Until I hear the totality of what Stockton is saying, I'm withholding judgement. The comments in the clip were about confining kids in houses, and frustration with that is a sentiment I share. I have a school aged kid and I don't know a single kid who was even hospitalized. I do know more than a dozen who tested positive, but none that had any lasting effects. I know 2 families who buried sons who took their own lives during the pandemic.NBA Great's Wild Anti-Vaccine Video Gets Booed By Fans
The former Utah Jazz star boasted he had done "significant amount of research." But Twitter called foul.www.huffpost.com
We sometimes idolize athletes and yet they can be dumb as ****. Not that I love Stockton the player less because of that - he has his opinion and he has a right to share it, but come on man... you are neither doctor, nor biologist.... "I did my own research".... Dumb dumb dumb.
People sometimes forget the decades of research behind the development of mRNA vaccines, and act as if the idea for them developed overnight, and that the attitude must have been “let’s try this, what could go wrong?”. I say thank god the decades of research helped paved the way for developing vaccines in the face of a true emergency situation. Millions of lives have been saved thanks to these new vaccines.

Stage 3 trials were completed before it was approved by all health authorities for it is use. Your post just shows ignorance and complete lack of understanding about the topic.

Facts about COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines and the Decades of Research That Went into Creating Them - Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society
Despite the global threat of COVID-19, mRNA vaccines, which are highly effective at preventing COVID-19 illness and have passed rigorous safety
How do we know that it is really safe if the development and approval processes were so rushed?
As discussed in the last point, the development process has been underway for decades. Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech did not start from the beginning and produce vaccines in less than a year. They used the platforms they had spent years developing and perfecting, then inserted the necessary piece of genetic code and completed the design for an effective mRNA vaccine.
You can think about it this way. Once computers, operating platforms, and software were created, it was a much simpler matter to provide software updates to make small changes. However, we didn’t go from the first computers to today’s smartphones and easily installed apps and updates in just a year or two. The decades of development have brought us to the place where software is easily created and incorporated into existing platforms.
mRNA vaccines operate under a somewhat similar process. Since producing mRNA vaccines uses a process of biochemical synthesis, once the genetic code of a virus is known, the piece of mRNA needed to create an immune response can quickly be synthesized and incorporated into the existing platform to create an effective vaccine.
Approval processes were not changed for these vaccines. You can view details about the FDA’s process here and the European Union’s process here. All new vaccinations and medications go through rigorous testing, and the final steps include 3 phases of human trials. The final phase requires testing thousands of people. Moderna’s phase 3 trial included 30,420 participants, of which half received the vaccine (8), and Pfizer-BioNTech’s phase 3 trial included 43,548 participants, with just under half receiving the vaccine (9). The other half in both groups received a placebo in order to accurately compare results between the participants who received a vaccine or a placebo. Both vaccines met the requirements of safety and efficacy, with an astonishing 94.1% and 95% rate of being effective in preventing COVID-19 illness (8, 9).

You should dig deeper. mRNA vaccines been in development for years. Really, not that difficult to read reliable sources instead of watching 5 min antivaxxer youtube videos.
A. The mRNA vaccines have been in development for many years.
This is wrong, clinical trials are four phases....the "fourth" phase in this trial is you
happy to do my part, same like multi millions of responsible people in all world.
Ok. It's going fantastic so far.
Before COVID? None. What point you are trying to make? That we should have used old technology and done 5 years of trials and wait in lockdowns until COVID decimates humane race and economies world wide? Be happy there was tremendous amount of research, money and effort thrown into developing this amazing technology allowing life to go back to normal in most vaccinated countries.
