>Why 5 years? Why not 1? Why not 50? What's so special to people about 5 years?

Clinical trials are conducted over many years (rather than just 1) for historical safety reasons[1]

>There is a faction of fools out there who resist being a part of society, but claim all of its privileges. These are sub-human individuals

This is hate speech, especially considering the disproportionate rates of black and hispanic people who are unvaccinated.

It is not. Black & hispanic people are vaccinated at lower rates than white people mostly due to access issues, not refusal to get the vaccine. One of those access issues is, in fact, that they are disproportionately members of a part of society we've demanded to take a lot of risk: essential workers.
