> I think it’s reasonable to say these risks were not adequately communicated to the public.
As with pretty much every vaccination for all time, the vanishingly tiny risks are massively outweighed by the benefits.
But yes, the risks should be communicated. Maybe they are not in some areas? I feel like most times when I get a vaccination, I am reminded of the potential risks. Here they always make you wait 15 minutes after the shot for observation just in case there are any immediate adverse affects (this is in Australia).
Here, for the first two COVID shots (at least) there was a reasonably intense screening process which ran through things like heart issues, etc.
