This is just anecdotal, but I personally have lingering issues from my vaccinations - I started experiencing moderately intense joint pains a few weeks after my booster shot, and they've been cyclically recurring for the past 15 months. I was afraid that it was Rheumatoid Arthritis and saw multiple rheumatologists, who told me that the vaccine likely caused my issues, and that they had seen a big uptick in young men coming to them with problems ever since the vaccines were deployed. Another friend of mine developed permanent tinnitus after his second shot.

Keep preaching that the vaccines cause trouble and you'll find trouble--whether or not it actually exists. Anecdotal evidence is useless, VAERS "evidence" is useless--it exists to provide hints as to where to look for trouble but doesn't prove trouble no matter what pattern you see because it can be just a reporting issue.

Many people in my close circles got the shot then rushed to the emergency room within usually 24 hours to severe heart pain. And all these people continue to get covid even after having taken the shot. So glad I did not risk it.

If they think it's going to cause that kind of trouble you can get that result even if the needle is filled with saline.

I haven't even heard of severe heart pain being a known side effect.

By the same token, if the vast majority of doctors and even people who take the shots are (completely unjustifiably) certain they can't be the cause of any issues, then problems will tend to be under reported. And indeed this is exactly what is going on, helped along by financial and professional/reputational incentives being almost 100% aligned in favor of the foregone conclusion that "the shots are a net risk benefit."

Your comment is a great example of this sort of bias: you haven't heard of severe heart pain being linked to the vaccines, despite the fact it is a very common symptom of myo/pericarditis, which are known to be caused by these injections.

> rheumatologists, who told me that the vaccine likely caused my issues

That rheumatologist's name? Albert Einstein. And everybody clapped. Eyeroll.

I think the microchips are getting to your brain.
