Even a paracetamol can kill you if you're unlucky enough. You have to look at the big picture.

Anyway, I strongly believe that your vaccine didn't cause any problems, you're just hallucinating a link, probably because you need a link to justify something else.

What a caring and compassionate view. Convenient for someone not in my situation.

The vaccine causes your type of health problem with probability p, and someone who didn't take the vaccine during the pandemic would've developed health problems of similar severity with probability q. The vast evidence shows that p is orders of magnitude smaller than q. And you're saying that you would've preferred not to take the vaccine?

I'm saying I would have preferred to have more time to make an informed choice rather than facing the consequence of losing a job in a single-income family with several dependents. And now, after the fact, seem to have inexplicable symptoms after taking the vaccine, which leads me to question if they originate from it.

Linked how?

Run your own double blind experiment on a large population to show a high enough correlation to suggest causation for similar symptoms? Peeked into parallel universe where you weren't vaccinated?

Logical deductions over four years. Thousands of dollars in medical payments to track down degeneration that is uncommon in my age range. Test after test with doctors shrugging, saying I'm perfectly fine.

Symptoms started a couple of months after I was vaccinated. Total coincidence? Some other undiagnosed underlying medical condition? Sure. It's easy to play devil's advocate when it supports your pre-existing beliefs.

FWIW, I wasn't labeled anti-vax until I made this statement. I've had pretty much every vaccine given to average residents, including flu shots. But alas, questioning the side effects of just one is enough to get you labeled by the extremists. Literally, _just questioning_ this one vaccine and I'm all of the sudden "against vaccines." It's a tribal level of insanity. The only people who don't see it are the ones perpetuating it.
