Just spiteful. And ironic if you really want to claim to care about public health
Science isn't a religion. It's a process. Just because it's called a vaccine doesn't mean its safe. You can be anti-this-particular-vaccine without being anti-all-vaccines.
(Edit - I misremembered what was hinky. For posterity, I'm restructuring my comment and preserving the bad take struck out below.)
~~In the case of the covid vaccines, that process was intentionally minimized as to bring the vaccine to market faster.~~
The vaccine did have benefits. It also had complications
~~that instead of being found out in trials were found out after release~~.
They did not skimp on the process with the Covid vaccines. Not with the big ones like Moderna or Pfizer, anyway. They accelerated the process, but they did not skip steps. They did steps in parallel.
Agreed. I misremembered what the issue was. It's been a second.
The issue was balancing risk of serious side effect versus risk of serious complication.
