Actually, the vaccine is intramuscular, not intravenous.
But I think you're missing the point.

No, I'm quite aware of it. It is this:
You don't know much about it and you are afraid of it. Fear and ignorance.
A lipid is fat. We can't live without them.
Please show a study which shows 70% efficacy of a placebo against flu.
It's expensive, extraneous, and arguably less effective than the placebo effect (15-70% effective)
The thing is, trans fats are banned in many places now because they're artificial

Some trans fats are artificial, some are not. You have a propensity to over generalize. Maybe it has to do with that ignorance thing.
I was referring to the placebo effect being 15-70% in general among the scientific research.
Just about everything has potential side effects and people are informed of that, but clinical trials show that both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have very high efficacy rates.
But they should know its not really that effective, and has potential side effects.

And I was asking for something which showed that applied to what you were talking about.
Just about everything has potential side effects but every indication is that both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have very high efficacy rates.
A meaningless comparison.
The fact that they placebo effect has an overall higher percentage of efficacy than a flu vaccine. That's what I was referring to.
Not you. You're not going to take it ever.
From what I've heard, we will have to be taking it again in the near future.
Oh, now it's "caution." Instead of this:
The lack of extended trials on these vaccines is probably the main reason I would suggest caution.
"Extended trials" ain't gonna change what it is.
I don't want to be injected with an artificial slew of bioengineered synthetic mRNA strands.

Why? Again, show me a study which shows that efficacy for a flu vaccine placebo. Or you could admit it was a nonsensical point.
If people's belief in a treatment is 15-70% effective, compared to the flu vaccine's 10-50% effectiveness, then yeah I think that deserves some attention.
Extended for how long, do you reckon?
Extended trials would record the long-term efficacy of it, and also any potential long-term side-effects.

But you already said you won't take it simply because of what it is. So those "extended" trials would be pointless.
Your myopic hyper-analysis causes you a lot of confusion, unless you're being purposefully obtuse which is even worse.

Your broad generalizations and specious comparisons demonstrate that you have no facts upon which to base your arguments.
I don't want viral DNA and synthetic liposomes injected into my body.

You've also made it quite clear that you are quite ignorant about the subject.
Good for you.
I've studied immunology.
Good for you.
Obviously vaccines have a degree of efficacy, but I know how to bolster my immune system.
No. Nor am I ignorant of the fact that it often is just not up to the task no matter how many nuts and berries one eats.
Are you ignorant of the capabilities of our body's immune system?
