Many don't know this but here there are a lot of pro-Trump people among those working on Astra-Zeneca vaccine and trials. I see it first hand. It's just regular people with families who want to beat this asshole virus and the blood clotting and organ damage it incurs. It's easy to focus on numbers, it's much harder when you see someone's father, with many years of life still in them, struggling to breathe on oxygen while they tell their kids bedtime stories through facetime. All because the immune system reaction the virus produces is too strong, and it attacks your own body.

Vaccines are good. Medicines are good. New treatments are always feared at first, but as a society we learn and adjust and progress. Every medicine has side effects in a small segment of people, but the good they do far outweigh the bad.

All we're trying to do with the vaccine is help the body adjust to a smaller, inactivated version of the virus, so it can produce antibodies without destroying you in the process. Then, if you do catch COVID, your body can fight it without overreacting and turning on itself.
