I'm agreeing in part: I'm sure the vaccine causes clots in some people. But there's never been any vaccine that didn't kill some recipients. This particular comparison strikes me as flawed because the factor they discuss as causing issues with the vaccine is present many times over if you get the disease.

The relevant question is a cost/benefit evaluation of the vaccine risks vs. the disease risk. For young people and especially children the vaccine risk strikes me as higher than the disease.

I only wish I could examine some stats that aren't being cooked by either side.

And the lack of research into prophylactics in the early stages of the disease and therapeutics is astounding. The medical establishment has put all its eggs into the stopping-transmission basket, which is absurd for a flu-like coronavirus, and was absurd once it was past the ability of contact tracing to stop, which it was even at the very beginning.

The medical establishment is just as corrupt and stupid as the defense and intelligence agencies who assured Biden that the Afghan army would last at least 90 days.

BTW I used to write software for generating statistics for evaluating medical data.

I was not rejecting the points you bring up. . .just searching for how you came to the conclusion, in order to weigh that against what is being consistently represented by several board certified physicians.
