Yes it does.
There is literally nothing of substance behind the claims that "this one is different" it's the exact same argument from the exact same unreliable sources. Literally the ONLY difference is that this vaccine was made controversal by American politics.
If you are against the covid vaccine then you are an anti-vaxxer, whether you realize it or not.
That's not strictly true.
This was the first FDA-approved mRNA vaccine, so it is "different".

Technically correct, but that doesn't mean it's any less safe by all accounts.

I imagine you're not actually against the Vaccine, just pointing out the factual truth that it is indeed different then prior vaccines, however that doesn't on it's own make it unsafe.
I never said (or even implied) it was less safe, only that saying it's no different than previous vaccines is not true.
You're putting words in my mouth
I agreed with you?
Even said, "I imagine you're not against the vaccine" because you were getting down voted because people are weird about facts that sound like something a nut would say even if factually true.
You're technically correct so I don't understand the downvotes, you most obviously didn't imply anything else. Love the mrna technology, went out of my way to get vaccinated during pregnancy (because Germany was a bit slow with that), literally worked on Covid, Anti-Covid meds and mRNA in the lab, and you'll have my upvote. You're the best kind of correct after all. Don't get discouraged.
Most people here do not have fully functioning brains and cannot distinguish someone being correct from someone blathering nonsense.
Upvotes and downvotes are purely based on whether or not your vibes match their expectations.
