I know some here are clinging desperately to the fact that the vaccines are perfect and cause no harm, but the fact of the matter is that there is anecdotal accounts of young fit and previously healthy people suddenly suffering bouts of myocarditis, and bells palsy in many walks of life.
I know one nurse who suffered Bells on her booster and is no longer allowed to work onsite even with the ATAGI exemption, and is reverting to booking patients through outpatient clinics. I also know of a guy in his early 30's who ended up with myocarditis who was previously fit and healthy and was in the fitness industry and has a gym in his house at home.
I don't know enough about all of it to make a judgement either way, but trying to explain these things away as correlation serves no purpose.
Thing is, there is an economic reality to all of this. The vaccine was pushed out, because someone would have had to perform a cost benefit analysis of pros and cons of getting vaccinated in gen pop, vs gen pop getting covid and requiring treatment.
That analysis will include, greater presenations in ICU, vs greater presentations in perceived side effects, vs cost of producing and implementation of vaccines vs not doing it in terms of outcomes for all at a general level. This would not have been done using conservative numbers, but modelled on an aggressive form of the virus causing quite a lot of angst, which may or may not have come to fruition (hard to argue how it would have been here, vs 3rd world countries).
Someone in the know made those choices, and did so having to weigh up the fact that all of this isn't free and there is a bill to foot. At some point, the percentages will be low enough to make the vaccinations the lesser of two evils. The other being an unknown quantity to start with built on modelling. This isnt to state that the process was corrupted, but just a plain old risk assessment using factors that may or may not have been true for all people.
