These numbers are not at all alarming.
Not alarming based on what?
I’ve read that previous, REAL vax’s have been pulled, for much less number of deaths....so, 5K deaths IS alarming, to me.
“Waiting in long lines at schools and clinics, more than 40 million Americans — almost 25% of the population — received the swine flu vaccine before the program was halted in December after 10 weeks. More than 500 people are thought to have developed Guillain-Barre syndrome after receiving the vaccine; 25 died. Apr 27, 2009”
Oh, the good old days when public health entities actually cared.
I’m not suggesting that 5K deaths isn’t tragic, it is.
I don’t know vax history enough to compare to prior vaccines, but the basis that i was referring to is the vaccine death rate versus the virus death rate,, so when you consider virus death rate (rounded) 0.5% for a young healthy to 5% for someone with a co-morbidity, then the vaccine’s 0.005% death rate makes it a factor of x100 to x1000 less risky than catching the virus.Everyone has to decide for themselves.
Note - I’m not trying to sell vaccines and haven’t taken it myself.I think there’s other reasons to be leery than this data.I prefer to wait for more data. Maybe Novavax late this year or the one in phase3 trials in UK thats more traditional- made from dead virus cells. I just don’t like seeing alarmism when I think the data doesn’t support it. I think it’s worth the time to follow this data cuz there isn’t much else to go by.
