We won't pick up on any long-term side-effects that only take place after 6-12 months, of course, because of the shorter time frame Still, the trials are pretty amazing

Worth noting here that when I say "long-term" I really mean "only diagnosed after 6 months". By the time vaccines are rolled out, we'll have at least 6 months of follow-up data so anything that you'd expect to be picked up in that time-frame should show some signal

The real worry is chronic diseases that take years to be diagnosed, but that's not the same as serious chronic issues that start immediately after vaccination (which is what people often worry about)

And this sort of problem tends to be incredibly rare in terms of vaccines. I actually can't think off the top of my head of an example, although I'm sure they exist. Anyone?

Most cases of both of those are diagnosed within 30 days tho. Are there any that are predominantly diagnosed >6 months after?

AFAIK that was a plausible hypothesis but the evidence for chronic arthritis not diagnosed acutely was pretty slim?

Yes but again this is predominantly diagnosed acutely as the article notes

Well, for a child even mild such chronic illness can be life changing.

Sure but my point is that it would be picked up in the study so we'd know about it
