Researchers have studied mRNA vaccines for decades, in particular, because they can be developed in a laboratory setting with readily available materials. It wasn't new or untested
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were never used on people in a large-scale phase 4 setting by an independent/unbiased organisation before 2020, as far as I am aware. So we could not have known how these 'vaccines' were going to affect people in the longer term! (we still don't, as it still hasn't been even 10 years yet and, in case you didn't know, it takes on average 20 years to get from idea to bedside, for every new treatment!)
If you can prove otherwise, by sending me doi's for pre-2020 studies on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, I'd love to see them!
Each 'normal' vaccine is different and needs to go through
their own thorough clinical trail (unbiased, and not by the pharmaceutical company who makes them!!!), so should the COVID therapies have been done.
Sure, these were unprecedented circumstances, and we had to act fast, so we used knowledge
based on previous findings, fair enough... but that is not the same as 'safe and effective' as claimed by the producers of the product and endorsed by governments. Governments who then took over those pharmaceutical companies' liabilities! Why? Why was that necessary? Did the pharmaceutical companies not have enough faith in their own products to risk their own liability as usual?
If you are distributing a treatment/profilaxicis/vaccine/whatever on an 'emergency basis', then at least
honestly inform the public of what they need to know and honestly tell them the risk of not having had a full clinical trial yet alongside any benefits.
I hear in other countries people didn't even have to sign a 'informed consent'-form to get the jab! Probably because there was no 'informed' consent! You need informed consent for such situations, and let people decide their own personal risk and make their own personal decision. This did not happen! There was a lot of gaslighting people into having to take this jab for 'granny's sake'.
Even kids were given the jab, even though they had a very, very low risk level of even getting sick if they got the virus.
We didn't know whether the risk of the jab really outweighed the risk of the illness for that age group, especially once it was clear that the jabs would only work for a few months at a time and then needed to be boosted. But the kids had to take it, because if they did 'then they
wouldn't be able to pass it on'. (a blatant lie, and I work at a university and KNEW it was not correct at the time here in the UK, so why did they still go ahead with it in the US?!)
But even if they had not lied, and the kids could have stopped the spread, should we possibly (as we were not sure at the time how safe and effective these were AT ALL) sacrifice the future health of our children to save us, old people? Give them/their parents the choice - sure, in that case maybe... but gaslighting them with 'guilt tricks' and mandates etc. and not telling people the full story,...that just goes too far.
Can someone please explain the moral/ethics in that?
