Someone posted a blog piece that referenced the European adverse events reporting system (http://www.adrreports.eu/en/index.html) in order to try to make the case that there are tons of serious side effects and deaths from people receiving the vaccine. In reality, the adverse event profiles of the Covid-19 vaccines are not much different than adverse event profiles of other vaccines (I looked at an infant hepatitis vaccine and an influenza vaccine for comparison). Most of the adverse events have nothing to do with the vaccine, but are reflective of the general health of the population receiving them.
You can look at the European reporting system, or the US reporting system (VAERS). These systems report adverse events, but do not show causality. They provide information that statisticians can use to determine if more of event X happens in people who received the drug vs people who did not receive it.
When I looked at the European system, I did note that 18 or 19 deaths were associated with one of the vaccines (I did not look at the other vaccines). Of those deaths, one looked like it might have been causally related to a vaccine. A young man died of Guillain-Barre syndrome, which is a rare side effect of vaccination. Other than that, when we try to interpret such findings, we have to keep in mind that the Covid-19 vaccines were prioritized to elderly people and people with certain medical conditions that make them more prone to serious Covid-19 illness. Since both of these groups are more likely to die than the general population, there is no reason to think that their deaths were related to the vaccine. So, 18 deaths out of how many vaccine recipients, compared to how many deaths in an equal size sample of the same populations who did not receive the vaccine, how does that compare? I don’t know. At this point, I would predict that the number of deaths in the vaccinated group is lower than the deaths in the unvaccinated group, simply because they are significantly less likely to die from Covid-19 at this point.
This stuff though perhaps not understood by the ignorant masses, is not magic. If the vaccine causes death, by what mechanism does it accomplish this? I remember well all the controversy surrounding the MMR vaccine and the fear that it caused autism. At that time the proposed mechanism was Thiomersol (mercury) which was used as a preservative. Well OK there are definitely people who are allergic, and the stuff is toxic in quantity so take it out then! They did, and the result was .....nothing, same autism rate as before.
There was a doctor who tried to say that combination vaccines were doing it. He lost his license. What is the mechanism? HOW is it killing people?
“They rushed out this vaccine!” Well ok then, let’s make a new rule that before anybody gets a shot, they have to sip a whole cup of coffee and chat with the nurses before the shot is given. Doctors must drag their feet as they walk the wards. “No rushing Doctor Jones! Are you trying to get us killed?”
“These experimental vaccines!” This statement is made by those who are ignorant of the testing process. The idea is they are experimenting on us instead of following the years long clinical studies process. More and more tests and experiments while people are dying. Haven’t we had enough of that?
