Ridgewood NJ, many readers have beeen asking about vaccine safety and here is is, researchers from the US CDC COVID-19 Response Team and the US FDA published analysis of early SARS-CoV-2 vaccine safety monitoring from the US vaccination campaign. The study, published in the US CDC’s MMWR, reviewed safety monitoring data for the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines administered in the US from December 14, 2020, to January 13, 2021—accounting for approximately the first month of vaccinations for both products. During this period, 13.8 million doses of vaccine were administered, and there were 6,994 post-vaccination adverse events reported in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The most common symptoms were headache (22.4%), fatigue (16.5%), and dizziness (16.5%). Anaphylactic reactions were reported in approximately 4.5 out of every million vaccinations, which is similar to the rate expected for inactivated seasonal influenza vaccines. Adverse events were more likely to be reported after an individual’s second dose than their first dose.
Among the 6,994 total reports, 640 (9.2%) were considered to be serious adverse events, including 113 deaths (78 among residents of long-term care facilities). Notably, VAERS data include reports from “healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public,” and further investigation is required in order to determine whether a reported adverse event was associated with the vaccine. Information collected from “death certificates, autopsy reports, medical records, and clinical descriptions from VAERS reports and health care providers” do not indicate that any of the deaths were caused by vaccination.
If you calculate life association with death, you get 100%. Also, 4.5 in a million corresponds to 0.045%. Choose your numbers carefully.
no matter how you run the numbers, this legitimate virus has been largely overblown and politicized.
