Vaccines don't have long term effects.

Hypothetically in 5 many vaccinated develop Alzheimer... "Oh... It was an emergency there was no time to worry about long term effects of a new vaccine technology"

Until several years pass we don't know. Both vaccine long term effects or Covid

Tell that to all the poor bastards now living with myocarditis.

That's a short term effect (i.e. we already know about it), and one that actual covid is much more likely to give you.

Also, the problem with VAERS reports is the people may just have already had it - that's why side effects for medications sometimes list the original condition as a side effect.

In men <40 years old, 2 doses of either of the mRNA vaccines are more likely than SARS-CoV-2 to give you myocarditis. Pfizer is only a little higher, but Moderna is several times higher.

And also, something like 75% of myocarditis resolves completely on its own (and like you mentioned, most myocarditis is caused by viral infection...). Properly risk-weighting all of this is hard, thankfully public health experts have done so and still recommend nearly universal vaccination!

Keep doing boosters every N months and the risk of myocarditis will eventually be greater than Covid.

Good thing I didn't tell you to do that then.

You don't but my government does.

> and one that actual covid is much more likely to give you.

At this rate we're taking boosters more often than we're risking coming down with Covid. Maybe there will be some diminishing returns.

Polio has different vaccines for normal and pandemic situations IIRC so I’d expect the same thing.

I didn’t say there were no effects from the vaccine. The fever is enough to make it not worth taking current formulation boosters twice a year.
