In the space of an hour just heard that my very dear friend (who is so busy these days, we hardly ever talk) had 2 jabs last year and now has developed a bladder tumor. She was crying and going for a biopsy tomorrow. Then the phone rang and my remote boss told me one of our key contracted providers who is a young man in Boston just learned he had cancer and will be treated at Dana Farber. Knowing how common the jabs are in Massachusetts, I didn't need to ask. Lord have mercy on your people.

I’m sorry to hear about your acquaintance’s death.
Nothing about this particular discussion is political.
Vaccination and possible negative outcomes is not a political conversation, it’s a healthcare and science conversation.
Mentioning that we’re noticing an increased trend of people around us who are vaccinated suffering health consequences is also not political, but rather a natural human instinct. When negative things happen in abnormal capacities, we seek an explanation. We find commonalities. This is often the basis of hypotheses when conducting research.
As a result of noticing commonalities, showing concern for those around us that we care is also not political, but is instead compassionate or, at the very least, sympathetic.
I doubt many of us here want to be right about the vaccines. We ALL have loved ones who would be affected if so. We have skin in the game to NOT be right.
Unfortunately many of the very people we’re concerned about are the people who politicized all deaths during the height of COVID-19 by angrily blaming each and every COVID death on those of us who asked genuine, science-backed questions about treatment and policy. People who openly suggested we be denied any and all treatment just for exploring our own research and exercising our own caution.
And yet, still, we’re concerned for their safety.
