> Personally I am not afraid of SARS-CoV-2, for someone in my risk category the risk of bad outcomes is vanishingly low. Whereas a rushed out novel vaccine - which by definition cannot be tested for long term effects - is much more risky, personally.

Do you have data to support these two claims?

Edit: I am not sure why I have been downvoted for requesting support data regarding two quite strong claims. Someone, even if it's not the downvoter, care to explain?

This is a unique situation where we as a company simply cannot take the risk if in ... four years the vaccine is showing side effects

I suppose you will call me an anti-vaxxer but why would a company want to avoid liability if its products were safe? Note that they will gladly take all the profits.

No, seriously, do you have any data to support your claims that it is riskier to get the vaccine than to get infected by the virus in the wild?
