Pretty strong words and claims while providing no data to refute the paper
Yes...I'll post the paper to HN when it's live. We're still finalizing analyses and writing the paper and I'm not at liberty to share it yet.
As someone who was trying to conceive while the vaccine rolled out, this isn’t surprising. People were regularly reporting basal temperature spikes, delayed ovulation, and delayed periods. This is a community that is extremely data-oriented, since with the right measurements you’re able to predict your fertile (or non-fertile) window. I was disappointed to see how little research there was into menstruation at the ti…
I think (at least) three big problems intersect here: 1. the sci/med establishment seems to have some ongoing ~bias issues that I don't fully understand when it comes to listening to and taking lay people seriously (especially women) 2. it's hard to do complex synthesis of relative risks and rewards across different studies measuring different things for different reasons 3. we've had a lot of uninformed and maliciou…
That is to say that your sister may have experienced the same effects even if she had taken the booster.

I live in Canada. Here, unvaxxed weren't even allowed to air travel domestically. Nor did they recognize a negative PCR test or past infection natural immunity. Compassionate grounds such as taking care of sick family member, funeral etc were also not exempted. Everyone who were COVID+ despite being vaxxed were allowed to fly, go to gym, restaurant etc. Meanwhile, an unvaxxed person wasn't allowed to do the same even…
>Everyone who were COVID+ despite being vaxxed were allowed to fly, go to gym, restaurant etc This isn't true at all, plenty of businesses have a no-symptoms policy. On the flip side, I don't think they could effectively screen everyone anyway.
We still have them actually in July 2022. Kids aren't allowed to go to summer camp without being 2 dose vaxxed. Travellers who are unvaxxed need to show a negative test at airport, another negative test on 8th day and quarantine for 14 days.

1. Covid vax does not prevent long covid: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/05/25/long-covid-... 2. Healthy young people under 50 or even 60 were not dying or getting hospitalized. Whatever risk they want to take, they should be able to take it without mandates. Since the vax does not prevent infection or transmission, one is only taking individual risk and not affecting others.
> Healthy young people under 50 or even 60 were not dying or getting hospitalized. Lies, damn lies, and statistics. https://www.latimes.com/projects/california-coronavirus-case... By 35 and again by 50 your risk of death's increased. By 60 you're already seeing a disproportionately large amount of deaths.

Here's how the Ontario's hospitalization and death rate looks based on age and vax status in the 4 month period:

Even before the vaccinations, the pre-vaccine infection fatality rate in anyone under 50 or even 60 was absolutely tiny. Look at page 1475 of this which shows the IFR pre-vaccine based on each age year:

Many people had concerns about the vaccine rollout. Not because we were worried about some 5G nanoparticle Bill Gates conspiracy nonsense but because of the potential unknown side effects. Doing a trial on a few hundred thousand and then rolling out to billions is like testing your changes locally and then pushing them straight to production. "But human bodies are not anything like software dev" I hear you say. You'r…

How’s that study disputed? That study is not alone either. NEJM has similar studies too. Your link seems to be an outlier. Denmark, UK, Scotland, and other provinces in Canada also show the same higher rates in boosted and fully vaxxed than unvaxxed. Walgreens data for US also shows this. Look at page 3 of: https://www.walgreens.com/businesssolutions/covid-19-index.j... Canadian government seroprevalence data also sh…

Please explain why does your data seem to be an entire outlier from Ontario, Alberta, Scotland, UK and Denmark data?
You also haven't explained how that Lancet study for UK has been disputed.
Nor have you explained how a highly vaxxed country like Canada had 60% of the population infected in past 5 months and how that reduced infection and transmission?

Sure once a year for flu shots with different strains. This is the exact same protein again and again. Nothing like this has been done before outside of allergy vaccines from what my allergist told me who is to say at the very least skeptical about it.
Why would it be the same protein used then, if that happened? The booster trials for delta and omicron compared the advantages of changing the protein to using the same shot, and used the same shot because it was observed to work well in trials. Also, again, the tetanus and rabies vaccines have regular boosters, with exactly the same formulation. So what is it they claim hasn’t been done before and why?

These side effects are not rare at all. These side effects should have been caught in the original vaccine trials. The fact that it comes out now tells you something went very wrong in the trials. In a functioning science, a careful postmortem of the vaccine trials would be in order.
Perhaps you already know, but initial vaccine trials are not performed against menstruation age (aka likely to become pregnant) women. It is considered medically unethical to do so. That is an obvious double edged sword: 1. It prevents birth defects from occurring with trial participants, because this product has not yet been fully studied and approved. 2. It reduces the initial knowledge of any female-specific issue…
that's false.
