It’s still rare except in the imaginations of the anti-vaxxer crowd.
Regardless of the cause, there certainly does appear to be more reporting of younger folks and elderly folks with no KNOWN underlying cause dropping dead and dying.
One of the problems with NEW drugs or therapies is that people are on the lookout for its’ effects unreported or considered possible during trials. Please look up the following drugs in order to see what happens to drugs which exhibit toxicities post FDA approval: trovafloxacin, nesiritide, troglitazone.
To be fair, there are people who believe vaccines are too dangerous to use under any circumstances and that would certainly affect their belief as to the cause of any effect seen post vaccine, but the numbers of these SADS reports seem to be outside the normally reported expected numbers. If all of the SADS victims had decent analysis we could find out what really happened.
