"But it is something not to be dismissed."

Of course those cases should be fully investigated and monitored. Of the 285 confirmed cases of myocarditis following vaccination, 270 have already fully recovered and 15 remain in progress. Myocarditis has the potential to become serious in some situations, but it's not some horrible woodchipper of human souls. It's inflammation. Usually happens because the body's immune response causes some damage to healthy tissue. Usually resolves quickly. Let's make sure that happens here.

"If you expect to be taken seriously, you should be giving equal weight to the side-effects."

I have, beginning with the early (but rare) reports of anaphylaxis with Pfizer and Moderna. Suggested that people with a history of severe allergic reaction (e.g. people who carry an EpiPen with them everywhere they go) avoid those vaccines in favor of others coming on the market (sadly, Novavax hasn't made it). And when the blood clot reports with J&J happened, I supported the CDC decision to suggest a pause during investigation. The investigation demonstrated that serious events related to that were rare and isolated to a specific cohort. They too should be given fair warning of the potential risks involved.

I absolutely support people making their own informed decisions. But that information requires context. Giving people pieces of information without context in order to sway their decision is manipulative, dishonest, and wrong.

Running a medical experiment on unwilling subjects without testing them beforehand to see if they have conditions that would adversely react to a fractional dose of the first injection is not only manipulative, dishonest, and wrong - it's criminal.

With respect to the so-called vaccines, your criteria for acceptability of the side-effects seems to center around survivability and recovery. I see that as an unwelcome risk with a fortunate outcome.

Yes, information requires context. And good to know you’re open-minded to the informed decisions not congruent with your vax evangelism.

I challenge you to raise any aspect of the vax agenda that is questionable.
