Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common but underreported. Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Source: Electronic Support for Public Health–Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (ESP:VAERS) (ahrq.gov)
There is more research that also shows the adverse event reporting is very, very low. I personally know of four friends who had adverse reactions to the C shot that were not reported. I also know of, from years ago, many children who had adverse reactions to childhood immunizations that did not get reported. One doctor told the mother, my friend, that the adverse reaction that left her child permanently disabled happened almost a week after so it couldn't be reported. Are you aware that the adverse event reporting window for some vaccines is two months long?
Btw, I am do not sit with the anti-vaccine or the pro-vaccine groups. I am on Team "Informed Consent" and firmly believe in freedom of choice when it comes to all medical procedures. My hope is that more people will take the time to do thorough research and make a well-educated choice. If one has hours each week to watch fictional tv that adds nothing to one's life, then one has time to do research to make informed choices about one's health. One's choice speaks about what they value the most.
As young parents, Clint and I found ourselves educating doctors and nurses about the shots they were giving out. They had never bothered to read the inserts or look up the ingredients. After my husband had her get an insert from a vaccine and he showed her facts she did not think were true, one nurse told us, "I need to become better educated in this area." That incident and others told us doctors and nurses are not always the most reliable sources of medical information. Patients need to ask if they are being told facts (which can be proven) or merely opinions. Good fact-gathering leads to good decision making. Poor information (esp. based on opinions/biases) will affect decision-making. My love to all.
