Look, the AstraZeneca vaccine IIRC uses older tech that has been used for other vaccines. You're vaccinated, aren't you? The science used for the vaccine is known. The ONLY unknown is the long term consequences of using these vaccines. And here's the thing - vaccines made with that tech are known, and unless you've started growing new limbs or gotten illnesses directly linked to those vaccines, these are probably much safer than the Moderna/Pfizer ones that were being pushed out the past two months. I refuse to take those vaccines because the tech has not been tested for long term use. Someone else can be the test subject. There's also a fourth vaccine being made by Johnson & Johnson that is very much like an old school vaccine as well. One dose, uses a "weakened" virus that your body attacks to create the antibodies to further stop infections. I refuse to take the Moderna/Pfizer ones because I already have issues with my immune system (I have seborrheic dermatitis and need Xyzal/Zyrtec to keep myself from breaking out into itches) - we don't know what these particular vaccines will do to immune systems because the tech itself is untested. Of all the vaccines you are at least somewhat safer with the AstraZeneca one, but I also understand your worry as well. I am going to wait for the J&J vaccine and wait about a year or two before even taking that one because we have ZERO idea as to what the long term consequences are of taking this. Leftists are trying to force vaccinations by saying "Well, it's better to get a vaccine and suffer side effects versus the known side effects of possibly getting COVID with long term symptoms/damage it can do." Well fuck, it sounds like with either case we're fucked, but I'll take my chances and wait for this to mature. I'm not gonna beta test a fucking vaccine.
