There was some lack of clarity. Most people produced antibodies from this vaccine. Antibodies to COVID-19, that is. Some small portion produced antibodies to VITT(?) or whatever and only some of them experienced complications from that, which is what you were referring to. It took me a few minutes to understand what you were saying, too.

Please quote the part of my comment that you believe is political.

I talked about how rare it was.

No one in this thread has made any political comments, except all the people hunting for imaginary people making this political.

Dismissing COVID vaccines as being ineffective is, sadly, political, and it wasn't clear if you were talking about COVID antibodies or the different antibodies that caused this rare side effect.

What are you reading that comes off as him dismissing anything?

I've already explained everything above. If I cared, I might benupset for getting downvotes when I never once disagreed with anything anyone else said in this thread, instead I'm just disappointed and bemused in the complete lack of reading comprehension shown. I choose to believe that rather than it being malice and trolling, because it simply isn't clever enough.

Literally the only person who hadn't said anything political...

Literally haven't disagreed with a thing you said, yet here we are...
