Can you give an example of any vaccine that was found to have adverse effects 5, 10, 15 years down the road that are more dangerous than the disease the vaccine prevents?

Would you wait 15 years before using a new antibiotic if it were to be the only thing likely to cure your infection?
There are effective treatments available. The vaccine is not the only option.

They have been using mRNA therapy in cancer trials for 10 years, without long term effects.
One of my concerns, we don’t know how it will impact those with autoimmune disease or those genetically susceptible to autoimmune disease.

Well if you're allergic, pregnant, or immune deficient then you can't take the vaccine

This may outrage liberals but America will never be 100% vaccinated.

Why would that outrage liberals?

Some pregnant women are getting the shot- I saw a pregnant doctor talking about it the other day.

Same as any other vaccine where certain vulnerable populations can't get it. If enough of us do, we can protect them.

Saw a woman wearing scrubs in Home Depot last night, with no mask on.

If anyone understands how much misinformation and propaganda is being created and spread about this, it's those who work in the industry. One doesn't need to be a virologist or microbiologist to understand that masks designed to stop liquids squirting from patients during surgery won't stop the invisible particles escaping with your breath.

I've talked to a lot of doctors. Mine, plus all of my mom's doctors, which is a lot. None are anywhere near as concerned about this as the general public is. None think the media's fear mongering is justified. One of them thinks it swept through Los Angeles back in February, as his son lives in a dorm at UCLA and the whole building had what was probably C19 back then.

Anyone who willingly takes this vaccine before we have more information about its effects has let their fear control their logic. All the steps that were rushed through exist for a reason. That reason is your safety. Now, all those controls were either removed or severely diminished. Do you really want to take that? I hear now that it doesn't even protect you, yet nobody's bothered to explain what the point of it is, then.

There are about a hundred reasons not to get it, at least right now, and very, very few reasons that justify taking the risks associated with getting it.

The vaccine was not tested on pregnant women so these women are really being guinea pigs along with their unborn children. I don’t now why they’d take that risk.

Don't want to take the vaccine? Fine, don't. No one is forcing anyone right now. That just leaves more for those who do want and intend to take it.

But, if you're going to spread misinformation when there is published scientific documentation that shows mRNA has been in R&D over a couple decades and wasn't just invented on the fly or on a whim, don't be surprised when that misinformation is addressed. The covid vaccine is based on science, even if you don't understand the science.

They are just being one horse ponies.

In other vaccines, such as the hepatitis B vaccine, an individual protein made by that organism is injected instead to trigger a similar response.

mRNA vaccines, however, trick the body into making the viral protein itself which, in turn, triggers an immune response.
I would prefer the former rather than the latter. The less that it intrudes on the body's mechanisms the better. The side effects may be the same since they're primarily an expression of the body's immune system.

There are no 100% effective treatments. That includes ivermectin. Claiming 100% effectiveness without randomized trials is irresponsible.

Not everyone wearing scrubs is in the health care industry.

We do not have 15 years to casually wait and see whether there are "long term adverse effects" from these vaccines, and there is really no reason to expect there will be.

"All the steps that were rushed through" were still done.

Please list the reasons not to get it. Right now younger children and pregnant women are classes that are on hold and people with severe allergies need to be aware of the risk of anaphylaxis.

Maybe because they personally perceive the risk of the disease is greater than the risk of the vaccine?
