If we can’t develop a vaccine in the course of a year 70 years later, there is something wrong. Obviously, (and is the case with any R&D project or new technology), you start off cautious with the implementation and gradually dial back the precautions as new information from the field becomes available and as more testing is conducted.
Nobody in their right mind would start off by pushing the limits in terms of dosage and storage precautions, this would benefit nobody.
Get your head out of your ass. If you aren’t comfortable taking the vaccine, don’t take it. For gods sake, quit spreading misinformation and I’ll formed opinions based on **** you’ve either read on social media or heard from a bunch of washed up old men in coffee shops.
Sorry to come off strong here but I’m tired of the same old rhetoric from a certain demographic along the lines of, ‘how can we trust a vaccine that was developed so quickly...’ The answer is that you can choose to live in this decade and recognize the advantages of technology and the benefits of teams working around the world TOGETHER on this as opposed to the 1940’s Polio vaccine development approach consisting of a few people working in separate facilities with little to no information sharing from lab to lab. The alternative is to live in the past and die in it too.

You gotta take it down a notch or 10 man. I can understand the concerns by some about the vaccine. Wanting to KNOW that it's safe is completely understandable. Let's not forget, this is being administered under emergency use authorization. This isn't a vaccine that has been studied over a longer period to be safe and effective.
