It's crazy how many people did argue with me, that the vax went through enough testing, and they didn't get, why I said, that "decades of testing" was needed, especially for a new technology.
Some side effects do take decades to discover. It's not a conspiracy theory or a fucking rocket science.
@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty I literally stopped taking flu vaccines a long time ago and I can't feel the difference. I only took them back then because I had no choice as my mom is the most pro-vaccine person out there.
@xianc78 @LukeAlmighty my mom only vaccinated all of us with the absolutely required ones for us to go to public school. the pediatrician actually got mad at her for not doing everything apparently. we never really got flu shots but i remember the one year we did, ALL of us got the flu and were basically on the floor in the living room in a big blanket pile for the next few days. it was miserable.
@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty I think my parents' health insurance required us to get every vaccine available. I just remember going for check-ups I always stressed out because if the doctor said that there was a new vaccine available, my Mom or Dad would've said yes to it.
Flu vaccines weren't a problem because for a while, there were nasal spray vaccines for kids.
And while not technically vaccines, the only shots my parents regret giving me were allergy shots (used to test for allergies) only because I was being jabbed repeatedly and my dad didn't like seeing me in pain. I was only five years old at the time.

No new medical technology is ready to be deployed on the entire population.
@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy If you think the COVID vax is bad, wait until they mandate actual genetic modifications for climate change.
@LukeAlmighty the testing that was done on it and why people say it was able to come out so fast is that there have been other types of coronavirus in the past, sometimes being the common flu. so they had something to build on, but even then the flu vaccines themselves have like a 50% efficacy all the time and some people still get sick because they get the flu shot (i know i have).
