A. These vaccines were not rushed. They have been in the making, the technology is not new, companies like Moderna, names comes from the word mRNA, were established years ago. Moderna in 2010. They have been working on vaccines, mRNA etc. That's the reason why they were able to make these so quickly, they didn't fall from the sky.
B. We know that some people will have a reaction to vaccines. Why? Well parts of viruses sometimes resemble our own proteins and can trigger an autoimmune reaction for example. You can get GBS, Guillain Barre syndrome, from the flu shot. Well you can get it from the flu itself, the common cold etc. A viral illness can trigger it.
I have to say when I read how many members here went ahead and got vaccinated, it honestly makes me happy. There is no reason to risk dying from this shitty virus and doing something to protect yourselves is the way to go. I didnt get vaccinated for altruistic reasons, I did it to protect myself.
