Yeah, we're on the same page. Just a few hours ago, we were looking up Pfizer ads from late October 2020, and, oh look! Ads about deep vein thrombosis and cardiac issues! Just go see your doctor, no product mentioned.

This is right about the time they were getting the size of things from clinical trials, before the first public recipients. So this goes back at least that far.
