Yeah it is time for this thread. FIrst of all: I am pro-vaxx. I am vaccinated. I absolutely don't regret it. I would advice other people to get vaccinated if someone asked me. Moreover you should be careful with sources on the internet about vaccines there is a lot of misinformation.
Okay but now after I said all of that here comes the story. I read my favorite news magazine it has a huge reputation in my country. It was very pro-vaxx in most of the reportings. Though like 2-3 days ago there was an article about the Post-vac-syndrome. I am not an expert. But I try to summarize what I have read. Some covid-vaccinated patients seem to develop symptoms of long-covid. I already read about cases I think even in the forum. I did not really believe it and thought it was probably a hoax. (Sorry for that.)
I am kind of surprised. I fully trusted the past reportings. I have read a lot of articles and I have never read about the post-vac-syndorme. I have listened to many experts who said the vaccines are extremely good tested and there are barely any severe side effects. But suddenly this!!!? I lost kind of trust in the media and experts after this. Maybe I was too naive. I think I am often a little bit too naive and trust the media too much.
Thre article wrote: Many doctors don't want to talk about this issue (the syndrome). It is a too heated topic. They fear to fuel the anti-vaxxers and contradict the campaign of my government to vaccinate more people. The article really wrote that. (It is German and behind a paywall otherwise I would have linked him.)
I was kind of shocked. I mean science should not be corrupted by any political or societal views. This is what science is about. Finding the truth and not serving a political narrative. Yeah with that you lost at least some of my trust.
To wrap it up. If there will be future vaccines I will get them. I barely had side effects. I think the likelihood is lower for damage than in other cases. I mean I am vaccinated 3 times why should the fourth one damage me? Though I am not an expert. My humble opinion is: If we make a calculation what is more dangerous being unvaccinated or getting vaccinated the former one is more dangerous. Many people who were not vaccinated got huge longterm damage because of it. In my opinion it is less dangerous to get the vaccine than to get covid without being vaccinated. I could imagine some statistics could prove that. Though I am not an expert I am a random on the internet who barely knows anything. Don't trust many randoms on the internet about the vaccines. This is at least my stance.
Yeah it is a heated topic. I am quite disappointed that they were this intransparent. This report is partly a victory for the anti-vaxx people. This is why transparency in science and media is so important.
