> As long as vaccine side effects cause less deaths and less harm than the virus, vaccination is still the way to go.

That's not how medicine works. What would be your opinion if you were the one that was going to die? Would you still stick by your statement?

The issue is NO ONE told anyone this data. It was "suppressed" to PREVENT "vaccination hesitancy", that's the issue.

I'm pretty sure that's how medicine works. Obviously, if I knew the vaccine would kill me, I would not take it. But it's the same deal with literally any medication.

When I was prescribed Accutane for my acne, I was told that it could cause kidney damage. If I knew it would cause kidney damage to me would I have taken it? Of course not. But I hedged my bets and gambled that it wouldn't.

As far as the suppression of information goes, obviously that is totally unacceptable. That's also partially why I upvoted this post right?
