Just in case it needs to be said:

If you haven't already, go get vaccinated against Covid-19, ASAP. The vaccines are safe and they work.

Do not try any of the purported "cures" like hydroxichloroquin or, sigh, ivermectin.

I've been thinking lately that if Ponyville's nurse is Red Heart, should its doctor be Ivar McTin?

Don't claim they are safe, when you haven't seen long term effects.

Like using same logic eating lead is safe.

Sure they are probably safe enough, but plenty of things have long term side effects, and frankly the people who sell vaccines are not trustworthy, and their statistics are filled with noticeable discrepancies. Plus some people have really bad reaction to the vaccines, and have died from it. Sure the % of people dying is negligible, but people still die from the vaccine. Plenty of batches are tainted and so on.

Unlike lead, where we know very well why it's toxic in the long run (it's a heavy metal that accumulates in the body), there's nothing about covid vaccines that would linger in the body and cause long-term problems. We know what goes into them, and there's nothing that would cause such things.

And yes, there are side effects. There are always some side effects, and those are known and observed. And when rare, serious side effects come up, they are taken into account. For example, AstraZeneca vaccine is associated with a very small risk of serious thrombosis, particularly in young women. So, in many countries, my home Finland included, the vaccine is no longer used on young people.

We don't have to trust the vaccine makers blindly; this is a global pandemic, and the virus and the vaccines are studied by universities and health authorities worldwide. If the vaccines were dangerous or useless, there is no way to keep that knowledge hidden, with couple of billion vaccinated people all over the world.

And finally -- the reliability and safety of vaccines does ultimately not matter here, because even if we didn't know what worked against Covid-19, we would know that ivermectin isn't it.

Nothing is perfectly safe. No matter what you do or what you skip doing, everything carries a risk. COVID-19 isn't safe, either, and known to cause lasting harm. The vaccines are much less of a risk than an infection.
