The phenomenal commercial and public health success of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines has been trumpeted loudly since their arrival to market in November 2020. As of February, 2022, there is hardly a soul who has not heard of these miracle medicines, and in some countries, few people who have not been touched by the vaccines in one way or another.
Amazing!!! Magnificent!!!
Only…
…it seems that rarely, very rarely, the vaccines cause side effects. Sore arms, a fever, that sort of thing. Really, it’s nothing compared to a case of covid, which could wind up causing a dreaded long covid, or an ICU trip, or death.
What a boon to humanity!!! What a miracle!!!
Only that…
Extremely rarely, I mean so rarely it’s almost embarrassing to mention because it’s soooo rare- - there have been one or two more serious reactions to the vaccine. Allergic reactions, or people fainting with the injections. Typical for any vaccine, really.
Very safe, extremely safe. So so safe. Praise be these vaccines!!!
Only…
Well, there are some people who want to believe the vaccines have more side effects. They want to give the vaccines a bad name, you might say. They’re probably fraudsters, kind of embarrassing to talk about really…
Sorry? What is VAERS, you ask?
Just some website, really inaccurate, mostly fake. I wouldn’t bother with it, honestly. A distraction from the great success of the vaccines…
What? You say VAERS has over a million reports of side effects associated with covid vaccines?
Yes, well, those antivaxxers. You know how they…
How could they fake over twenty thousand deaths in VAERS attributed to covid vaccines?
Hey listen — do you have any idea how many vaccines were given? How many people died of covid? What would you rather - to die of covid?
No, I am NOT changing the subject! I’m DONE talking with you, you…you…antivaxxer!
