Yep. Smart policy is to allow the unvaccinated who are fearful, frozen, or made a bad decision before to wait and now can't admit it, to cross the line *in a face-saving manner.* Pry that group away from the ideological, loud, rage-inducing anti-vaxxers. https://twitter.com/PaffyRalmeiro/status/1449007804648468480 …

A more valid concern is whether we are picking up rare *but quick* adverse effects now—very rare events require large sample sizes to find the signal. So, yes, there is an enormous effort to find those, but also, the point is exactly that: they are very, very rare.

When I was deciding I tried to think of a med that 1) you only take once or twice 2) does nothing for 6+ months but pops up years later to cause harm. I still haven’t found one. Every side effect I’ve found is either quick, or chronic. But I can think of viruses that do (Eg HIV).
