Imma go ahead & move this pile of buzzword propaganda into karmaโs W column. ๐คก
When we talked about the potential side effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine last year, Michel made it clear any chance of serious complications from the shots would be orders of magnitude smaller than the chance of complications from the pandemic illness itself. If COVID vaccines caused clotting disorders or myocarditis in a tiny percentage of those who received them, he assured me, COVID would lead to stroke or heart inflammation in a much larger group.
Perhaps his hypothesis was wrong, & the course of his cancer had had nothing to do with the shots. Or maybe the cancer & the mRNA vaccine were connected, but the risk of getting immunized was still just a tiny speck beside the benefits. Applying the same logic that heโd used before, he decided it made sense to go public with this theory. If other people with the same lymphoma felt the need to hedge their bets, they might consider holding off on the Pfizer & Moderna shots.
