I'm just going to add some anecdata for people to weight when they are taking this decision: The covid AZ booster gave me an ischemic stroke (Lacunar TIA, detected by MRI, confirmed by my Neurologist). My GP got only one Pfizer vaccine and got myocarditis. She decided not to get any subsequent vaccines. There's plenty of anecdata cases of people having bad significant reactions to the vaccines all over the internet. As they say, the probabilities are low, but if you happen to be like me, who believed in the statistics and get shafted... well probabilities are meaningless to me now.

She decided not to get any subsequent vaccines. Another post hoc? There have been actual studies we can look at, rather than making decisions based on what randos on the Internet claim to be true.

  I did not draw anything. My vascular Neurologist gave me the diagnostic after looking at my MRI, A LOT of tests, including blood, ecocardiograms (form outside and inside my body), ecographies and more. You are completely right, I don't care about what a random "rootusrootus" user in the internet says, I trust my Vascular Neurologist and his diagnostic after actually reviewing my case. Now I am taking baby aspirin for the time being until I can see how my case progresses. If I cared, I could offer to share my Neurologist contact info. But I really don't.

    I wasn't making a claim. Just curious if you had something other than ideology to back up a bold claim. Clearly not. You ought not to spread misinformation, but I can hardly stop you. The fact that you claim to have two separate antivax doctors is enlightening enough by itself.
