Everything in the opening post holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have.

Agreed on Injection-site reactions, with one qualification that I think matters. The reasoning holds for the case as described. Change the starting assumption and it does not, and the starting assumption is the part nobody states.

I have no financial interest in anything named in this thread and I want to say so before I comment on Injection-site reactions, because it is the sort of subject where it matters.

Before the thread moves on from Injection-site reactions — what is the sample size behind the claim? I am not being difficult; I have seen the same figure quoted from an n of four and from an n of four hundred.

v.fontaine, post #18: Appreciated. The plain phrasing does more work here than a longer post would. Go to post

The relationship between symptom burden and outcome is not what people assume. Feeling worse is not evidence of a larger effect and feeling nothing is not evidence of an inactive preparation.

A qualification I should have led with rather than closed on.

On Injection-site reactions the community has more anecdote than the confidence in this thread implies, and I include my own contribution in that.
