How is this a good argument?
Every vaccine is a different vaccine when it is first developed. Has a different reaction. You appear to be saying the same thing about covid vaccines.
Since each vaccine is different and has different reaction, vaccines are tested over years, sometimes decades, before they are labelled safe. I recall reading about a vaccine which was found to be causing fatal side effects after 27 years of examining, and officially stopped only after that.
Since mRNA is an untested technology, a rational mind would ask more questions about it, not less. Seek answers. To accept it on basis of faith without due testing, due questioning, and due skeptical thought is textbook example of cult behaviour.
We aren't against asking more questions. Especially people in the field should totally investigate if the vaccines are safe. They currently think that they are safe though, so that's my opinion as well.
Until 1990's, argument from authority was automatically disqualified as an argument. Unless you defend what these "people in the field" are saying, you are commiting a logical fallacy.
