cognitive dissonance Geoff.
most medications have side effects,
and there is more under reporting then over reporting of these side effects.
busy doctors probably aren't going to do a lot of unpaid cumbersome paperwork every time someone gets muscle aches or a migraine or vomiting or a rash after taking something.
how would you know anyway unless you "look"
and where is the incentive for doctors and governments and drug companies to "look"
there isn't one
I was primarily pointing out the bullshit that
was Bobby's meme, rather than talking about
medications and/or their potential side effects.
He posted a claim that said there were 1,291
"side effects" from COVID vaccines.
And I agree; of course there are side effects
from many prescription drugs, but they all vary
in type, degree, and the person taking them.
And all CMI's clearly list them, so it's not as
though the doctors and/or the pharmaceutical
industry are trying to hide anything.
You also say that "there is more under reporting
than over reporting of these side effects". I've not
seen any evidence supporting this; it needs a citation.
The classic, current example is COVID vaccination:
Some people have no side effects. Many people
have reported side effects—such as headache,
fatigue, and soreness at the injection site—that
are generally
mild to moderate and go away within
a few days.
Anaphylaxis after COVID vaccination is rare.
It has occurred at a rate of approximately
5 cases
per one million vaccine doses administered.
Most patients with myocarditis or pericarditis
after a COVID vaccination responded well to
medicine and rest and felt better quickly.
Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome
syndrome (TTS) has been rarely observed
after J&J/Janssen COVID vaccination and has
occurred in approximately
4 cases per one milliondoses administered.
