Almost like it was deliberate right? So upsetting. This is one of the most common ways the cdc obfuscators use to make signals disappear-by counting highest reported single AEs. Of course it’s the mildest because these are the most common. So they get this inane list of AEs and ignore the more severe.

There is also something very interesting going on with the timelines, although that would probably be outside the scope of any article.

I now think they held back the CDC + Oracle team's paper for as long as humanly possible:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X22015456

"Received 9 June 2022, Revised 10 December 2022, Accepted 14 December 2022, Available online 23 January 2023, Version of Record 8 February 2023."

I think they would have just delayed publication forever if not for Aaron Siri starting to write his series about v-safe in mid-Nov 2022, which I think pushed them towards publication.

It was _revised_ in Dec 2022, accepted in just 4 days, published fairly quickly after that. I wonder what happened there?

But then again, I am just a conspiracy theorist. So what the heck do I even know? :-)
