I've seen a ton of videos on social media. I didn't save the links to the videos, or the news articles about the incidents, but surely you can find them easily?

I know vaccinated people as well, and non-vaccinated people, both who have had covid, and all are doing fine.

if you're not trolling: you might want to seek some help.

These are not convincing arguments, though I don't doubt you believe them sincerely.

One of the most troubling things about our society right now is that there's a lot of easily refutable lies spread via social media; but people are unable or unwilling to question them.

The energy required to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude more than to spread it.

If we can't trust empirical data and instead rely on gut feelings and rumour, we're all fucked.

This is your problem right here.

1) Was it real or not? Was it a video of someone getting a hernia in 2005? How did you verify it was real?

2) If it was real, what's the sample size? I'm assuming every occurence that's filmed in the world would show up. Can you make a video of half of them? A quarter? 4.23B people are vaccinated, did you see 50 videos? That's statistically insignificant. ~1000 people died from lightning strikes in the last year. Those aren't vaccine related either.

You distrust mainstream media, but you trust videos on social media? That's a terrible recipe for information consumption.
