So you're telling me that a vaccine for a sickness with basically 1 year R&D to production turnaround time doesn't cause you to think twice, when a regular prescription can have side effects and need to be changed?

Think of any experience you've had with anti depressants or reoccurring drug as a prescription: it's frequent that people have these changed out because of the adverse side effects or lack of effectiveness. The joke used to be that a commercial for medication would quickly read out side effects on TV for 20 seconds straight.

What I'm saying is the complete lack of any critical thinking before taking the vaccine is disturbing.

No because it came off of over a decade of research, the mRNA vaccine delivery had been in development for years, COVID is also a type of virus related to other viruses they had developed or were developing vaccines for.

This was not some weekend project dumped out with no thought.
