Revised opinion on Covid vaccine safety

[Greg]

If the vaccine had been safe and effective, there would be dead silence here about the antivax sentiment being wrong.

And if my grandmother had testicles, she'd be my grandfather.

In an alternative universe where you would have been right, then we would have been wrong.  What a dumbass comment.  We are in this universe where you were wrong.

We didn't say the vaccine was not safe and effective because we were guessing on a coin flip on were a going on a hunch.  We said it because common sense tells, those who possess it, that no novel medicine rapidly produced and rolled out without a suitable time period to test it can possibly claim to be either of those.  We knew "safe and effective" was a lie.  It had to be. There was no way to know that in such a short space of time.

'Bum-rushed jab of unknown efficacy and unknown safety' was the truth.  'Only take it if you are 5% or more likely to die of Covid', was much closer to the truth.
