This article will likely get picked up by other media vehicles and sensationalized, but the writing on the link is very sober and very clear that they are just investigating.
I actually liked it a lot and will save this for when people start spreading the "gloom and doom" version of this news that might be coming soon.
- mullingitover 6y agoThe text of the article is more sober, but the title alarms me because I know a lot of people will look no further, and will spread more vaccine paranoia. There's already plenty of that and the press has been chasing clicks. If you have a group of 10 million people, a certain number of them are statistically likely to die within the next 24 hours, vaccine or not. So a lot of spurious correlations are going to happen with mass vaccination, and many of them are going to end up in headlines. It's already happening[1] and the press is going to be responsible for a non-zero number of deaths from people who don't understand that it's sheer coincidence.

- hugocbp 6y agoTrue. The title is more dire than the actual content of the article.
