I'm honestly surprised "dizziness" was ever even reported. And GB would be MORE likely to be reported than not. Also the major reporters to VAERS are the drug companies and doctors... they don't seem like they're hiding much or they wouldn't be reporting the majority of the issues.

Basically, your interpretation of the information as "this is being played down and it'll be worse" shows a bias. You're going to keep interpreting through that bias unless you learn to shake it off. Statistics don't innately have bias.

And unless you think you can get people to make medicines for free, yeah, lobbying is gonna happen. (Actually there's a cool NFP that researches treatments/cures for syndromes that aren't common enough to receive enough attention from the drug companies. When they find a drug that gets sidelined for whatever its original purpose was, but shows promise in an area where there are maybe 100 people affected world wide... they develop it. Cool idea and really the only effective way to do it. Clearly this would not work otherwise.)
