IMO vaccine are pushed as miracle drug. There is probably fanatic peoples in both though. You might also want to check remdisivir, drug that is not efficient, but they pushed it far enough to get a contract of 1 billion, and effectively 0.2 billion have been spent on it.

The vaccines are a miracle drug. Less than one in a million people that have gotten both doses of mRNA vaccines have died of COVID.

It's one of the biggest infectious disease success stories since the invention of penicillin

Maybe, but do you know how many have died from the vaccine-induced side effects? How could we find this number?

Yes. Basically none. The vaccines have been given to almost a billion people. And side effects have been tracked. How can we find this number? We already have it.

If there was anything dangerous within even 3 orders of magnitude of those that have died because they didn't get the vaccine it would be front page news.

Get vaccinated

What about long-term effects of the vaccines?

I asked why Covid vaccines are absent from VAERS list of reportable AEFIs

https://vaers.hhs.gov/docs/VAERS_Table_of_Reportable_Events_...

And the person you are responding basically said that the new vaccines are so safe that it didn't have to be on that list.

I don't mean this as a personal attack on that user, but It is really concerning how blind and apologetic some people are to the various things that can go wrong with a Vaccine.

I agree. I just hope that such blindness doesn't affect us. I worry that it will.

Oh, that is great! Where can I find this tracker and the reports of side-effects? And this number we have, what is it? Can you write it here?

Should I rely for this information on my TV news?
