The CDC may have shown misleading information at an ACIP meeting to claim that COVID vaccines are safe. The evidence they presented doesn't fully consider important factors.
One issue with their data is that people who get vaccinated are generally healthier, which skews the results. This creates an illusion that vaccines are safer than they might be.
There is also a big problem with under-reporting of vaccine-related side effects, which means we might not be seeing the full picture of safety concerns.

People often downplay their illness, saying it's not serious, like 'it's not Covid', which can be concerning.
It's important to be mindful of hygiene, especially around others, to prevent spreading illness.
Communication about health should be taken seriously, and it's okay to be worried if someone seems unwell.

Czech time series data shows a big increase in deaths after vaccination, suggesting the vaccines might not be safe.
If the vaccines were safe, death rates would stay flat or not increase significantly, but the data shows a clear rise over time.
Health authorities may ignore this data and won't admit they were wrong, which makes it hard for people to trust them.
