So you think that all side effects of substances are either noticeable in the first year or not at all?

Have you heard of DDT?



I must have missed the study that showed the long-term side effects of the vaccine were determined by the long-term side effects of DDT

if you would be so kind as to link it here...


This really isn’t hard to understand.

In the past, some substances were thought to be safe, but turned out not to be. The “it’s safe” period of time was longer than a year.

Ergo it is reasonable to assume that we can’t know all of the side effects of current novel vaccines. It doesn’t mean there will be any, but it doesn’t mean there won’t be either.

That’s how science works.


actually, science and logic do not work in the manner of "in the past, X did Z, therefore Y will also do Z, QED"

see, in that example, you made up a rule that anything you want will cause Z, but there's no actual scientific basis for the rule

you have to actually prove Y will do Z, you can't just claim something else did Z, therefore anything can do Z


I’m not proving anything. Simply saying that we lack data and if we go by past examples, we have a reason to be cautious.

Again, you lack a basic understanding of the scientific method.


you are correct, you are not proving anything

to wit, you have not proven there is a good reason to worry about widespread significant long-term side effects of the COVID vaccines -- specifically, DDT is not a past example of a vaccine resembling any of the COVID vaccines

the lack of evidence pointing to widespread, significant, long-term side-effects so far, however, is evidence enough for us to lean in that direction

I do, however, support your right to avoid the vaccine, as well as your right to avoid any place or activity that requires those present to have it, so at least there's that
