Well, I know a senior person, retired epidemiologist who is anti covid vaccine because “no vaccine developed so fast can be safe”.
It hard containing my self from telling her that from her time as an epidemiologist to now, technology has changed and that they’ve studied mRNA vaccines for a long time so fighting a particular strain of virus is easier as the whole process has already been successfully tested. However, her family trusts her, she has the credentials and I don’t, so it should be up to another epidemiologist with proper credentials to explain that. Not me.
It’s like an old engineer saying that current structural calculations in buildings can’t be trusted because it used to take months/years of hard work and now they can be done in a fraction of the time with computers.
