Hi, I am new here. Not trying to start a debate. I just wanna confirm if this source is reliable as I am genuinely worried.

Random internet commenters on a news story? Not reliable.

The Facebook comments are probably real. Interpret them how you will, but its the exact same type of stuff the OG anti vaxxers would post about MMR, Tdap, Hep B, and other vaccinations for years before COVID was even a thing.

Strong start! Absolutely the right take: comments on internet are real, but their veracity is questionable.

And then a flop of a finish. Zero possibility that some may have had true negative reactions and are simply responding honestly, or a complete write off due to similarities. Just a blanket assertion that they're liars.

This news just popped up today.

Just for the record, I am not an anti-vaxxer. I took all the necessary vaccines and seasonal flu shots. I just want to do my due diligence before getting the shot for me and my family.

You must not be familiar with pre covid anti vaxxers and how they operate on social media; they come out of the woodwork and spam stuff like this all the time. I am sure they are some true negative reactions within the group, but most of it is likely a combination of people who don't understand the concept of correlation =/= causation and people posting straight up lies.

Sorry that I don't happen to believe random Facebook comments from a Detroit local news station post that somehow garnered over 200k comments in 1 week.

I'm familiar with quite a few personalities on social media - which is why my comment was meant for the broader audience and not a self declare "forum troll." (Who follows up my criticism of a blanket dismissal with another dismissal rooted in a faulty assumption.)

A human who disregards (without consideration) everything that doesn't fit their preconceptions is little more than an NPC.

This preprint indicates Heart damage in men.
The median age was 33 years (18-65 years). The sex ratio was 2 females to 29 males.
From what I understand heart damage is permanent in that heart cells don't regenerate or replace themselves like other body tissues.
