What's the point of this? The people who already believe the vaccine is safe already know it. Those that don't believe it's safe aren't gonna read this OR the report. They'll claim it's some sort of propaganda.

It's important simply to do just for the benefit of science going forward. We need to look at the long term effects of medicines. Usually we do that prior to release. It also protects you from the propoganda. Someone may throw out crazy statistics at you but you'll have this study in your back pocket so you can be like "yeah it's crazy" and dismiss don't debate.

And try not to get too downtrodden with humanity. Not everyone is a too far gone. Some are just a little lost.

The fact that "believe" is the operating word here is why medical science should be spread.

Misinformation works though. Antivaxer are rentlenless and they are always releasing studies to prove their lies. Combine that with social media algorithms that love controversy and this shit gets deadly.

To put it in perspective, the USA could easily have more people die of covid this year than fentanyl ODs but everyone is acting like the battle is over.

There are people who will state internet article's titles as facts. so it's good to fight misinformation by information.

I like to be optimistic and believe every article erodes their confidence in "alternative medicine".
