If you said a week ago that Moderna may be a bit more dangerous for under-35s, most people would have called you an anti-vaxxer as a knee-jerk reaction.

- enumjorge 5y agoI mean we’re having this discussion today aren’t we? Did something magically shift in people’s mindset over the last week? No, we just have more data from credible sources. If you want to blame something for the unhealthy state of public discourse around vaccines, blame anti vaxxers. It is their anti science stance during a health crisis that is both irrational and has removed all nuance from healthcare discussions.

Only idiots, rational people would say for sure the risk for vaccine A is not exactly equal with B for each individual, and that person would ask for real data and not some speculation for a youtubger that bearly finished high-school or some fake news website shared on Facebook. Just to remind people, the risk for X complication is just a number , you always need to remember that the risk might be smaller for you (or larger) but it might be much larger for someone in your family/friends so don't forget the otehrs when you try to pretend you know how to calculate your own risks,
- Splendor 5y agoIt would appear that the difference between your hypothetical scenario and this one is the introduction of scientific data. Interesting huh?
- gjsman-1000 5y agoMy vaccine-hesitant family has been saying Moderna is more dangerous for young people for months now. Which is why this slight admission, though slight, hits home.
