A member asked:
How do we know that there was adequate testing to ensure the covid-19 vaccine is safe and that there won't be any unanticipated long-term effects?

COVID 19 vaccine.: Agree with Dr. Rutledge. Even if done at WARP speed, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have undergone stringent testing. Astrazenea vaccine is still being tested. There is significant relative safety. Based on similar vaccines from the past, it makes it very likely that they will not have long-term effects. They haven't been around long enough to show longitudinal effects with actual patients.
