      I think an interesting question now becomes - what happens when similarly rare events are found for other vaccines? It's not unlikely, and thus far the reaction of regulators and the public has been mixedhttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1382073023046459395 …

      I wrote about this when the vaccinations started. We could exclude side-effects that happened per ~1 in 2-5,000 doses from clinical trials, but it was always possible/likely that very rare side-effects would occur in the general population https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1382070668318048259 …

      At the moment, we're happy to simply pause the offending vaccine, because there are other options. But it's neither impossible nor even unlikely that a serious side-effect occurring at a rate of 1/million will be found for all vaccines

          (I'm not saying it will be ~the same~ side-effect, but that there is every possibility that we will uncover a different side-effect for other vaccines that happens very rarely. What then?)

          Given the volume of Pfizer/Moderna now administered, you’d think even 1/1,000,000 adverse reactions would have been identified by now.

          Norway finds that vector vaccines (AZN) causes at least 20 times higher chance of bleeding versus MRNA (Pfizer/Moderna) https://www.fhi.no/nyheter/2021/blodninger-etter-covid-19-vaksiner/ …

          Data from Norway: By vector vaccine, 2.8 percent of those vaccinated experienced bleeding. The corresponding figure for those who received the mRNA vaccine was 0.1
