People take the flu shot annually and are generally fine. Unless it’s showing that COVID-19 vaccines are much more dangerous than flu vaccines, this isn’t a big concern.
- whatshisface 5y agoWith regards to the side effects that don't matter (feeling really tired for one or two days) they're stronger than the average flu shot, so maybe they're stronger in other ways, or maybe not. Nobody can quantify the reporting bias on VAERS, and the side effects of midrange severity showing up there aren't scary enough to justify the kind of regulatory investigation that the blood clotting thing received, so we are unlikely to see a study on this in the near term.
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoGiven that it's a very different technology from flu vaccines, we shouldn't really assume that they're not. Too early to be sure of course but there are some concerning studies and anecdata already [1].
