Shrouded in Mystery...Re: NHS psychologist died after rare reaction to AstraZeneca vaccine, rules coroner

Dear Editor,

Whether one type of vaccine or the other or some other, ordinary people are less likely to know the truth.
The people who were opposed to vaccination were ridiculed or even hated.

I have known people who suffered from CoVID-19 inspite of taking the vaccine; I also know people who have developed strange manifestations like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Myasthenia Gravis, Psoriasis Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. No one will ever know if these manifestations were incidental or causally related to one of the CoVID-19 Vaccines they received.
