First, hello everyone! Right, left, center, rainbow... My name is... doesn't matter, it doesn't change anything I'll say here, or ask. I'm 55 years old, I don't believe in flat earth, "chemtrails", chipping, antivax and various conspiracy theories... No, quite the opposite. For me, vaccines and antibiotics are one of the greatest achievements of the human mind in the 20th century. They decimated once very contagious and deadly diseases that took their toll mainly among children, but also adults. I'm probably one of those who got vaccinated more often than most in "pre-corona times". Due to the nature of my work (lots of field measurements...), I'm more exposed to infections like tick-borne meningoencephalitis, etc. In the second half of 2019, for example, due to a work injury, I got vaccinated against tetanus. No problem, no second thoughts. But why? Because these are vaccines that have been on the market long enough for me to weigh the risk level - you know, benefits vs harm I might suffer. For example, I have to take a medication regularly that in 10 out of 1000 cases causes your (our...) ankle, wrist, or even spine to snap for "no damn reason". Do you know how much 10 out of 1000 is? That's a whole 1%! And I still decided the risk is acceptable. But in the case of covid, on this "scale" I have only +/- statistics saying my age group has a risk of "kicking the bucket" around 0.001%, from the vaccine ???. How did I get to these three question marks? How many of you know that currently ALL covid-19 vaccines worldwide have only conditional approval (Emergency Use Authorisation, as FDA calls it), both in EU and across the pond and elsewhere? You didn't know? Do you know why? No drug or vaccine can get "full approval" without the "last checkmark" - "long-term side effects, checked". And that requires TWO YEARS! You can't squeeze two years into two weeks, months... To me, two years for checking long-term side effects seems awfully short, but it's some agreement and we have to accept it. But until those two years pass, neither I, you, vaccine makers, let alone some "advisory groups at the RS Government" and the damn politicians, won't know what can happen long-term to those who decided to vaccinate. No dilemmas... I wish all of you who got vaccinated all the best from the heart and keep fingers crossed you have no problems. But I hope you're also capable of at least a bit of common sense and tolerance for those who, for now, rationally reject vaccination with vaccines that currently raise more questions than answers. I've been employed at a scientific research institution for 33 years. One of the first rules, actually principles of science, has always been to doubt everything. That's the basis of progress. Uncritically believing everything on command/wish of someone is the domain of some other field.  Cheers and stay/let's stay healthy. Oh... and a question for immunologists. What is "antibody dependent enhancement – ADE" and when did it appear, especially in connection with mRNA vaccines? What happened to a significant number of test/vaccinated "subjects"? I would post the link myself (not "facebook science", but this site's policy doesn't allow... ).
