When I watched Pandemic on Netflix in 2019 I was horrified at the casual and seemingly ignorant distrust of vaccines by a seemingly affluent Oregon mom. Recently, on Twitter and youtube, when consuming pro-science messages from doctors such as David Gorski, I've been shocked to discover that in the United States or Europe there are MDs who lead the anti-vxx movement. Hard for me to wrap my mind around that. I can't imagine board certified oncologists suggesting fruit diets instead of chemo.
However, do you think it would be dangerous, reckless, or criminal to properly or methodically disclose an accurate number or rate of adverse events with these covid-19 vaccines? And, as would be expected with hundreds of millions of shots, the number of AEs could seem high. That's where education would come in. Education instead of suppression.
Isn't that a consequence of ineffective or problematic messaging from the CDC and public health authorities? As "informed" as I am on this topic, all my fully vaccinated acquaintances (and wife) who had breakthrough infections were shocked. They believed the vaccine was sterilizing. And, now, LA Public Health is tracking reinfections in the fully vaccinated. That is a reinfection of a breakthrough case. Reason for that? I won't speculate on this bike forum.
