I got a few questions to anyone who is capable of answering them with a shred of knowledge about medicine? Maybe a long shot but worth a crack.
Questions at the bottom.
Not really interested in anti vaxx opinions.
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services .Gov website www.vaccines.gov vaccines go through years of testing.
I'll share a few segments from the website:
How are vaccines tested for safety?
Every licensed and recommended vaccine goes through years of safety testing including:
Before a vaccine is ever recommended for use, it’s tested in labs. This process can take several years. FDA uses the information from these tests to decide whether to test the vaccine with people.
During a clinical trial, a vaccine is tested on people who volunteer to get vaccinated. Clinical trials start with 20 to 100 volunteers, but eventually include thousands of volunteers. These tests take several years and answer important questions like:
1. Is anyone here not concerned with a rushed product/solution?
2. Why does it usually take several years for vaccine approval? What stages of the process are being skipped?
3. Would you personally be happy to give your kids a rushed vaccine that's not gone through the vigorous long thorough process?
These are questions from a parent who like most others here wants to see the tail end of Coronavirus and step back into reality.
I'm not for or against vaccines, my kids have been immunised with all the recommended ones up to date. I understand the importance of them, I'm just concerned.

Every licensed and recommended vaccine goes through years of safety testing including:
- Testing and evaluation of the vaccine before it’s licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended for use by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Monitoring the vaccine’s safety after it is recommended for infants, children, or adults

- Is the vaccine safe?
- What dose (amount) works best?
- How does the immune system react to it?
