      The sad irony, if you had made this claim - that our vaccine surveillance systems were not adequately tracking instances of such adverse events - a week earlier, I might have thought "gosh, maybe he's right, maybe that obvious thing got overlooked." But after a week....

      The surveillance system is quite robust. U R right. The issue is that Post-vaccine COVID disease/deaths and thromboembolic events are excluded as being vaccine related and dropped. They will not be detected or acted on urgently...until possibly later. Much later.

      I don’t know if this is true or not. But maybe a more reasonable idea would be to suggest dvts and PEs get included in the surveillance system. It may not be your intention, but you come across, at least to prominent antivaxxers, as someone trying to spread fear and doubt.

      It’s not true and it’s not how pharmacovigilance works.

      Thanks. That’s what I thought. But I assumed he wasn’t just making it up.

      Replying to @JHowardBrainMD @notdred and

      If you look at the ACIP meeting, they have, for one example, a slide about all deaths after vaccines in longterm care facilities amd go over whether that’s a safety signal. No deaths - or other serious events - are ignored. But they may conclude they’re not vaccine related.

      Replying to @doritmi @JHowardBrainMD and

      I think what he means is “we need to do a separate analysis just of people that had COVID before to see if there’s more risk, and that separate analysis has not been done.” That might be right (that not done).

      Except that there’s no biological reason to do it. May as well invent any possible issue he wants and then complain that the FDA isn’t analyzing it. It just doesn’t make sense.

      I have to say thang whether that is a plausible thing to look at is outside my lane, and I’m going to leave it to you experts. Dr. N is welcome to try and convince the experts to do that sub analysis.

      Problem is that it’s just inventing something for the FDA to chase their tails over. Then anti-vaxxers can say “why aren’t they looking at this??” It’s just bad faith all the way down.

      Replying to @notdred @doritmi and

      Yup. And if the FDA does look at it urgently, antivaxxers will find something else. It's a page from the same playbook they've been doing for years, and Dr. N is, unknowingly I believe, contributing to that.

          I'm sure you are right about science deniers. They think pigs fly too. But, as it pertains to the immunological concern I've raised, @US_FDA @pfizer @CDCDirector MUST adjudicate the risk I've flagged and rule it out urgently. I'd love nothing more than to be wrong about this.
