I've got 3x vaccines myself. I can't notice any particular difference in my health.

But anti vax rhetoric has never been higher. It's especially concerning prominent individuals on social media are peddling these messages.

Is there any hard evidence the vaccine causes notable harm?

Nothing that outweighs the risk of getting COVID, which pretty much everyone can be guaranteed to get at this point.

It’s all anecdotal at this point. Like one of my coworkers that got it. Due to our job, we were the first to have the option to get it. She never seemed well after getting it. She missed half of last school year and has been on leave since the beginning of this school year. She was really healthy before she got the shot. It is concerning, but again it’s all anecdotal.

Is there any hard evidence the COVID vaccine is good for you? I feel like since they've been introduced we've dropped from 'it's 99% effective' to 'it just works, please take it' rhetoric.

Oh and before you call me one of the antivaxxers I'm only talking about this particular group of vaccines.

Got a good friend who now has been fitted a pacemaker.

Well I was very hesitant to get them, ended up doing it to appease the wife. Got J&J originally, moderna booster, and pfizer booster, so I got the full compliment, or put another way I “mixed and matched” as they very worryingly phrased it in the official messaging. No health issues that I can identify, but I did catch a nasty case of covid despite all that.

Yes. They all underwent clinical trials which showed they are safe and effective.

It’s all anecdotal at this point.

Clinical data is not anecdotal.

I've had a total of 4 Moderna shots and zero side effects beside a bit of a sore shoulder for a couple of days following the shot.

 

[FunkMiller]

Of course there isn’t. That’s why billions and billions of us have had the vax, and Covid is now not much of an issue anymore.

The vax is far safer than most drugs people put in themselves on a daily basis.

I don't think you read the journal you linked me. Those are very good odds to be honest.
