Unfortunately, yes. I still don't understand why it is impossible to consider the possibility that a medical intervention might in fact have consequences. Its obviously within the realms of possibility.

We know that vaccines saved hundreds-of-thousands of lives. It is also possible that they caused a small number of adverse effects (although the signal for this is so deep in the noise to be effectively uninterpretable.) Focusing on the potential adverse effects just serves to muddy the waters for those who can put the many orders-of-magnitude difference in perspective.

Vaccines tested properly yes. Experimental injections using a tech that never even worked in mice on the other hand has every reason to fail when experimented on humans. Btw at the time relatives pressured me to take the science juice I made a search in the national (French) vaccine adverse reactions and there was thousands of cases gone very badly, as far as death. Negating the issue isn't going to build any trust.

How do we know this? Is this based on modelling or are we extrapolating from vaccine efficacy trials?
