There are plenty of people who suffered less from Covid after getting vax and a good many of us who never got it at all. Agree with the flu shot comparisons which is accurate enough and as the technology develops mRNA could be a pathway to great things.
For me much rather try and minimize the effects should I get covid than suffer the long term aftereffects so many around me had endured. Most of them were otherwise healthy and active before and their struggle to fully recover is ongoing and unpleasant Originally Posted by DNinja69
The first mRNA vaccines were used in humans in 2013, prior to that testing and development was active for years. We just didn't need a mass vax program until Covid hit.
