As I understand, for 300 million innoculated, 6000-10000 will die, and 300,000 will be disfigured or debilitated - for something that may not come. Even if that's off by an order of magnitude, that's not something to be taken lightly.

Not sure where you get your numbers - they are off by at least an order of magnitute.

I see 600 dead, about 3-6,000 debilitated, according to the actuarial figures that keep getting cited (2 deaths per million, 10-20 injuries per million) in the public media.

But, it doesn't matter. The President closed the issue on the debate by allowing each person to decide for him or herself whether to accept the risk by getting innoculated. If you don't want the shot, you don't have to get it.

I intend to get it.

CDC.

There are two different figures given in the studies. One by the distributors of the vaccines, and another of doctors seeing patients afterwards. In the first, the death rate is a little over one per million, in the other, it is around 15 per million. Severe response was about 10 per million by the first, and around 1 in a thousand by the second. Total numbers of vaccines given post WWII, IIRC, were less than 20,000,000 per year for non-military.

In 1960 Indianapolis, by the higher figures, there would have been none or one death and forty-five serious responses. Given that it went on year after year, who would notice? I mean, who would have known 5 years ago that 100,000 a people a year die to misprescriptions and doctors not washing properly in surgery?
