My Lazy Opinion on the Wuhan Coronavirus Vaccines In General

DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer, medical professional, or political expert.

Literally anything, even Skyrim lore, can be politicized, so if you're offended by political posts, please read something else.

Various vaccines against the Wuhan coronavirus were rolled out to the world starting in December 2020. While, to some, this is a major milestone in the war against the Wuhan coronavirus, to others, it's just an overhyped occurrence that matters little in the long run.

Unlike typical vaccines which typically get tested for years, the Wuhan coronavirus vaccines finished testing in only a few months due to emergency demand all over the world. Some argue that the scientific papers behind these vaccines are credible enough to be worth the shot; others say that the vaccines were simply rolled out too quickly.

In the Philippines in particular, a scandal about the Dengvaxia dengue vaccine is still ongoing; it was the cause of death of over, I think, 100 schoolchildren. Some say Dengvaxia didn't finish all its tests, which is why the general Filipino population extends its fear to the Wuhan coronavirus vaccines. My parents, in particular, don't want us to get the vaccines yet because of this.

I see a lot of articles saying that even those who have been vaccinated still need to follow...what do you call them, minimum health standards? Y'know, distance yourself and wear a mask and all that stuff.

Some other articles say that you need to be vaccinated to have access to basic services like being able to go to the supermarket. I'm uncertain, however, as to whether or not this applies in the Philippines. I hope not, especially now that the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) has allowed the re-opening of establishments like cinemas.

Anyway, time to stop beating around the bush 'cause I'm lazy and my brain is fried.

I won't take any of the vaccines for now. I simply feel like it's not worth the risk. Again, these vaccines were rolled out way too early. I want to see what happens over the months to people of various races and living conditions.

As far as I know, I haven't seen any complications about any of the vaccines that have been distributed in the Philippines. High-value people like the Presidential Security Group members were among the first to be vaccinated.
