How is your question relevant to vaccine side effects?
'Vaccine' side-effects are a risk. The known risks are required to be published. Usually it takes years to uncover all the risks. So far, some risks have already been published after a very short time. Not widely publicized through State-endorsed media, was the attempt made, through the courts, to suppress the release of this data for 55 years.
So, since people act on the advice they accept, this back-and-forth started with who actually bears the risk of the scientific advice they are handed i.e. .....

Science is a market service.
Which means it's the consumer's responsibility to decide whether it's worth the paper it's printed on. His ass is on the line, not some government bureaucrat who has given it a rubber stamp.
It is after all a matter of personal health, at the end of the day, right?
To which the reply was...
daveogg/spizz:
Right. Although I was just reading this and I’m buggered if I understand why people would think they are qualified to take the risk. There is no way back from learning the hard way.
So davespizz is saying, yes there's risk but the consumer doesn't have the scientific knowledge to refuse '[the advice]'.
The problem, here, is that it is taken as a given that there aren't experts on both sides.
So I posed the question....
lexity:
Just curious.... Two people claiming to be experts in science, tell you your life depends on their (conflicting) data.
How do you, personally, go about choosing which one to trust?
To which the answer was....
daveogg/spizz:
50/50. Flip a coin.
Now that on its own, should give any 3rd party reading this, enough to go on. In terms of the level of individual responsibility these guys are willing to take.
I mean, they could have said you have to draw on every single source you can possibly lay your hands on to give yourself the best possible chance of rejecting bad advice.
Instead they choose to: 'flip a coin'. I mean how much more risky can you possibly get?
Then they scramble to bolster this jaw-dropper, with 'scientific consensus', which I proceed to demonstrate argumentatively as being common to both sides(using their own definition).
All along the ad hom is rapidly increasing, from their side. Usually a tell-tale sign, they are losing the will to engage in argumentation, as the only peaceful means(*), to resolve the potential conflict.
