I just got a call from someone with V-Safe, asking about what I told them yesterday. She had no information about my symptoms, so I briefly described the wrist pain, and that I'm having OT after an X-Ray of the wrist found nothing abnormal.
All they had told the caller was my name and phone number, the fact that I'd sought medical help, and that the most recent dose was a Moderna booster in January.
She said the next step would be to file a report with the VAERS database. I then asked where there was any other way to get this into any database of possible vaccine side effects, and she said no, there isn't. The problem with VAERS is that anyone can file reports, and anyone can look at the data, including anti-vaxers who are so sure that the vaccine (any vaccine) is bad that they won't stop to ask "Is this more common in people who had the vaccine than in those who didn't?"
On the other hand, this is a new symptom, with no apparent cause.
