She died WITH the shot, but what did she die OF?
Is it the same deal as those who died WITH COVID-19 but not OF it?
“In true life and death situations like polio, the risk is probably worth the reward—but the coronavirus is not even a close call.”
With polio, the risk of paralysis was much greater than the risk of death. Here is a link to an interesting article about the polio outbreak of 1949-1952:

Even more so than COVID, polio is mostly asymptomatic. 70% of children's polio was asymptomatic, and a further 24% was minor and fully resolved in a few days to a week. Most polio was NOT paralytic, and less than 1% of polio resulted in flaccid paralysis that people associate with the disease. The death and disability inflicted by polio are a small fraction of that of COVID. But there were 2 huge differences. First, we didn't know about the mild and asymptomatic cases, just the serious cases, paralyzed or disfigured children, and horrifying pictures of people in an "Iron Lung" machine. Second, it was CHILDREN. If we knew then what we know now, would we be polio antivaxxers?
