It seems high, but it if 200M people got it, it works out to 0.075%

That’s one in 1333, which to me does seem high, but not unrealistic.

“Boy, that sure sounds like BS.”

The problem is, no matter which side of the issue you find yourself, you cant get data that you can rely on from those who are being paid to provide it.

Since censorship is applauded by our government when it is applied to covid “alternative approaches” and there is so much marketing in support of vaccines, I suspect the usual graft and corruption is in play.

That informs my opinions quite significantly.

I dont dismiss that number like you do.

VAERS reports 15,000.

VAERS is also acknowledged to under report events, a combination of simple lack of self reporting, and complex forms that time out before they can be filled out on line and overworked medical professionals simply not having the time.

Some estimates are that adverse events are under reported by as much a 10x.

150,000 is sorta possible, but he does himself no favors by citing that as a hard number.

“Boy, that sure sounds like BS.”

Most likely and here’s why:

1. The title to the article reads “Why are people dying after getting the Covid vaccine?” The key word is “after” as opposed to “from.” Just because someone died after receiving the jab doesn’t mean they died from the jab. Indeed, according to the John Hopkins Covid Tracker, 187,215,471 Americans have been fully vaccinated. (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/united-states.) In any population of that size, lots of people are going to die for lots of reasons, particularly when the vaccinated population is skewed towards the elderly and high-risk. Correlation does not mean cause and effect.

2. According to the article, VAERS data was used, at least in part, to calculate the 150,000 jab deaths. However, the disclaimer on the VAERS website reads as follows:

“While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.” (https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html)

In other words, the VAERS data is largely anecdotal and subject to manipulation and bias.

3. I searched the VAERS database for the total number of deaths reported for people who have received two does of the jab, and as of October 9, 2021, there have been 2,323 reported deaths. Based upon the John Hopkins data cited above, of the 187,215,471 people who have been fully vaccinated, .00124% of them have allegedly died from the vaccine. I also searched the VAERS database for the total number of deaths reported for people who have received at least one jab, and as of October 9, 2021, there have been 7,437 reported deaths. According to John Hopkins, a total of 401,819,240 jabs have been administered in the United States. Thus, based upon the VAERS data, the chances of dying from the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd jab is .00185%.

Depends on how they’re being counted. Kinda like how they over counted “covid” deaths.
