Last week, the J&J vaccine was paused “out of an abundance of caution” even though the dangerous blood clots appeared to be “extremely rare,” six reported cases out of 7 million doses, less than one in a million odds.
All six cases were in women ages 18 to 48; one woman died, and one was hospitalized in critical condition. Is one in a million enough to cause a pause? Motor vehicle traffic deaths in the US occur at a rate of 10.7 per 100,000, one of the highest probability causes of death, and there is no move to take a pause on driving.
There are reports of people dying after the other vaccines. In fact, as of early March, over 900 persons died after COVID vaccination. Note I did not say “due to,” only “after,” raising the issue of association versus causation.
Remember last year when anyone who died with a positive COVID test was classified as a “COVID death,” even if they died of a gunshot wound or alcohol poisoning, contributing to the nonstop death tickers running on cable news.
Under those rules, anyone who died within a few weeks of vaccination should be called a “vaccine death,” regardless of actual cause of death. But as with so many things COVID, the rules and goalposts shift based on the desired political narrative at the time. A a CNN insider admitted as much to an undercover journalist, how CNN hyped the COVID death toll for ratings and politics.
A recent example is a University of Cincinnati premed student who died 24 hours after receiving the J&J vaccine. As some universities, like Cornell, are mandating vaccination for on-campus students; how many other students may die who otherwise have a 99.99 plus percent chance of surviving the Chinese coronavirus?

The issue is, are the “six out of seven million” cases the tip of a much larger iceberg of essentially innocuous in vivo clots, and, if so, do we understand enough about how adenovirus vector vaccines cause clotting to allow their widespread use?
The article seems ok until the author puts in comparative risk numbers for lightning and meteorite strikes.
Lifetime risk for the former is closer to 1 in 100,000 rather than one in 1500, and to 1 in 700,000 rather than 1 in 300 for being hit by a meteorite. If the author was correct, I’d know several people who had been hit by meteorites, and I don’t. Does anyone else?
I believe his lightning number. I know 3 people that were struck by lightning. One twice.
I looked up the stats. In an average year, roughly 300 people in the US would be hit by lightning (one in a million). Of those, roughly 30 would experience fatal strikes.
Figure that the average person is exposed to lightning for maybe 60 years of their life (young children and the very elderly are indoors more).
So, the probability in any year of NOT being hit by lightning are (.999999), and the probability of not being killed by lightning are (.9999999) (seven nines).
For lifetime numbers, you multiply those numbers by 60 (or you can use 80 if you like).
The result: For lifetime strikes, both fatal and non fatal:
.999999**60 = .99994, or roughly 1 in 15000
For Fatal lifetime strikes:
.9999999**60 = .999994, or roughly 6 in a million, which is about 1 in 150,000.
There are matching internet estimates.
So, for lightning... he’s only off by a factor of 10. For meteorites, though, he’s off by a factor of over 1000.
Numbers do seem a bit high, but all referenced and calculated at some point. I too know of several people who have been struck by lightning.

It’s been way more than six. 295 adverse events of various kinds of thrombosis have been reported to VAERS with 271 occurring with Pfizer and Moderna.
Follow the money. J&J and A-Z vaccines are on pause or dead in the water. Pfizer may be next. Moderna is using Gates’ formula (that was out before anyone heard of covid) so it’s going strong.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Your lightning analysis makes sense. The meteorite estimate he gave was a real head scratcher. Seems incredibly rare.
