I have a friend who is anti mRNA vaccines as they are so new.

Are they?

    We’re getting Long Covid effects now, but I’ve yet to hear about Long Vax side effects.

      Hypothetically, it could be because those folks have already died or are experiencing effects that genpop refuses to corroborate with the treatment. There’s been a major bias against reporting side effects (not that the process has ever been fully hashed out) and iirc the ‘cine industry is the only one you can’t sue, so any potentially-educational lawsuits that might’ve been are a nonstarter. Not saying these things are confirmed but that there’s definitely room for a lot to fly under the radar.

        You can’t sue the makers because a federal agency has taken all liability. You can sue the agency though, and they do pay out occasionally for injuries caused by vaccines.

      Some people have to go on blood thinners due to the covid shot. It’s rare, and most people should get their shot, but there are risks involved.

      I work in a pharmacy and I’ve personally filled medications for about 5 people who said they are on blood thinners from getting a covid shot.
