So here's the problem with this article: nowhere does it compare the outcomes from vaccines to the outcomes from catching COVID, which is the actually relevant and important metric. Nothing is 100% safe, the question is whether getting vaccinated is <i>safer</i> than catching COVID. So let's do some actually relevant math:<p>1. If we take the numbers from the table supplied in this article as completely accurate, then 0.0051380026% of people who got any COVID vaccine had a serious adverse reaction.<p>2. Worldwide, there have been about 523,000,000 cases of COVID. There have also been about 6,270,000 deaths due to COVID. That comes out to 1.198852772%.<p>3. You may notice, then, that if you get COVID, your chances of <i>fully dying</i> are much higher than your chances of having <i>any serious adverse reaction</i> from <i>any COVID vaccine.</i><p>4. Quote from the article: "covid vaccines have this far killed nearly 13,000 in the US." If we again assume that's 100% accurate, we can compare it directly to the number of COVID deaths in the US alone: 74,241. Nearly 6 times as many people have died from COVID in the US than from any COVID vaccine.<p>So, yeah, adverse reactions occur with <i>any</i> medicine, vaccine, or medical therapy. Sometimes, adverse reactions occur with peanut butter or dust mites or seafood. But if your goal is to reduce your chances of death, you're much better off getting a vaccine than catching COVID.<p>If, however, your goal is to promote fear of science and mistrust of medical experts, then sure, focus only on how many people died from a vaccine while totally ignoring how many <i>more</i> people died from COVID. And in that case... fuck off with your anti-science, pseudointellectual lack of empathy and responsibility.
