Medical professionals generally go on the best scientific advice at the time – sometimes this is wrong. Unlike anti-vaccine nutcases who simply do what we call in the trade “making shit up.”
Of course people have been harmed by vaccines, there are always a couple of people in every million or so who are harmed by vaccines. But far fewer than those who are harmed by the actual disease. Heaven preserve us from people who “do their own research”.

Medical professionals used to prescribe amphetamine and smoking to control weight loss; then there’s the thalidomide scandal of the 60’s and 70’s. They don’t always get it right. Latest evidence; the treatment of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome patients that has been in the news this week. Until HNZ actually addresses the issue of increased excess mortality and acknowledge there are people who have been harmed by the covid vaccines, then this will not go away.

Nice to know we can agree on something. These anti Vax people are idiots .I believe 4 people have die in NZ due to a bad reaction but in 2 cases the people did little to help themselves.
After a heart problem I survive by taking 22 tablets each day and any of these pills has the potential to react with other medicines but it does not mean that they are not safe or bad .
