Side effects from the COVID-19 vaccines -- such as soreness and fever -- are quite common, but the more serious complications are among the top reasons why many may still be hesitant to get vaccinated.

Now that hundreds of millions of people have gotten the shots, the FDA and CDC -- through their Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) -- are getting a clearer picture of how frequently more serious side effects occur.

On this week's episode, Peter Marks, MD, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, joins us to offer insights into the data on adverse events and the questions that still remain.

The following is an abridged transcript of his interview with "Track the Vax" host, Serena Marshall:

We know the rare ones are less common than the common adverse side effects. but they’re all bad.

Sorry, but 17,000+ deaths for a set of vaccines is not rare.

There are at least 33 previous vaccines, during the purview of the CDC that were pulled where the number of deaths were ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE LESS.

Add to this the fact that less than 5% of actual Deaths and injuries attributable to Vaccines are actually reported to VAERS, and all of the statements in this article to the contrary are very brightly shown to be pure and utter horseshit Propaganda.

I liked this statement from this Pharma-bought-and-sold “doctor”:

“There’s no evidence whatsoever that these mRNA vaccines will have any effect on fertility or on growth or development, and those were things that were studied.” — Yeah, studied for what, six months?

Reminds me of the Clintons: “There’s no evidence __________ (insert whatever they did here) happened.”

The is no place for adjectives in science.

The use of adjectives in the very headline is proof the topic is not science.

"16 to 30 age range, the risk is about one in 5,000"

If there are 40 million people in that age group (there are probably more), the risk of dying from Covid is about one in 8,700. (There are about 4,500 Covid deaths in that group.) And he is just talking about ONE of the adverse effects. If you add in all the others, the vaccines might adversely effect as many as one in 3,000, if not more, approximately triple the risk of death by Covid.

As long as I can go without taking any of the COVID non-vaccines, my risk of adverse side effects is exactly zero. Can’t get more rare than that.

Reports from 700,000 people are “rare”?

1) they aren’t that rare, and 2) there is no vaccine as those take 10 YEARS on average to develop and these things took 9 months (aka 111 months short of average). Democrats lie, obviously, and they also cheat. They did it again just this week too and now we know how. I read an article over at 100percentfedup with the details, “NJ ELECTION UPDATE: 56 Voting Machines Were Shut Down, Shipped To Warehouse On Election Night In Dem Stronghold County Where Gov Murphy Got Over 113K Votes”, so give that a look. They also cheated in Virginia but the voter turnout on the Right was larger than they expected so their attempt failed there. Every piece of info the left and MSM give on covid is a lie, including the 6 foot thing (as the virus spreads 30 meters, or 99 feet) and he cloth being magical thing too (smoke particles are larger than ANY virus and those go right through cloth.

There were 179 million flu shots given in the 2019-2020 flu season, which lasts from November through March normally. VAERS reported 48,000 adverse effects from the flu shot (0.0268%), of which 85-90% weren’t considered serious. However, there were approximately 6000 that were serious, including ~200 deaths (0.000112%).

Per The Defender, “between Dec. 14, 2020, and May 28, a total of 294,801 adverse events [0.1003%] were reported to VAERS, including 5,165 deaths.” [0.00175%]

The CDC reported that 293.7 million doses of the Covid vaccine were given during that time frame, which is almost double the number of flu shots given in the 2019-2020 flu season. If the vaccine effects were comparable, one would expect to see about 90,000 reported; however, the number of Covid adverse reactions is more than 3 times higher while the number of deaths is 12 times higher!

To pretend this is of no importance is disingenuous.

Such efforted propaganda. We know one man almost paralyzed, kid knows 2 men who dropped dead. Obituaries of sudden deaths reaching 2 and 3 deaths a day in most of the towns I monitor. And they still lie, still making shit up.

None of these “doctors” or experts will debate the facts. That is fishy.
