is a lot of truth to that when we have a high risk vaccine that didnt go through the usual safety checks being pushed on the public.
@freemo what's the justification for calling the vaccine (which one?) "high risk"? relative to what? The accuracy of risk calculations is kind of the whole point.
@2ck All of them. The justification being that all the usual safety requirements for releasing a vaccine had been relaxed or skipped. This is why there was 1) a requirement of an emergency approval from the president to allow it to be released without the full rounds of safety 2) an exemption from liability that ensures the company cant be sued by those who take the vaccine.
the specific safety skipped is two fold. one, and this isnt the most troubling by a long shot, is that at least one ovf the vaccines skipped the animal testing phase.. two, and the most concerning, is the lack of long-term trials during safety tests. This is one of the most important steps for safety (and usually lasts several years). It detects things like ADE which can only be detected through long term studies. ADE is where the effects of getting a vaccine are immunity in the short term (order of months) but severe adverse reaction to infections after 9 months, a year or more. If a vaccine produces ADE then a person who gets infected a year or more into the future will have much **worse** reaction to the disease with higher mortality rates and permanent injury over those who are unvaccinated.
