Even though the virus has only infected 34,482,925 and caused 619,162 deaths, the count is still growing as more people are getting infected every day. Your minimizing of this situation is criminal and if we were in a world war with those numbers, you would be screaming to the roof tops with alarm. The word for that is hypocrisy.

Finally, you call the vaccine “experimental.” That is the term given to a vaccine that hasn’t met the full requirement of the FDA’s approval process. Rather than make shameful comments on your thinking I will explain what is happening:

The vaccines for COVID, at this stage in the FDA approval process, are reaching the day for full approval. Just a little more time. There have been multiple decisions along the way, including negotiations with the companies about what goes on the product label and how the companies can advertise the shots. The lawyers have to make money too! It is “highly likely” that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines will be fully approved by the FDA as early as the second half of this year, said Lawrence Gostin, director of the World Health Organization’s Collaborating Center on National and Global Health Law. The shots, he said, have already demonstrated to be “safe and highly effective” in millions of Americans.

Indeed! The deaths from the side effects of the massive number of vaccinations performed, are a showing a stunning safety record. The percentage of people who have died from the side effects is only 0.0017% (U.S.) among people who got the vaccine.

Historically, the impact of anti-vaccination claims has been profound. For example, it has led to a resurgence of measles in the United States and Europe, despite the fact that the disease was declared eliminated in the U.S. back in 2000. Some of those same anti-vax promoters are back in business today. We can’t let this anti-vaxx hysteria undo the progress against COVID that has been made.

Finally, Scientists have been studying vaccines using the mRNA platform for at least seven years. Based on all of the data available to date, these mRNA vaccines have shown a good safety profile. mRNA vaccines are quicker and easier to produce than traditional vaccines. Already, vaccines using mRNA are now being studied in clinical trials for HIV, herpes, the Zika virus, rabies, and influenza. On the horizon are personalized cancer vaccines. If we need a vaccine to head off a deadly variant (A Chinese gain of function?) we will need the mRNA platform to quickly meet the challenge.

“Even though the virus has only infected 34,482,925 (that we know of) and caused 619,162 deaths,” (majority had comprised immune systems and cormoribities plus a positive test).

My MIL passed RIP. She had heart issues and lung issues, and in and out of surgery and hospital for about two years. In the end last fall she Went in for breathing issues, they sent her home after 2 weeks..no covid pos test. They were testing. Her son took her back the same night. Diagnosed with covid. Passed a week later.

Numbers and stats are simply manipulated these days to fit a narrative you choose to side with or get funding from. There are a bit more then 6000+ reports of death in the vaers data base now.

Don’t vax me bro.
