"The initial message hammered home to us by the health authorities" on Covid mRNA vaccines

[Faizal_Ali]

I do not believe you have summarized @Giltil’s claim with complete accuracy:

@Giltil

@Tim

All that this really tells us is that most drugs come with risks.

Yes, including Covid mRNA vaccines, which was not the initial message hammered home to us by the health authorities.

Taken at face value, @Giltil is here claiming that “health authorities” had “hammered home” the message that, unlike most drugs, the COVID mRNA vaccine came with no risks.

It is, of course, possible that @Giltil merely misspoke. I am aware English is not his first language. But, if that is the case, he should clarify.
