People say that finding "rare' side effects is proof of just how thorough our surveillance is. In reality, that's evidence of just the opposite. The CDC's own VAERS analysis turned up like 700 possible safety signals, like two-thirds of them potentially stronger than myocarditis. Most of them will be "rare" or totally missed by themselves. But add them up and it can explain mass death. The only "rare" side effects they grasp are the ones that are clinically obvious.

An example of how backwards this is. People stopped favoring the J&J shot because it had some obviously visible "rare" side effects. But the clinical trials actually showed a drop in all-cause mortality (probably due to some real beneficial nonspecific effects that reduced CVD deaths), whereas the mRNA trials did not. It was the best vaccine, but somehow they made it into the worst.
