I have seen 8 specialists in padt 1.5 years. And 15+ bloodtests as recent as 2 days ago.

They reviewing my case for a case study at ubc med

Anyone else feel free to armchair opinion and be skeptical.

Did the vax cause the issues directly? Probably not.

Did it trigger somehting dormant already in a cascading affect? Possibly...

I'm sorry; I assumed by "doctors" you meant "two GPs", not "over half a dozen specialists".

Out of interest, what have the doctors ruled out? I know your personal opinion is "the vaccine did it", but that was hardly the only thing going on in your life at the time, and n=1 doesn't give a lot of opportunities for a comparison.

I'd be interested in reading the case study, too, once pre-prints are available.

Given every human body is interacting with the world in myriad complex ways, how could you possibly know that your symptoms are caused by the vaccine? Out of the 1000 other factors which affect human health? Isn’t it just a cognitive bias because there is political drama about the vaccine to connect it to our personal experience?

This challenge is why we use randomized controlled trials to investigate the effects of treatment… they are the best tool we know of that can actually measure cause and effect.

> how could you possibly know that your symptoms are caused by the vaccine?

They can't, and often neither can the doctors. That is one of the major practical reasons why vaccinations should be voluntary - it is quite hard to assess the evidence of what exactly medicine does. Some things take a while for the evidence to really form a meaningful pattern.

It was like them declaring the vaccine safe and effective after a few months of trials - that isn't a crazy standard but if the vaccine literally caused people to drop dead after 12 months for some weird reason they just couldn't have detected it because not enough time had passed.

...and they do not exclude rare but real bad side effects.
