Ms. Young, I understand your point and it is valid, but there is a problem when the standard approach of entrusting one’s own physician with your illness isn’t working. By and large, most of the people on this thread are being ignored or placated by their physicians, or their physician just doesn’t know how to help them. You begin to lose trust in the only system of care you have, and VAERS is part of the same system. Additionally, VAERS is only one source of data. Other evidence needs to be considered as well. What I wish is that the few who do seem to have docs who believe them and really are trying to figure this out would ask those physicians to take this problem forward and increase awareness of it through their professional channels. I have personally asked my own neurologist, who practices at an academic medical center, to gather some of his colleagues to research these vaccine reactions. Unfortunately, he does not fall into the group who is motivated to help.
