In addition to the official statements, numerous reports of possible vaccine-related adverse effects have been communicated by physicians, published as case reports (including the recent one on severe jaundice) and through other media. These are often ridiculed, ignored or blocked by the social-media channels. A thorough evaluation of such cases is important. Censorship and the dismissal of all reports as “quackery” does not enhance public acceptance of the vaccines, but rather breeds distrust in health authorities and reinforces the perception of their focus on personal or political gains above the health interests of the people.
