There's a disturbing pattern that has emerged over the past few years: Whenever a public figure dies or has a major health problem, some people blame it on the COVID-19 vaccine. Case in point: Google searches for "Damar Hamlin COVID vaccine" skyrocketed after the Buffalo Bills player collapsed on the football field last week. So did searches for Bob Saget and the vaccine, and Betty White and the COVID-19 vaccine after their respective deaths.
Data even show that there is a solid group of people who mistakenly believe that the COVID-19 vaccine — which doctors and major health organizations have repeatedly stressed is safe — is responsible for a sizable number of deaths. In fact, one recent survey found that 1 in 4 Americans believe that someone they know died from the COVID-19 vaccine.
Unfortunately, experts don't think this phenomenon is likely to go away. "The vaccine has become a scapegoat for a range of things," Thea Gallagher, a clinical assistant professor of psychology at New York University Langone Health and co-host of the Mind in View podcast, tells Yahoo Life. But what's behind this fear, and why does it keep coming up? Here's the deal.
Why do some people immediately blame COVID vaccines after a serious health problem or death?
There are a lot of layers to it, Gallagher says. "When something tragic happens, we want to understand and make meaning of it," she says. "It's very hard for us to tolerate uncertainty and knowing that this could potentially happen to us." In these situations, she says, "People try to look for someone or something to blame." The COVID-19 vaccine has become a lightning rod for these situations because it's newer, she explains.

“experts”
Korin Miller, freelance fabulist.
Ex pert = Has been (ex) + drip under pressure (spurt)
aka premature ejaculation
They should jail people for this.
I’m impressed. MSN only took one douchebag gaslighter to come up with this tripe article instead of the usual three or four.
The house of COVID cards is collapsing.
So when do these “experts” explain wtf so many young athletes are just dropping dead?
in the VAERS database, there are 1m+ injuries and 40k+ deaths caused by the vaxx in the US
there are 200m people who’ve had 1 or more shots.
that’s a 1 in 200 chance of getting hosed.
if these ‘experts’ haven’t figured that out... then it’s just propaganda to push more bs
Slowly but surely more people are questioning “the science” although there are still people worshiping the expertise of Wuhan Flumaster Fauci and the Cult of Pfizer.
Just STFU, Korin — ya capitulating POS
You can’t legislate rumor or gossip in private conversation. It’s called freedom of speech aka talking about that “sudden death” of the elephants in the room.
debunked
Aye, they place their faitt; their, hope; and their love in the golden syringe that king Faucichadnezzar had set up.
They already had a healthcare professional on CNN who admitted 90% of CoVID hospitalizations were for patients WITH CoVID, not FOR CoVID. The house of cards is teetering even more.
This is ridiculous. It’s hardly “tragic” to a person (in the 99nth percent majority of cases, for sane people) when someone you don’t even know bites the big one, sad perhaps. It’s the media to blame for publishing these as “news” stories in the first place that enable people to run with them. They feed the monster, we make fun of the media, the media finds an “expert” to say something-or-other to make them feel happy in their safe space.
Yup....collapsing on basement-dwelling buy-DUNG!
BTW I can’t recall the last time I actually viewed a Commie Newspeak Network broadcast.
Mebbe two decades ago?
You’re assuming that these injections are “delayed action”, which I believe them to be. Maybe delayed for years.
