So looking at the numbers, the CDC reported on March 1st that about 28.3 million Americans got the Pfizer vax by 16 February. This does not include all the others worldwide who also got the Pfizer. 1,223 reported deaths (let’s assume they were all US and all a result of the vaccine for now) out of 28.3 million US vaccinated is a death rate of .0043% - not great, huh?

But let’s now consider the death rate from COVID for all of the US. Per Johns Hopkins data, it sits now at 238 deaths per 100,000 people. Not a lot, you say, but that works out to .238% - 55 times higher than for the people who might have died from the Pfizer shot itself. And if you have the bad luck to catch COVID, the US mortality rate is 1.6% - over 300 times the death rate of the Pfizer vaccine cited above.

That said, the total number vaccinated with Pfizer by 28 February and not just in the US was certainly much higher. I haven’t found much to give a clue (the Pfizer report itself withholds this number), but a decent guesstimate might be 35 to 45 million. So that mortality rate from the Pfizer “poison” drops even further.

So, sure there are concerns with the vaccine, and the longer term effects are still unknown. As for me, I am willing to risk a .0043% chance of dying from the vaccine than to risk a .238% chance of dying from COVID.

You do your own math and make your own choice, FRiends.

Even assuming your math is correct, I am not willing to risk the long term side effects for a minimal improvement in survivability risk. Now add into that equation the questionable efficacy of the shot and I think it makes the decision quite clear. I’ll take my 36mg of Ivermectin per week and a 100% guarantee that I won’t have to deal with side effects long term.

Choices after one knows all the relevant facts available is not the issue I take here. What I think should upset everybody is the lying and censorship of the relevant facts. The CDC maintained for months that it was not able to establish any deaths were caused by the jabs despite the gigantic spike in reported VAERs deaths compared to other vaccines. Is it even plausible that there was any honest effort and that them looking into it was not a total sham? Or was the CDC just not able to review these documents either? And if not why the hell not? Why did the FDA let the CDC spin nonsense when they knew for a fact that it did kill people? Saying it might be worth taking still because the number killed was low compared to those that took it avoids the fact that they intentionally gave the false impression it was perfectly safe. There should be an investigation and this incompetence or dishonesty needs to have consequences.

You might as well take up smoking too. Your chance of dying from lung cancer after your first month of smoking is less than your chance of dying from the vaccine in the first month.
