Immune systems aren't really that good at fighting diseases, which is why we have vaccines for the deadliest/most common ones @Dank_Furry_Pirate @Kayox

and yeah, **up to** five years

but it can be shorter if the final phase with irl trials is shorter

also if we already know similar viruses

I'm still gonna wait for other to try it first

@Lich King if immune systems weren't good at fighting diseases then everyone would be dead

Because vaccines used to not exist

mind you, smallpox has a 30% mortality

But with a weak immune system..

yeah so a lot more people used to die

they're good and get better
but with some diseases our immune system needs help

than now

30% mortality among healthy individuals dude

that means that out of 10, three die.

every ten

I don't think vaccines are bad
but rushing one
I'll just wait a little bit

the plague was even worse

no, you're right

but the irl trials that I keep referring to involve a test group of 20-30k volunteers that get a check in return for trying it out

a check you say?

that's not new, this method of vaccine making has been in the works for more than half a century

yes

I distinctly remember that in the summer they were looking for volunteers to try it

1200 USD if you do

up front

Yeah they're talking about paying 1500 dollars if you take the vaccine

again, volunteers to have as large a pool as possible

so why the monetary incentive anyway?

Because it's not safe and no one would take it under normal cicumstances

because it's an experimental vaccine

lol

Vaccines don't cause autism

mind you, the first three phases after the vaccine is made are to ensure the basics - it works, it doesn't kill you, and it doesn't have any bad side effects

and the scientists themselves are usually the first test subjects

depending on the person you might have unintended side effects
but that's rare

Autism genetically occurs as a result of vaccines because a parent with that gene would die off under normal circumstances without the vaccine

right, exactly

Survival of the fittest

so what I keep pointing to is that to find as many rare side effects, you need as large a pool as possible

You can't give someone autism with a shot
