And a small number of lot numbers produce 95% of the adverse reactions.

I don't remember if I mentioned it here already, but I asked my wife if her MA aspirates, and she said "of course". I asked if she has observed to make sure, and she said "no, but everyone is taught to aspirate". Then I Googled, and the CDC recommends to not aspirate, because it might be uncomfortable for small children. Most of the results I found said some extreme position of "always" or "never" aspirate.
There's no "consensus", and "trust the science" is BS used by ignorant/corrupt individuals.
CDC will soon be changing their minds again, predictably.
