Sometimes I get the feeling that if I got a needle and was hit by a car two weeks later, I could convince people it was a side-effect.

I had my ribcage sawn open by the medical system so they could cut out a piece of my heart and replace it with a chunk of a pig's. I'm still around and doing just dandy. My suspicion is that the people who can do that sort of thing probably have a better notion of what this vaccine will do than I do.

Not that any of this invalidates any of your arguments, of course; I'm just talking.

Edit: Perhaps another way of looking at it would be: I don't really want a doctor who has never written a line of code in his life to tell me how to write a program. I suspect that modern medicine is not quackery and does involve actual expertise, and (equally significantly) that the medical system has a greater amount of medical expertise than I do.
