That is why it is probably best to not rush the release of new vaccines
for new diseases - like Covid-19...

I don\'t believe this is the sort of effect vaccines are screened for. If they waited for full, unhurried testing to proceed and the vaccine was the \"leaky\" type, it would still be approved and utilized.

If you read the article, the risk for the vaccinated is not increased, only the un-vaccinated. Why would anyone want to forego a vaccine against this disease? I can see waiting a few months while the masses are vaccinated, but why would anyone want to take a 1 in 20 chance of dying?

I think it is pretty clear that the vaccine is by far the lesser of two evils.

Any vaccine against any rapidly mutating virus is \"leaky\". The classic examples are the various vaccines against the various (and rapidly evolving) strains of seasonal influenza. They don\'t seem to have made influenza more deadly, and we have been using them for years now..

Just to be clear, the term \"virulent\" has two meanings (at least). One is to be severe or harmful while the other is simply to be infectious. So a more infectious strain could apply without being more deadly. It just depends on what Humpty Dumpty meant when the term was used, no more and no less.
