    Police believe CDC shooter thought COVID vaccine made him sick: ReportPolice Believe CDC Shooter Thought COVID Vaccine Made Him Sick: Report - Newsweek

    Reports that deceased shooter believed the Covid vaccine had sickened him. Two possibilities I guess:

    1) He and others (right-wing media, podcasters, some posters here) are right. The vaccines were rushed out, not tested enough and could cause serious side effects like this guy experienced - including murdering the heroic cop that responded from the neighboring county. I do believe the President claimed it was a victory for his administration.

    2) All the “negative” reports about the vaccines is/was hogwash and those same sources that spread misinformation now have blood on their hands.

    We have a dataset of over a billion people, it’s one of the most studied medications in history, we know exactly what the vaccines did and didn’t do. People can debate the overall idea of using the word “vaccine”, but the effects to date really aren’t debatable.

    All new medications and drugs go through at minimum, three trial phases. So did the COVID vaccine. There were several reasons why the vaccine was fast tracked.

    One, the inactive ingredients in the vaccine had already been tested. No reason to test them again.

    Two, the vaccine skipped to the top of top of list when results were ready to be studied and released. Under normal circumstances, it's first come first serve for results, and the waiting period is often 9 months or more.

    Three, the mRNA vaccine requires only the isolation of the right mRNA strain. Traditional vaccines takes injecting live viruses into thousands of eggs until you find a variant with the right mRNA that won't make people sick. This process could take years, versus weeks.

    The idea the COVID vaccine wasn't tested is false. The idea it's dangerous is also false. Hundreds of millions, if not billions were vaccinated. And world health has shown no ill effects.

    How do you explain my double-salsa’ing? COVID vax only makes sense.

    Have to be honest, I’m considering going Full Queso too.

    What is perplexing to me is that those who are antivax are obsessed with it. It is truly like a religion. It seems to be the most important thing in their life.

    Every drug in the known universe has potentially awful side effects, except for any of the covid vaccines of course.

    I especially like the drug commercials that tell you not to take it if you are allergic to it
