How rare are vaccine deaths these days?

Joshua Garza had a chance to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in January but he passed it up, thinking he didn't really need it.
Now, the 43-year-old Texan is hoping to inspire others to get the shot after he became so ill following his COVID-19 diagnosis that he needed a rare double lung transplant to survive.
"COVID ended up attacking my lungs," Garza, of Sugarland, told ABC News.
After testing positive for COVID-19 in late January, Garza's health deteriorated rapidly. On Feb. 2, when he ended up falling while trying to walk, his wife called for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. He was ultimately transferred to Houston Methodist, where he was put on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine to pump and oxygenate his blood for him.
"It was quick, it was within three weeks, the lungs were already shot," said Garza, who works in the oil and gas industry.
Garza was put on the lung transplant list, and on April 13, successfully underwent surgery. He spent several more weeks recovering and rehabilitating to regain his strength after two months on life support before being released from the hospital on May 27...
"It's much easier to get the vaccine than to go through something like this," Huang said of Garza's case. "He's extremely lucky. Most people in this situation don't make it to the transplant. You can't count on this outcome."
For Garza, he's sharing his story in hopes of helping prevent others from experiencing what we went through.
"If I knew what I know now," he said, "I would have definitely went through with the vaccination."

Blacks have low levels of serum vitamin D too, making them less resistant to covid.
If one can get two healthy replacement lungs then what’s the problem?
ivmmeta.com cool, thanks.
“ This circumstance is just as “rare” as severe complications/reactions from the vaccine...amiright?”

I think that’s a fair statement.
Or take the vaccine and have the same thing happen.
OMG! Even tho I had this “deadly” virus in March 2020 and lived to tell the tale, this story has totally changed my mind about getting the vaccine. /s
You get off on this.
I’ve “seen” you on enough threads to know your deal.
You are just the opposite side of the coin as the people “excited” about vaccine deaths/illnesses.
“Smoker ?”
A joker?
A midnight toker?
How rare are vaccine deaths these days?
Maybe he's related to one of our FRoctors.
RIP Marvin Hagler
Is it time to roll out pictures of the black guys with the huge tongues?
He’s clearly the gangsta of love.
So now you’re concerned. Not so much when young people are dying from the vaxx

Ignore the idiot Luddites around here. Thank you for posting the article. Hopefully, other people will read and comprehend and not unnecessarily suffer.
A gentleman I work with contracted COVID two or three weeks after his first dose. He was very ill, hospitalized, and almost ready to go on a ventilator. The were debating a DNR order. He finally was able to fight it off. Doctors said that the head start the first shot gave him probably saved his life.
He and his wife debated getting the vaccine at all, probably due to listening to crackpot theories like FR is lousy with nowadays.
If he declined the vaccine in January and then contacted COVID that same month I wonder if the vaccine would have left him fully immunized in that short space of time? Also there is no indication (did I miss it?) about when and where he was exposed. It is possible he was already incubating the virus when the vaccine was offered.
please don’t.
“Here is a pic. Notice that nothing is shown from the chest down. It’s pretty easy to deduce what the rest looks like, though. Being ABC, there is no mention of the possibility of smoking, diabetes, etc. Mere propaganda.”

So it’s ok if diabetics and smokers die because you’re not a diabetic and don’t smoke? (Of which there are tens of millions).
Before Covid they were living with whatever disease they had.
