As an extra added confirmation that I think my reasoning was sound, one of the tests I wanted to see _was_ later done, and it _did_ come out the way I suspected it might, and wanted more investigation into. So I am very confident in my understanding of this situation.

I, too, have complaints about people's behavior, but it has little to do with vaccination and more to do with mask wearing and other precautions, since those may be more important in the long run depending on what happens in the evolution of the virus.

When you take a flight, do you research all the engineering of the aircraft so you can know every part that can fail, and how it can fail, and how that can potentially kill you? Or do you just trust that it's literally the safest form of travel?

Stop for a second and think about asking that question the first year airplanes were invented.

You mentioned leeches dude. It's a fair question.

What's the question? Whether leeches were a good medical treatment for any of the conditions they were used for? The answer is "no".

If the question is, "don't you think trusting airplanes in 2021 is the same as trusting mRNA vaccines in 2021", the answer is "of course not" because the amount of testing we've had in aviation is many, many orders of magnitude more than the testing we've had on mRNA.

So _any_ rational person could rightly conclude that trusting an airplane in 2021 is safer than trusting an mRNA vaccine in 2021. Which by the way, if it's a 737 MAX, is maybe not the best call anymore either :) But that's a separate ball of wax.

No. You'd have to go all the way back to the first vaccine for that. This isn't the first vaccine. Just like those aren't aren't first aircraft. Sure some can be problematic as you mentioned. Anything can. But I think desperate times call for desperate measures.

For mRNA it really is the first vaccine :) It works nothing like the vaccines we've all been getting for decades!

("First" in this case is not really accurate, but, this hasn't really been attempted this way before. And despite the fact that I wanted to challenge the narrative of trusting everything, I _do_ really like mRNA vaccine tech.)

(I feel like there is probably some room for improvement in some aspects, but that is obviously what you would expect from newly public technologies, they refine over time as they are rolled out in practice.)
