So, stating that 35% of people experience it is not a general average? So, stating that ones personal experience gives one a different perspective than one who has not had the same experience is not understanding? Ikiris brought up something that warrants discussion and everyone is quick to tell him he is wrong. CPMed.com!!!
My original point was that it might be rare and it might or might not apply to Ikiris, but it has been pointed out many times in this forum that "anti-vaxxers" use probabilities and are chided for it, but when others do it, it is the right thing.
Just to be clear, I am not anti-vax! I have made a personal decision on this and will monitor the situation.

Given that's not what was occuring, your original point is nonsense because you don't understand the conversation, and nobody cares if you're anti-vaxx or a flat-earther or why you made whatever decisions you made because you've written enough posts to be judged on them alone, I'd say you can rest easy and stop the attention seeking.

Ikaris stated his tinnitus acted up after his second shot. - Fact
Numerous posters stated it was rare and not likely caused by the vaccine. - Fact
GGG posted that 35% of people experience tinnitus in a year. - Fact
My post was that rarity only counts when you agree with it. - Fact
Dumping on the person who disagrees with you. - Fact, not just on this thread but all of them.
I am not attention seeking in any sense. You think that only you can have an opinion and unless it is agreed with then the person is attention seeking. Please note that I did not respond to you, but you to me. So who is seeking attention/fulfillment?
As previously stated. You have shown yourself to be a hypocrite and dishonest and all your replies are viewed through that lens.

Here's the thing. There is now no way to know for sure if the vaccine did anything to him. Fact.
You now can't just say well the vaccine gave me tinnitus.

I didn't say it did. That is a fact. I said that he mentioned the coincidence and was going to discuss with his Dr and he was being told by the "experts" on here that it wasn't or if it was it didn't matter because it was rare. It matters to the people that get the reactions and those around them.

Nope, that never happened.

Then there’s the fact that the majority of cases occurred within 1 day, the rest within 19, and the majority resolved quickly.
So if your tinnitus, which emerged some time after the second dose and still lingers today was in fact related, you’d be experiencing something unimaginably rare. Of course that’s not as compelling as jumping to the conclusion that it must be the cause and your doctor will just brush it off.

Please explain how these didn't happen.

No one said definitely that it was unrelated. Fact. We said the odds are that it wasn't related. Also fact, with it being so rare the odds are more likely that it's unrelated. No one said it didn't matter either.

Hang onto that. Looked at objectively you would see that people were heavily implying it.
All I know about it is what Ikaris posted and having had it in the past know that when it shows up there is typically a reason. Ikaris was wondering why and posited a possibility. The Web Dr's on here quickly tried to debunk it.

Not debunk. I think I provided appropriate background information for one to evaluate likelihoods. That you read that and immediately assume that information shows that it’s unlikely to be vaccine based tinnitus is on you. You drew a conclusion based on data you read. Then you argued against your own conclusion.
I happen to agree with your initial interpretation.

Didn’t assume it was unlikely at all and didn’t say it was. I said it t may or may not be. Kept an open mind!

Didn’t start the thread and responded to people that responded to me. Made a simple mistake and acknowledged it. Have you?

Based on the tone of the responses as well as the thanks there was a clear minimization of the issue and a lack of empathy. Honestly it doesn’t matter it’s just the way people position it within this thread is that the vaccines are 100% safe and there’s no chance of any issues.
The reality is that if you’re a healthy person the risk factor is different when considering what Omicron are to healthy people. There is a reason why only half of Canadians are “boosted” and the needle isn’t moving on 5-11 vaccinations.

That reason is human beings are poor assessors of low risks.

As time has progressed, we learn more about the vaccines. We've learned there is a cardiovascular risk especially for men under 40, especially under 25. Now we're learning about a possible indicator related to hearing loss. If you're a healthy person that falls under that category, and also considering the value of natural immunity, I think it's a valid opinion to consider if the vaccine is appropriate under the current circumstances based on personal health situations.
Again, when the risk of COVID is extremely low for a healthy person with Omicron, these issues should be considered as part of informed consent. When I chose to get vaccinated, the risk of the initial strain, and delta seemed to help justify that decision. Now, absolutely not for me personally. Hence why i would not take a booster based on having COVID in December.
All I'm saying is that mandates don't make any more sense and the let's move on from the federal ones.
Are cases creeping up again? ya, they are; who cares. BA.2 clearly seems even less harmful while more transmissible. I hope we don't see aggressive and nonsense restrictions when we should be focusing on protecting those at risk and move on otherwise.
