John Moore, a vaccine expert at Weill Cornell Medicine, told USA Today before the authorizations that relying on mouse data “would be unprecedented in my knowledge and would certainly raise eyebrows,” but told The Epoch Times in an email on Thursday that he’s not concerned about safety.
“It’s still the same vaccine, just with a small tweak. The same strategy is used every year to adjust the composition of the standard flu vaccines. I’d draw an analogy to getting a new paint job on your car —that would not trigger the need for a full-service check into all the safety features. However, I think many members of the public may be concerned—particularly ones who have listened to the lies from anti-vaxxers,” he added, using a pejorative for people concerned about vaccine side effects and waning effectiveness.
