You need to update your belief that only young men are at risk for heart damage. Latest studies show women are at equal or greater risk of heart damage.

Vinay,

Good points. Re: Point #7: The CDC and FDA have the simplistic notion that any sort of negative news on the covid vaccines would reduce trust in the vaccines. By this reasoning, they did everything to ignore and suppress bad news on the vaccines. As noted, cases in point are the J&J vaccine and recommending covid vaccines for healthy people under 40 years or so, esp if they have had covid. You can be sure that the recent reports of "long vax" will not be investigated by the CDC and FDA, at least publicly.

Of course, suppressing bad news is the best way possible to undermine public support for the vaccines. This is a strong signal to the world that dishonesty is acceptable. In the same spirit of naive thinking, they blame the loss of credibility of public health agencies on "anti-vaxxers". The CDC and FDA don't even understand that honesty is a pillar of good public health. They've dug themselves into a deep hole...and are still digging!
