AZMike,
How exactly did your sister died? Why do you think that her death was related with the vaccine? Saying "after" is not enough. You can be hit by a car after the vaccine and you cannot blame the vaccine for that. Letting your sister apart, I will say something about how a vaccine is tested.
A vaccine is tested first in animals, then in a small number of people, then in a bigger group pf people, usually around one thousand before launching it. We can't test a vaccine in millions, because this is not a test but a massive vaccination. If there is a secondary effect, even death, in let's say, one case per million of vaccines, it is very unlikely that this effect shows up in a test with one thousand. It's one probability in one thousand to appear, very unlikely, so we just don't know. But we know that it is safe enough.
When any secondary effect shows up, a research is done and the necessary amendments are taken. This applies to every medicine of any kind.
I will go further. Let's assume for the sake of the discussion that we knew in advance that one person per million will die for the vaccine. Even in this case I will had given a "go ahead" with the vaccination. It's one against thousands of saved lives, a destroyed economy and the people locked down.
I know that there are anti vaccines people, same as I know that there are people who think that the Earth is flat or people who think that the Virgin Mary got pregnant by a pigeon. It's ok to me, everyone can believe what they want. But not every opinion deserves the same acknowledgement. I know what a vaccine is and you don't. I don't know what your area of expertise is, but I know that you like guns. I know nothing about guns, I have not touched a gun in my life. Therefore my opinion about guns cannot be considered equal as yours because I have no clue.
Look out the window. The people are living their normal lives. It could had been very different if the science had not respond in such a quick and effective manner to the disease. This disease was new, we knew nothing about it on the beginning and all of a sudden, the hospitals were full of people. They have identify the virus, analyzed it and created a vaccine in a year. Outstanding! For any other disease, this would had taken years. This means lots of hard work 24/7. My colleagues deserve a clap and some respect.
There is more to say. I remember the picture of the Italian team who first unveiled the genetic code of the virus. Women all of them, some very young, in full smiles of pride and happiness how not? well, these young scientists are earning around 1000 euros a month with a temporary contract. They might be unemployed right now. I think that the society should treat the scientists a bit better.
Corruption. This is up to the politicians. Yes, there is a case in Madrid that I could speak about. Nothing generalized.
Yes, the lock down is horrible, but necessary. Otherwise we would had counted many more deaths. And yes, it goes against human rights, but life is the first right. Everything was done accordingly to our constitution and watched by the Parliament and courts. It was well done. There was no other option.
