I don't know how long you'd say is good, but given how much you've been moving the goalposts throughout this thread, I wouldn't put it past you to say it should be decades. If Jonas Salk were listening to you in the early fifties, we'd probably still be dealing with polio and it'd still be in trial stage, and your grandchildren would be telling anyone telling anyone who said we should just release the damn vaccine that we need more time.
I didn't claim the vaccine shouldn't have been released. I'm simply saying that people shouldn't be compelled to take a brand new vaccine that was put together way more quickly than any other vaccine in history. I took the risk and took the vaccine because of my asthma, so I decided it was a risk worth taking. Others don't want to take it.
Do you support 8 year olds being forced to take the vaccine or get kicked off their little league team, like is happening here in Canada? What are the chances of an 8 year old dying from covid? 1 in 500,000? And that's with most of those children having comorbidities. What's the chance of a healthy child dying from covid? 1 in many millions?
Note: I never said that you outright claimed the vaccine shouldn't be released. I only pointed out that you keep shifting the goalposts for whether or not we know it's reasonably safe so often that I wouldn't put it past you to keep saying we don't know enough long past the point where anyone else would say enough research has been done on them.
Also, as I said before, most children are already subject to vaccine mandates, even before COVID. And even if there's no chance of them dying of COVID, there's other issues, like potentially spreading it to others.
