they are phenomenally safe as prescribed...so, when confronted with the worst pandemic in a hundred years, we were blessed that Medical Science came to the rescue. Now we have a true Anti-Science Idiot running our HHS. As for Mandates, because these vaccines were so well scrutinized it was prudent for Front Line Medical and Government employees to get vaccinated, and smart for many other institutions (e.g. Universities) to do the same...btw, it's impossible to know exactly who is not vulnerable to COVID-19...and there were deaths among young supposedly "healthy" people,
As for Tony Fauci, as a true Infectious Disease expert, he had been on top of the mRNA technology developments for the entire time...it was his JOB to do so...therefore, he was able to engage the "gears of government", to coin a phrase, and get Moderna's mRNA-1273 vaccine started down the clinical trials path just days after China gave us the genome for SARS-CoV-2...just one more reason why Dr. Fauci has been justly lauded by U.S. Presidents (Rep and Dem),World Leaders and Medical Organizations his entire career. Sorry to learn that you're blind to reality when it comes to this incredible physician who has done so much good and saved so many millions of lives.
