What did you get nerve damage from? I assume it wasn't from the vaccines, but someone might infer this and point out a reason why we should avoid them.

Guillain–Barré syndrome[0] is a rare reaction to vaccination that causes the body to attack its own nerves and damage the myelin sheath. Possibly related? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain-Barr%C3%A9_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain-Barr%C3%A9_syndrome

    COVID itself causes Guillian-Barré Syndrome. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2009191 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2009191 All vaccines have the occasional rare side effect; Guillian-Barré is one of the more well known ones, and people get it from the flu shot each year. It's also quite clear the COVID vaccines haven't killed 600k in the US like the disease has, though. As with any other health intervention, the cost/benefits have to be weighed; they have been continue to be with regards to the vaccines.

>I assume it wasn't from the vaccines Why do you assume that? What risks do you believe vaccines to have and not have?

Good point, thanks. My point was vaccines are great, and I’m sorry to give fuel for doubt. I don’t think my numb thigh was due to any of the vaccines, but rather the needles. It could also be unrelated, and I’ve erroneously linked them. It’s gotten neither worse nor better in the last handful of years, and is a minor concern, as far as I know.
