Are there examples of this for vaccines?

mRNA is metabolized in 5-7 days, so there's virtually no risk of this. Very rare short term myocarditis risk, yes. Otherwise, unbelievably safe.

You compound risk with repeated exposures. In this case through boosters because the vaccines don't work well enough. It's one thing to get a one time shot that lasts for life than getting 6 shots over 3 years.

Yes, but what risk are we talking about. Where can I find some numbers

This is what I’m curious about. Articles like this equate long-term Covid uncertainty with long-term vaccine uncertainty, which seems like utter bunk.

Presumably vaccines affecting babies in the womb. Can't recall concrete examples.
