It's a vaccine boogey man and is a real thing for some vaccines. There is no evidence that any of the current Covid vaccines cause it.

Essentially what happens in ADE is that you are vaccinated and when exposed to the actual pathogen, you get _really_ sick and often die.

There are definitely people having adverse reactions to the vaccine, there are definitely people that have died from it. The sample size however is massive so it's a risk-reward trade off. There is no doubt that anyone at risk from this disease should get vaccinated.

Kids? Pregnant moms? I think I'd wait on that but it doesn't really apply to me. I'm in my 50s, everyone around me in family is 50+, so we're all vaxxed. I had a pretty robust reaction to the 2nd Moderna shot(2 days wiped out), to the point I'm not getting a booster as I'm not really at risk other than age.
