COVID-19 Vaccine: Is it safe?
I’m sure we’re all aware of the worldwide pandemic we’re in, which ultimately resulted in long quarantines and lost jobs. But — what if I told you we finally have a way out of this? You may be hesitant on taking it, as was I, but here’s why you shouldn’t be.
What is this vaccine, you may be wondering? The vaccine consists of messenger RNA and four lipid nanoparticles, and has a 94.1% efficacy rate. Sounds promising, right?
Jumping into taking this vaccine so soon could seem risky, I know. But ultimately, it could help us out of this never-ending rabbit hole of COVID-19 spikes and uncomfortable-up-the-nose tests.
Fortunately for you, data released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, confirmed that Moderna’s vaccine appeared safe and highly effective in a study of more than 30,000 volunteers.
Now, you could be pondering; how did they make this vaccine so fast?
One of the big answers for that is simply money. They have poured billions of dollars into the development of this vaccine, considering the fact we are in the midst of a pandemic.
Several of the researchers who worked on the vaccine have also previously worked on similar vaccines for diseases like SARS and MERS, so they have trustworthy experience in those fields. We’re in good hands.
