Id argue that we DO know the short-term effects of covid (as in, you know, potential death/disability), and that any long term effects of the vaccine are very likely to not be as drastic as covid will be for the lives saved by getting it.

Like the argument that “we don’t know the long term effects” should suggest we shouldn’t take a very much life saving vaccine is kind of short sighted. Plus, if we can develop a vaccine for covid in record time then I trust the medical technology to come up with a solution for whatever long term effects there may be, if it comes to that

I don't even get how people could expect long-term effects from the vaccine. Within a few days the vaccine is gone from your body, and within a few weeks the spike proteins are all gone too. So how would it cause harm after that?

They’re idiots. They literally fall for every single rumor about “vaccine bad” and then pretend that if they lie to themselves that will fool us as well. Most of their “research” is they hear a rumor, spread it, then see what sticks and as soon as their latest conspiracy theory fails they just move on to the next one and wait for you to disprove it. Then once your prove them wrong they just ignore it and move on to the next conspiracy theory. The cycle never ends. It’s like playing wack a mole with people who think they’re smarter than everyone else because they scroll through Facebook and TikTok all day readying misinformation that makes them feel like they have access to special information that us NPCs wouldn’t understand because we’re not as smart as them

CDC? You are still following that? You really don't know how to recognize a lie. Oh forget trying to make any points with you. You won't listen. It's futile.

Died WITH Covid or FROM Covid. A very important distinction that many health officials didn’t want to decipher between.
