The goal of the Covid vaccines, pushed by Trump's Operation Warp Speed, was to slow the transmission of the virus and lessen the risk of hospitalization and death. And the vaccine does all of that.
As to how much testing and we don't know... Hundreds of millions of doses have been given just in the US, far more than any other vaccine so there is greatly more data on risk vs benefit than any other vaccine ever licensed, but that is not good enough for some people apparently.
You certainly recall how we were warned that if we got the vaccine we would all be dead in a year or two, or become magnetic, or Bill Gates would control our thoughts or whatever. It never ends. |
When they do away with the FDA, EPA etc. we won't have to worry, will we?
