What does this mean? Since it's relatively new, how can it "never" be? Seems to me that the side effects, as evidenced in this thread, are still somewhat unknown.
I'm not here to say that the vaccine IS the culprit, but the coincidence deserves some investigation.

eh, I believe that was sarcasm.

Hi @littlenoise You’re spot on that the all side effects from the vaccine and the actual Covid-19 virus are still unknown. Since this is still a new virus with multiple variants continuing to develop, it will be years before we can get clear data. The vaccine is proving to be an incredibly powerful tool in our fight to get this pandemic under control and the data that is available is showing no more side effects for this vaccine than our routine flu vaccinations. It’s just that it’s new and therefore controversial.
I also had some re-emerging neurological symptoms with my first vaccine. After extensive testing with my transplant team and neurologist at Mayo, I was cleared to get my second dose. The threat of actually getting the virus still completely outweighed possible compilations from the vaccine. The 2nd shot went off without a hitch and all my symptoms disappeared in a few weeks.
From reading other posts from @bustrbrwn22 I believe this particular post was an attempt at sarcasm which doesn’t always translate well in a written forum.
