Universally, accepted medical ethics according to which our system runs suggests that biases in the direction of finding side-effects of medications is generally good. Doctors don’t report about every patient to VAERS but about those that are worth reporting about.
I do think that for people with signifanct side-effects describing them is no unnecessary burden and those descriptions is what I’m looking for.
A pure poll would better be done on mechanical turk, survey monkey a similar service that actually give you a representative sample. If someone wants to run such a poll I’m would be happy to see the results.
A general LessWrong survey in the form of our previous survey that includes the standard questions of previous surveys while also including questions both about COVID-19 infection and side-effects while also including questions about vaccine’s and side-effects would be another worthwhile project. It’s a while since we had a survey and a survey that includes risks of both COVID-19 infection while also includes possible risks of vaccine would be very helpful for making useful decisions.
Surely a poll would be better—easier for people to answer, less risky of bias.
