I guess we can look to places like Israel where there is nearly 100 percent, and the UK where there is a very high vaccination rate esp in the over 50s.
If you go to the gp/doctor and you tell them you are suffering issues after a vaccine they have to (by law) pass that on to the regulator and to the vaccine manufacturer. In Israel and in the UK reports to doctors about longer term side effects of the vaccine are within and below the expected ranges.
Reports on twitter may be high, reports to doctors remain low. You can draw your own conclusions.
- megous 5y agoYes, but where are the data? What low means? What is expected range? Just 1% would be a lot of people to have longer term side effects. Etc.

Question, do you personally know anyone with long term health issues that they believe we're caused by the vaccine?
- megous 5y agoYes. That's the reason why I'm searching every once in a while for some studies.
- ljf 5y agoI feel your pain, my wife got long covid back before that was at least accepted to be a thing. At first doctors are very dismissive, but gradually there were a critical mass of people able to demonstrate measurable symptoms. Here is hoping that somehow your friends symptoms pass soon and are mild. After seeing what long covid can do to a healthy 40yo woman with no preexisting conditions, where no one understands them at first, I can imagine the stress.
- megous 5y agoI'm sorry to hear that. I hope your wife is feeling better now. Here it's not so much that the doctors are dismissive, they just don't know what it is. ER neurologist she saw was not very surprised/dismissive, because she apparently went through a nasty reaction to the vaccine herself. And GP was also accepting, did run some diagnostics, but ultimately it's all back to hoping it will resolve by itself (+ as always, some analgesics).
- gilbetron 5y agoIsrael is 63% fully vaccinated, 68% at least partially. Far from 100%. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations?country=OWID_WRL https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations?country=OWID_W...
