First, due to the time the article was written, in which there were not as many cases reported in the literature as currently, as correctly described in the letter “In a recent review of the neurological side effects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, 300 cases of SC2VaG were described”.<span><sup>1</sup></span> Second, due to limited diagnostic resources in the case, a public hospital in southern Brazil. The absence of diagnostic tests, such as those mentioned by Finsterer et al. (electroneuromyography, investigation of cytokines, chemokines and glial markers in the CSF), are factors that must be highlighted before defining the causality of the association. Added to the two previous points is the sensitivity to the moment of the pandemic in which the article was produced. The beginning of an important vaccination campaign, in the midst of the growth of anti-vaccine groups, inspires caution when associating causality without the possibility of ruling out, through more elaborate tests, other causes. Finally, the level of evidence that a case report has in comparison to other scientific productions is highlighted.
