Incredible, thank you for the live example of this mindset.
This is the epitome of survivorship bias. The Moderna vaccine could have just as well made a lot of people very very sick. There are countless examples of problematic medicines and vaccines which didn't get the scrutiny the COVID vaccines got (and continue to get) simply because not enough people were relevant for the studies and statistics are subsequently weaker.
We should all appreciate it went through the regulatory process (accelerated) to confirm it does not before injecting millions of people with it.
