We don't know what unintended consequences, if anything, the vaccine is going to end up causing in 10 or even 25 years later.

We also don't know what the effects of virus infection are 10 or 25 years later, but we do know vaccination reduces infection rate and symptom severity.

You could have said at one point, we don't know what Vioxx will do 10 or 15 years later but we know untreated rheumatoid arthritis is just going to keep getting worse.

Anyways, it's not something you can just answer away. We won't know till we know, and that's going to take time.

Although I imagine most people you're arguing with about covid vaccines don't generally particularly care about the pharmaceutical industry in a normal year, but suddenly they really care about something that might happen in a quarter century.

It's still valid though, and here's my thinking. Lets imagine a worst case scenario. We see no ill effects until 5 generations in and then suddenly from some unintended consequence of events there's something catastrophic. Dog faced mutant babies, the whole lot of them. Every single baby comes out with an ugly snoutful of gnashing teeth. And after so long, pretty much everyone is going to be vaccinated except the !click !click !tok tribe in the rain forest, so the only intelligent life on Earth is soon going to be a bunch of savages and the mole people.

We could use a backup in case that, or something less ridiculous, happens.

When you die alone, like the unlovable racist monster that you are, how long do you think it will take them to find your body?

Calling isolated tribes savages isn't racist, it's the very definition of the term. Savages - not domesticated or cultivated; wild.

And you think I'm the hateful one. Anyways, insults are not particularly relevant to the discussion at hand.

You're mad because you know I'm right.
