This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Also - the volume of safety data is more than any in history by btd
There has never been a set of new vaccines administered this much this fast world wide before. In effect we are getting 5-10 years worth of adverse event data quarterly right now compared to a normal drug.
Yes, we don't have long term data -- longer than one year, since some in trials are about a year now. For every other possible reaction across any demographic of any kind we have more data collected than ever before for something new. A lot of drugs with far worse potential side effects - death -- often only are administered to millions of people per year. We are doing 3 million per day in the US alone right now.
