I've seen several posts on Twitter from Canadian doctors reporting serious vaccine adverse effects to their local Health Units, only to receive smug form letters back from the Medical Officers of Health stating they independently assessed the reported events and deemed that they didn't "meet the criteria" for known adverse effects.
All without reviewing medical records, examining patients or performing diagnostic tests or interviewing the physician for further information.
One such letter I saw stated that "we've already taken the liberty to contact the patients themselves and told them to proceed with their second dose ASAP".
One of the doctors was actually from Lytton BC that just burned down.
That's one of the outcome of not following a rigorous scientific method for testing new treatments. If an adverse effect (e.g death) happens on 1 in 10000 people, it's not necessarily going to be caught with preliminary trials on 35000 people. Then, when the treatment is applied to 3 billion people, it becomes a real issue that can be underreported (or overreported) because the people in charge of reporting it and turning it in litterature are biased. In our case, they want the vaccine to work perfectly, unlike a double-blind experiment, and this is well documented to affect outcomes.
I would honestly trust a pharma company if they weren't pressured to put out a vaccine so quickly, but right now the stakes are too high and they had to take this approach. I'd rather take my 99.99% chance at surviving covid than playing russian roulette with potentially one of the most risky path science has ever taken during the course of humanity.
That's a surprising amount of anecdotal evidence considering we're told there are almost no reports of adverse effects.. wtf
