So, people who get the 2-shot notavax have a 1 in 500 chance of getting myocarditis?

And what are the odds that said person will die of the ‘rona?

-Both the odds if they actually catch a documented case of it and the odds in terms of the number of people in their state who have died of the ‘rona period out of the total number of people in their state

Each booster makes the odds of developing myocarditis higher.

Are kids more at risk of myocarditis because they are smaller than adults and don’t have as much muscle to absorb the shots?

What is the typical risk of an adverse event from a regular vax, such as the tetanus vax, if the vax hits a vein?

What types of adverse events are we talking about in that case?

I know some of these questions are one that you can’t necessarily answer, GW, so I put them out there to those on this thread who were nurses and might know.

I’m wondering about the factual number of Americans vaxed. I’ve seen numbers all over the place. Some place said that the number vaxed (something like 170 million) was really doses. Someplace else said 1/3 vaxed.

Does anyone know about the real numbers?

I was at the vet for one of our cats yesterday when I saw a brochure for PureVax, a rabies vaccination for cats that does not have adjuvants. Here's what they say about it online:

PUREVAX.

To help protect cats from Feline Panleukopenia, Feline Upper Respiratory Disease Complex, Rabies, and Feline Leukemia. PUREVAX vaccines are designed for cats and kittens and deliver a robust, effective immune response without the need for adjuvants. The PUREVAX Feline Rabies vaccines and PUREVAX Recombinant FeLV vaccine (feline leukemia virus) vaccine have been developed using state-of-the-art technology to provide safe and effective vaccines for these diseases without the use of adjuvants.

An adjuvant is a substance that is added to a vaccine to increase the body's immune response to the vaccine. Adjuvants have been associated with injection site reaction, injection site granuloma, and chronic inflammation in cats. PUREVAX feline vaccines are made without the use of adjuvants. Be sure to ask your veterinarian for PUREVAX vaccines, the only complete line of nonadjuvanted feline vaccines available.

If adjuvants are bad for cats, maybe they're bad for people, too, wouldn't you think?
