One of the main reasons for the current low uptake of the COVID mRNA bivalent booster (less than 43 million doses administered) is the scary anecdotes of side effects overreported in the media.
These stories are not effectively countered by presenting unexciting low-risk data, or the equally boring but true knowledge that the more immunity you have the better off you are against COVID’s short- or long-term side effects. You will likely get less sick and you will recover more quickly and completely.
But fear of a rare side effect overcomes reasoned reassurance every time.
There is also some evidence that the mRNA vaccines still decrease viral load and therefore slow spread at least short term, but of course, no one is megaphoning this important data. Perhaps the whole idea of countering emotion with logic is destined to fail because emotion is a far more powerful response deep in the human brain. Perhaps the emotional narrative of teens rarely developing myocarditis from the jab (latest Israel data of 4.8 cases per 100,000 persons) can only be countered by the far the more common devastating stories of heart or lung or brain problems from the virus itself.
In my practice, I have certainly seen many cases of the latter and none of the former.

I consider this a complete propaganda hit piece.
When ten and eleven year olds are having heart attacks,
something we’ve never seen before in these numbers, something
is up.

I agree. A pure BS article.
“Hey Ma, looky here - I’ve got linguine in my veins!”
“...scary anecdotes of side effects overreported in the media.”
What media would that be? Sure is not the legacy media.
Rare side effects are rare if they happen to someone else.
"Likely get less sick"? Prove it. I'll wait. And while you're at it, prove that "COVID" is a greater danger to me and 99%+ of the population than the flu.
I could as easily claim that if you wear an onion on your belt, you'll get "less sick".
Pardon me for being rude, but Siegel has his head up his @ss with this article. It’s a boatload of BS & considering where his head appears to be, the BS is what you’d expect. I wonder how much he’s being paid by Big Pharma. His name needs to be added to the Nuremberg 2 list (for pushing the gene juice to start with + this bunch of lies, which are getting people killed).
There's an easy way to show confidence in the safety of a "vaccine", voluntarily accept financial costs of those that receive the vaccine and suffer the "rare" side effects.
Do not ask for or accept financial immunity.
Put your Family's Money where your Mouth is.
Or shut up.
Every single word written by “The Hill” is a propaganda hit piece. They are truly a mouth organ for Capitol hill.
“I could as easily claim that if you wear an onion on your belt, you’ll get “less sick”.”
There is more truth to the onion claim than there is claims about the clot shot not causing serious harm to a large number of those who received it.
When prices rise for younger age groups...you might take notice....The bean counters don't care what they died from...its all about the numbers that died ...
Earlier tonight I addressed a guy that was giving testimony
in the last few days, who said that Remdesivir had caused
3.00% more deaths, and increased Renal faiure by 20.00%.
Here’s an article about Remdesivir from January. It tells
quite a different story. It’s from the New England
Journal of Medicine, and addresses people with early onset
of Covid, who were helped in 87.00% of cases over the
placebo.
Three-day useage, shouldn’t cause renal failure, if
monitored properly, and all hospitals do on meds that can
negatively impact renal function.
Let’s not forget that Remdesivir went through trials and
was placed on the market anyway. There must have been a
need for it that justified it being approved for use.

If the vax is so great, remove the EUA for it, and let us sue them for adverse events. If not, no deal.
The emergency, if there ever was one, is long ago over. So stop hiding behind an EUA.
Time to put up or shut up.
Journal of Medical Ethics
Booster mandates in young adults are expected to cause a net harm: per COVID-19 hospitalisation prevented, we anticipate at least 18.5 serious adverse events from mRNA vaccines, including 1.5–4.6 booster-associated myopericarditis cases in males (typically requiring hospitalisation). We also anticipate 1430–4626 cases of grade ≥3 reactogenicity interfering with daily activities (although typically not requiring hospitalisation). University booster mandates are unethical because they: (1) are not based on an updated (Omicron era) stratified risk-benefit assessment for this age group; (2) may result in a net harm to healthy young adults; (3) are not proportionate: expected harms are not outweighed by public health benefits given modest and transient effectiveness of vaccines against transmission; (4) violate the reciprocity principle because serious vaccine-related harms are not reliably compensated due to gaps in vaccine injury schemes; and (5) may result in wider social harms. We consider counterarguments including efforts to increase safety on campus but find these are fraught with limitations and little scientific support. Finally, we discuss the policy relevance of our analysis for primary series COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
YOUR SCIENCE ARE BELONG TO US.
They seemed to make a big Left turn about 24-36 months ago.
Lately, its articles have been insufferable.
It’s like Nancy was writing all the articles.
Where’s the fat Pfizer broad running away from the questions?
