In 2018, a study team including CDC scientists analyzed and published vaccine safety data on adjuvanted pH1N1 vaccines (arenaprix-AS03, Focetria-MF59, and Pandemrix-AS03) from 10 global study sites. Researchers did not detect any associations between the vaccines and narcolepsy.
Incidence rate study data did not show a rise in the rate of narcolepsy following vaccination except in the one signaling country included (Sweden, which used Pandemrix). Case-control analyses for Arepanrix-AS03 did not show evidence of an increased risk of narcolepsy. Case-coverage analysis for Pandemrix-ASO3 in children in the Netherlands did not show evidence of an increased risk of narcolepsy, but the number of exposed cases was small (N=7). Cases-control analysis for Focetria-MF59 did not show evidence of an increased risk of narcolepsy.
My kids are all vaccinated and so am I and I don't suggest to people to not vaccinate.
I am just trying to cool down the too happy thinking that the vaccine is some magical tool that automatically causes problems to go away with no risk.
In particular, we don't yet know how long the effects of vaccine will persist, we don't know of long term side effects (and even very small amount of side effects multiplied by 7B people is a problem) and we don't know WHEN it is going to be feasible to vaccinate everybody. Remember, it is going to be pricey and many people will choose not to vaccinate for financial or other reasons.
This is unfortunately exactly what anti-vaxxers do, they enjoy the benefits of herd immunity thanks to the vast majority of people getting vaccinated but spread negativity & doubt about the vaccine at the same time. The current Covid vaccines have had a very large testing group and been put through the same strict regulations as any other vaccine. The only reason there is chatter about not taking it is due to the current political / media climate.

What do you base this on?
