We're actually at over _5 billion_ people vaccinated against COVID now.
If you believe some of the people on Hacker News though, there should be millions of people injured or killed by the vaccine by now.
My question, where are they?
Where are these millions of people injured or killed by the vaccine?

I've seen quite a few COVID deniers insist that the millions of dead are piling up somewhere, and that fact is being covered up by the gummint. They'll often cite a YouTube video, perhaps of a doctor telling them about all the autopsies he's doing riddled with blood clots.
I hadn't realized that we'd vaccinated over 70% of the world, but various sources back up that number. I had assumed it would take a lot longer to reach outside the developed world. The sheer number of denialists on a web site full of well-educated techies often fills me with despair, but the idea that we've made a decent crack at immunizing poor people is a rare bright spot. Thank you.
Just how big a sample size do you want!?
