Abortion-tainted vaccines

If you read through all of the posts and comments made here over the past year+ regarding COVID and vaccines, I think you will find non-credulous and nuanced views expressed by the pro-vaccination people here. But when it comes to lack of safety for the COVID vaccines, I think you are 100% wrong. As I have said before, the FDA and CDC have given too much emphasis to vaccine safety, likely at the cost of several hundred thousand lives in the U.S. It’s always been recognized that vaccines might have adverse effects, but the danger of COVID is larger, at least for older age groups. So the question is not whether the vaccine is safe or not, but how safe it is compared to the actual disease. And for older age groups, the results show that the vaccine definitely saves lives. My complaint is not that the public health establishment has erred in letting unsafe vaccines be administered but rather that they delayed for several months the approval of vaccines to willing takers during a time when a thousand Americans were dying from COVID every day.

Do I think people should be forced to take substances into their body? No. Do I think it is right for the government and private organizations to restrict schooling, employment, etc. to only those who are vaccinated? Yes, in principle, and also in practice if the numbers show that vaccination reduces transmission of disease.
