All new vaccines were "different" when they were introduced. What makes this vaccine different is also what makes it safer. The COVID vaccine injects signals that tell your immune system to react - not actual pathogens like most older vaccines. The technology for this vaccine has been around for 15 years. It hasn't been used mainstream because of the cost and markets didn't make it a good investment for a pharmaceutical company to bring to market.
This vaccine is already the most tested shot ever made. To have over 100 million shots in arms of all kinds and ages of people is a pretty clear indication that this shot is safe.
Maybe that's the source of all the tin-hat B.S. The main methodology of a typical vaccine is to fool the immune system into action by introducing dead viruses (can't reproduce) to your system. The Covid vaccine uses RNA (ribonucleic acid). This is the acid in your cells that your DNA uses to tell the cells what to do. So essentially the COVID vaccine tells your immune system to get its ass in gear directly, rather than having to trick it into thinking it's under attack by a virus. I think it's the DNA part that freaks out the conspiracy looney's. But the vaccine does not alter DNA in any way.
For a lot of Trumpsters though it's not even that well-considered. They just don't want to let Biden solve the COVID problem and go into history as the president who returned sanity and decency to the office.
