It's too bad we can't have a legitimate discussion or even a survey of this forum to find out what our posters are seeing in their own circle of friends.
Counting only people that I have personally talked to at some point in the past few years, I have seen far more likely deaths and severe adverse events from the vaccine than from covid. I've seen 4 likely vaccine deaths and 4 vaccine AEs.
Covid deaths: 1* This person was vaccinated two weeks before getting COVID.
Long COVID: 1** This person had a reaction to dose 1 and a very severe reaction to 2nd vaxx. She and her doctor think her problems could be a combination of vaxx and long COVID.
Vaccine deaths: 4
- age 60+. Training for Boston. Died in sleep
- age 60+. Poor health. Obese.
- age 80+. Very poor health.
- age 65-69. Removed a 2 foot blood clot! Cancer came out of remission after vaxx.
Vaccine Severe Adverse Events: 4
- Age 70+. Fit, healthy runner. Seizure. Hospitalized
- Age 60+. Fit, healthy runner. Seizure. Hospitalized.
- Age 50+. Fit, healthy runner. Extreme disability. Unable to walk. Over a year to return to normal.
- Age 60+. Fit, healthy runner. Heart attack during a 5k. Fit and healthy. Would have died, except he collapsed near a medical tent.
All four of these Vaccine AEs were healthy runners who had no previous problems. Three of the four were national caliber runners. Only one of the four was diagnosed as vaccine damage.
In my 76+ years on the planet, I've never known any healthy friend to be hospitalized with seizure, yet I've now seen two in the past two years.
None of the deaths were counted as vaccine related because there was no way to prove they were vaxx related.
When people say, "Well, that's just anecdotes," what I hear is a classic line from Chico Marx in Duck Soup.
"Who are you going to believe? Me. Or your own eyes!"
If it were one or two incidents, I'd just write it off as a coincidence, but with more than three... well, I'll just believe my own eyes.
