except every vaccine on the market has had thorough testing. Even the covid vaccines had the same level of testing as others, many were just done concurrently rather than consecutively to help meet time constraints

i had a guy that manages clinical trials for a big biotech group explain for covid that the fda recognized the tech was mrna, already proven delivery, and so they gave it a jump to actually be tested and not go through many other steps that slow it down

You do know half the time it’s not actually tested as much as they like people to think right? Covid vaccine was still in trials when given to people. I didn’t get it till months after it came out and it was tested more

Anonymous #1 14w

by that point they had already cleared phase 1-3 trials and were already deemed safe. the remaining testing was for long-term effects which by their very nature couldn’t be done in a meaningful time. the vaccine still passed all safety regulations to be sent to the public

Anonymous #1 14w

yeah i think you might be confusing the initial “testing” vs “monitoring” all medicines have to complete clinical trials with non-human subjects, and then human volunteers before they make it to the public, Covid included. the CDC continues monitoring for side effects years later, but the safety testing is complete.

the only way quantum computing ruins voting security (and ALL other digital security due to its nature) is through incompetence.

The encryption updates would usually come through FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards — basically all software the federal gov runs has to have this mode switched on). NIST only recently established post-quantum encryption standards so they may end up in FIPS at some point.

it’s not a challenge… a QR code needs to be scannable because that’s its purpose.
