Do you actually expect people to believe with a straight face that the covid vaccines are a failure? While effectiveness against transmission declined after 6 months, effectiveness against hospitalization and death remained high, especially when boosted. By conservative counts the vaccines have saved on the order of 2-3 million American lives, but who cares, right?

You clearly don't understand the difference between a therapeutic drug and a vaccine. You realize that vaccine doesn't actually attack any virus, right? It is an immune system trigger. It triggers and goes away - mRNA is insanely fragile, it is why it took so many years to make an effective vaccine from it. All known negative side effects for any vaccine in history is within two months. There is no biological mechanism for anything longer. Post-covid vaccine safety survelliance was done by a wide variety of independent university and international labs, all showing the safety profile is as previously stated. Stop hiding behind your lack of knowledge of biology or chemistry as an excuse to spout BS.

That a few countries have decided against spending the $40/shot for boosters for young people is an economic decision that IMHO ignores the impact of long covid on young people, to their peril. There has never been a legitimate study that shows for any age/gender cohort that is more dangerous to take the vaccine than to not.

BTW one of the things I actually learned when studying evolution in our educational system is that scientists have never been able to successfully produce effective vaccines for coronaviruses like the common cold, because they mutate too fast.

I initially thought that it looked like there have been breakthroughs in the last ten years. But turns out my science education was correct, and the sloppy propaganda cranked out by the pharma industry, the government agencies they own, and the media they pay off was wrong!

There are tons of cases where the scientific authorities have said something was safe only to find it was not - especially those in the US government that work hand in hand with the companies they are supposed to be regulating. This process is political, not scientific, and I am not making any point about the biology or chemistry involved so you can stop hiding behind that.

Also - many countries don't recommend the vaccines for either those under 30, under 18, or recommend Pfizer over Moderna due to risks of side effects. Why do you think they do that?
