I was reported for “discouraging students from covid vaccination”.
I guess in the post-truth world we inhabit this characterisation appears right.

But let me explain what I meant.
A 🧵

If you catch SARS-Cov2 you might die or become injured for life. Recovery from Covid gives you immunity against this virus.

If you get vaccinated against SARS-Cov2 you might die or become injured for life. Vaccination gives you immunity against this virus.

Vaccine injury has been a taboo subject for decades, immunity acquired through infection became so in the last year. Yet even in times of Covid logic, all statements above are undeniable facts. It is the ratio between the two risks that should drive your decision.

Recognition of the risks trumped benefits of AZ vax for under 40. There is also a very strong signal that Pfizer vax is too dangerous for anyone under 25. IMPORTANT: these calculations are based on short-term risks.

So for the age group 25-40 benefits of Pfizer Covid vaccine might overweight risks. Enter potential long-term risks (e.g. to fertility). Look at this table and listen to what happened to the scientist who obtained this data through the FOI request


5/7

This thread is based on publicly available data. However, there is plenty of evidence that underreporting of adverse effects is incentivised, physicians who report often find their concerns dismissed or worse. mRNA vaccine inventor @RWMaloneMD writes

This is why I am cautious about Covid vaccination for anyone under 40, probably even under 50.
I am convinced there is enough data not to touch anyone under 25. Vaccinating young adults with the existing Covid vaccines is reckless. And we, older adults, should speak up.
