"I am an Army ER physician and know Dr. Long. Can vouch for the authenticity of this (though I know most of you will just think “Who’s this rando?”)
Since the DOD has rolled out vaccines this year, I have see about 30 or so soldiers in the ER personally with adverse vaccine reactions. Some were minor. At least 2 were myocarditis, 3 had blood clots in the extremities, and 2 had pulmonary embolisms. All were healthy and in their 20s. Those were just my personal patients, and I’m just one doctor at my shop (out of 7).
I’ve easily seen the same number of dependents (mostly spouses or retirees) with adverse reactions. Most of them had symptoms without a clear diagnosis (I.e. unspecified abdominal or chest pain, difficulty breathing, strange rashes). Though I have seen one case of Guillain-Barré syndrome, and a colleague at my MTF has seen at least one stroke after the vaccine. I suspect many of the unspecified symptoms are due to micro thrombosis."

That’s great the ER physician came out to say that. Maybe you will get more coming out of the woodwork to reply. Thanks for sharing!
