But Covid has proven to be much more infectious.
If the CDC counted influenza deaths exactly the same way it counts Covid deaths, healthy adults under age 60 would have a higher mortality risk from influenza than from Covid.
Again, so what? If a vaccine reduces deaths by a large percentage it’s valuable.
I’m not going to argue over whether or not Covid is exaggerated as a problem - it’s a moot point.
I’m saying the vaccines are proven to reduce death and hospitalization and no one has shown evidence that they cause the same.
Only because testing was increased by a factor of 10,000X times.
Re: "the vaccines are proven to reduce death and hospitalization"
That can only be proved by a massive double blind study. One third of the infected did not even know they were sick. At least a hundred million Americans have been vaxxed with an experimental drug, even though they had no obvious risk factors. That is not public health. It is Russian Roulette.
In addition, two years before Covid started, Medicare started a national effort to get every American over age 65 vaxxed for 36 pneumonia variants. What percentage of the Covid vaxxed elderly were also vaxxed for pneumonia? I will wager that was statistically significant for those elderly who had mild or no symptoms after a Covid infection.
We are living through an episode of medical mass hysteria.
We have no idea what the long term consequences of mRNA vaccines will be.
Until we do know, I will not get one.
I have had every other routine vaccination available.
In fact, I have had sixty years of annual flu vaccinations, which has a proven statistical relationship to Covid prevention and symptom moderation.
