Ridiculous. All vaccines can have side effects, of course there were going to be people who had adverse responses to the COVID vaccines. Disbelieving people about this is an absolute joke.
Unfortunately it is hard to prove things like CFS (regardless of vaccines). If we believe all claims then some will rort the system. I have no opinion on how to deal with it.
How many actually will vs how many innocents you just abandon. Like how many people actually presented to doctors or hospital after getting vaxxed, missed work etc.
I think this fear of other human beings behaving in ways you probably would never dream of, nor would you expect of almost everyone you know, is misguided.
Society can afford a few mooches if it's the price of helping the needy. We support an entire class of mooches with stuff like CGT discounting and that doesn't help anyone.
Only Harvey Norman is excused from mooching because... reasons.
Oh and Centrelink themselves via #robodebt.
