Pfizer admits vaccine not tested to prevent transmission

[SueDonim]

You are comparing very well established vaccines with one that had to be developed in a hurry CT.  It isn't a reasonable comparison.  In due course, with more time to perfect their vaccines, I am quite sure the covid vaccine will be right up there with the rest of your list... 

Until that time as we were all told and you mention, it was our "best protection" and that it would "reduce severity", etc. 

No lies or conspiracy there either...  

You're also suggesting your experience of covid with mild symptoms is typical - lets not forget 6.5 million people died from it.  It is downright insensitive to all of them to call it 'mild' and use it as an excuse for your antivaxx nonsense

There you have admitted it, it was developed in a hurry and in turn tested in a hurry. Normally with trials they will follow up not only months later, but years later to see what side effects are.
Its impossible to say its safe when you dont allow this time to pass.
How many billion guinea pigs received this?
The excuse I keep hearing is that its been given to millions now and we know its "safe"

The facts are that this vaccine did nothing do stop the virus spreading across our population and the only reason we did not have the hospitals overloaded was because it was the less dangerous delta and omicron variants, which ironically the vaccine didnt protect us for.

6.5 million people is not much at all on a global scale.
Most of those had existing health issues and advancing age anyway.
What about all the people who have died from myocarditis, blood clots, and other heart issues?
We have death rates on the rise, funeral homes being overloaded and the undertakers are having to deal with unexplained blood clots while embalming the bodies.

You go around in circles on the same old-same old...

Some parts of the process for the current vaccination had a degree of short-cutting because of the urgency needed but the development of the mRNA vaccine is far from new. This is from a previous post of mine when I spent far too much time looking up data and information which you clearly don't read because you are busy looking at the bfg garbage.

"Work on mRNA dates from the 60s. Flu vaccines were trialled in mice in the 1990s and rabies vaccine in humans from 2013. By 2018 "US-based scientists said that mRNA vaccines represented a promising alternative to conventional vaccine approaches because of their high potency, capacity for rapid development and potential for low-cost manufacture and safe administration." Covid 19 came after that.".

The vaccine we have did give a degree of protection to the variants we have had. Without it we would have had hospitals even more overwhelmed than they were (potentially one of the reasons for increase in overall death rate!).

You think that 6.5m people is not a lot on a global scale. That's because so many were vaccinated and either didn't catch the disease or didn't die because of it. It's less than a 1% death rate from those infected. In the early days the estimates look like they were up to 6% mortality. So vaccines saved up to 39 million lives. And that doesn't count in those who would have been permanently disabled from long covid - a number that we'll never know.
