I find my local market organizers don't care many times and let whoever sell homeopathic items and essential oils with false claims.

But it's local!

A lot of times it stuff bought off of Amazon and assembled half hazardously in someone's house so it becomes 'local'

Plenty of great local goods too but I do my due diligence as a consumer and don't just relay on the store to decide if it's good for me.

If someplace is selling something, I don't instantly go "wow, must be 100% safe, no need to take a closer look at this"

I use my noodle and look up brands and products I haven't heard of online before I purchase.

That’s a headline and not a study, I read the study in the article. The study states teens who took 2 doses are x7 as likely versus those with 1 dose. Which means 3 in 100000 (or 1 in 33000) for the first those and 22 in 100000 (or 1 in 5000). That’s way off from 1 in 40.

The findings are still concerning and it’s good that they’re being documented and the research paper is even published on PubMed. And based on the findings, policies across countries are being adjusted. And I learned something new.

But what you stated (1 in 40) is misinformation, and that is not helping anyone. And it makes valid criticism look ridiculous. I’ll leave you with that.
