Has that ever happened in vaccine studies? What would the biological path be that would cause you to have a severe reaction from the vaccine but not from the disease itself? Why wouldn't that already be present the data around the millions of people that have already been infected by the disease?
The type of severe reactions you'd expect are allergic reactions. They would show up right away, not as an event 2 weeks later. Given that J&J has already done 6 million dosages it seems pretty safe to say that those allergic reactions are pretty much non-existent.
I see a lot of maybe and mights, yet never any actual evidence or example of the fear around vaccine safety or a cogent explanation of HOW these things could happen. That's because you'd have to explain how proteins from the vaccination are somehow more dangerous than the same proteins present in the diseases.
The linked explanation would have been a reason for a longer and wider phase II/III study. However, now that the cat is out of the bag and we've got millions of people who've been dosed for multiple months, that's the study. Until we start seeing severe negative side effects in the 100s or 1000s of individuals, it doesn't make sense to pull a vaccine.
