On the other hand, of very good friend of mine, a prestigious doctor in Monaco, was adament the vaccine caused no major heatlth problem. This month, I had weird health problem that sent me to the hospital, and asked again if anything could be related to the vaccine. This time, he said it was a possibility because has has seen some similar cases in the past. The problem here is not changing your mind using fact. That's how you should do it. The problem here is stating at first he was sure it could not cause any grave problem (at least not worse than covid). Because this was not rooted in fact, we didn't have remotely enough data to know this. But this is what a lot of the medical and political elite claimed during the pandemics, and questioning it would get us the rethoric you just used in your comment. This is what a lot of comments on HN, twitter and the whole internet agressively screamed, with disdain toward people that were raising pragmatic worries. This is not a sane way of approaching science. This is arrogant, and creates distrusts in a world where we desperatly need humility and bonding together. In fact, you know your position is not in the best light because you are using a throwaway account to state your position, in a thread that has been very cordial.
