Message: <blockquote data-quote="Heppenheimer" data-source="post: 9969691" data-attributes="member: 129686">Just to knock this one on the head again (we've mostly been through this point over and over again in the WDW and COVID thread)...Vaccines can very rarely have long term side effects, but the absolute longest latency for them to show up is about 6 weeks in a few extreme cases.  The most common side effects occur immediately or a day or two later.  The rare autoimmune reactions present a little later, and a few rare cases of Guillan-Barre syndrome that occurred as late as 6 weeks after vaccination were attributed to other non-COVID vaccines for lack of a better culprit.There simply is no feasible biochemical mechanism for a vaccine to provoke a new side effects months or years later, and in practice, they simply aren't observed.  The actual physical materials of the vaccine are either completely excreted or broken down into the same basic biochemical building blocks that bathe every cell in our bodies, within days after we receive the injection.  A vaccine's enduring effect isn't from the presence of actual physical material injected, but from the army of lymphocyte stem cells that it provokes.  If these cells don't cause an autoimmune reaction relatively soon after they mature, they never will.This is completely different from considerations of chronic medication use.  With daily medications, the body is exposed to the drug on a continuous basis, and with some, a cumulative dose-dependent toxicity can occur.  The antiarrhythmic medication amiodarone is one of the most notorious examples, but we only use this medication when other less toxic medications fail.Even if there was some material in the vaccine that could cause a similar dose-dependent toxicity like with amiodarone, we simply aren't exposed to the ingredients in a vaccine often enough or in sufficient amounts to cause any long-term effect.</blockquote>
