I hesitated to note 'occasional negative press'. News media haven't really criticized any of the vaccines. In the extremely rare cases where there had been a cardiac problem in younger people with the AZ vaccine, or another problem with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, or with the effectiveness of the Chinese or Russian vaccines, these were all incredibly rare events. 8 billion doses of vaccines have been administered. The number of people who took a blood thinner to cope afterward with an adverse cardiac reaction is miniscule few dozen people, by contrast with 8 billion doses administered. (That's a metric, perhaps.)

Sure I'm happy to admit maybe it is safe enough. But that's one problem of many with this entire covid narrative. You leave no room for doubt of the experts, you're like talking to a wall.

I believe it's very important to be sceptical. I waited until the latest possible time to get each vaccine, in order to wait for news of the potential side effects. I do the same with software updates. One problem and benefit of any technology today is that the complexity of its development involves numerous moving resources. There are of course crooks manipulating COVID information. What they cannot do is change the science.

There is however an impressively complex campaign of pseudoscience propaganda about genetic modification that requires some knowledge of science to discuss, but is also totally unrelated to the impact of mRNA vaccines. Still, it's a lot of detailed material for the anti-vax community to learn and believe in, and I wonder why they absolutely must go to that much trouble.
