All truth – no misinformation

I would like to analyse an Internet comment that was made to the question: “Do you intend to get your children vaccinated against Covid-19?” The comment was this:

“NO. It is unknown what side effect there will be after 5-10 years. There was no such vaccine so far and I don't care what side effects there are right away. I care what side effects there will be after several years and then one will be able to make an informed decision.”

1. “It is unknown what side effect there will be after 5-10 years.” TRUTH
2. “There was no such vaccine so far” TRUTH
3. “I don't care what side effects there are right away” PERSONAL OPINION that is NOT MISINFORMATION
4. “I care what side effects there will be after several years” PERSONAL OPINION that is NOT MISINFORMATION
5. “Then one will be able to make an informed decision” TRUTH

I can't believe that so many people claim that the anti-Covid-19 vaccines are safe without caring about possible side effects that may become pronounced only after several years! Totally unbelievable! What happened to the common sense?! Did it die on Covid-19?

Well, some “important people” already realised the mistake they were doing and that they could be scapegoated because of it later, so they already changed their rhetoric. Now they claim that “benefits outweigh the risk”, but this is still illogical! To properly assess the risk you have to know what can happen after several years! A short term risk is NOT the same as overall risk!

People will never forget the “important people” their rhetoric if the vaccines turn out to be harmful in the long run, especially to children and adult people without general health problems.
