Just because something is listed as a known side effect does not mean it is common. I don't have the context of the deleted comment, so I can't respond to it in general. What I can say is, this is not common in my experience or in the experiences of most people I know. That doesn't mean the original story is true, or that it isn't.
I haven't done much research into the vaccine myself, although the mRNA aspect is really interesting. But, rumors are basically how human beings communicate. Ignoring and then complaining about them doesn't seem as productive as addressing them.
- cyphar 6y agoRumours are not an effective way of discussing the safety of medicine, because they are naturally prone to all sorts of biases which skew opinion. Rumour mills are how you get witch hunts (and interestingly, the "witches" in those witch hunts were actually the early forms of doctors -- they were women who had knowledge of traditional herbal remedies).
