I have nothing against them

 

But all this they are doing is business and its for them to make money. Its a good and useful business that is helping ppl rn so thats not a bad thing, but good or bad impact their motive is still business.

 

So im not gonna praise them, they are not doing anything out of the goodness of their hearts 

 

They give us our life saving vaccines and in return our governments give them our tax dollars for each dose. A mutually beneficial business transaction

not just Pfizer.The whole pharmaceutical sphere turned into a money making machine.

The Johnson and Johnson vaccine was a flop, have you read up on it? It was very rushed as well. I'm no antivaxxer, but some of the vaccines are dangerous and risky.

J&J vaccine is not a flop. How dare you.

if a 1 in a 1,000,000 chance of getting any serious side effects from a vaccine is considered "risky", then you probably shouldn't take any type of medication ever. Literally none. You also shouldn't fly on a plane, nor get in a vehicle in the city. Honestly, you probably shouldn't even go outside, as you have roughly the same odds of being hit by some sort of motor vehicle.

Lastly, I would probably just spend all my money on lottery tickets if I were you. It would be "risky" not to try and win the one in a million jackpot.

Totally agree with this, tbh it would be too risky to even step outside your front door if you’re worried about those stats

this thread is a mess and should just be closed 

OT: I'm glad that science, no matter what the intention, is saving lives, or going to save lives.

A couple of things I feel like people are misunderstanding about this pill:

-It's NOT a preventive pill, it's a treatment in case you get covid

-It WILL have side effects, just like any pills, so don't start buying into the "but it causes X effect!!!!!" bullshit that will probably erupt at some point

This! There literally isn't to my knowledge any vaccine or medication or pill or whatever that doesn't have at least one side effect. The most basic over-the-counter pills we take every day all have possible side effects ranging from common to rare idk why this is new to some people.

Just a friendly reminder that the vaccine was developed by BionTech, not Pfizer. Pfizer is the muscle of the operation. Don't get too excited by the pill yet. The quality of the vaccine has nothing to do with them.
