There is NO guarantee. All we have are lots of people working to learn how to do something and recommending that the vaccine is safer than not taking the vaccine.

As long as there is no law requiring vaccinations, then people can make up their own minds. Personally, I would like to see vaccinations REQUIRED by law.

But, that is not going to happen, so all these arguments more or less sound like an old couple just repeating the same old arguments they have been having for the past 40 years. Round and round the argument goes, and nothing new is ever said, and neither side is willing to actually listen to the other side.

I would be fine with required vaccinations. Just like seat belts and other reasonable requirements.
