How many people do you know? What rate are we talking, re: “many people”?
I don’t think I can give very useful data here. I can give some rough numbers but they aren’t going to be very informative. I stopped bothering to listen to or look for reports of people’s vaccine side effects getting rejected after something like ten-ish because I was starting to notice something like overfitting going on in my head.
The important (to me) part was that there were multiple such cases, very distributed, which meant there’s some kind of bureaucratic mechanism in place (as opposed to one grumpy bureaucrat somewhere). I knew I couldn’t see it, and I observed that no one seemed to be talking about it (except the disgruntled vaccine-injured folk who were feeling swayed by the conspiracy theorists), which made the confidence folk were asserting about “The vaccines are safe & effective” look like mindless propaganda repetition to me even if it accidentally happened to be correct.
I was hoping for an update on that here. I’ve gotten quite a few others. Sadly on this one I’m not seeing much in the way of hope for clarification just yet.
