Does it mean that 0.00158% of millions of people who got vaccines happened to die later (how much later)? It says each death was investigated by doctors, and they found no evidence that vaccines contributed to these deaths. How does this suggest that vaccines are dangerous?

Timeframes may vary. If someone leaves a vaccination site, and has a reaction at home, it is no longer under VAERS. I find it odd that a standard year has 100 - 250 of these type of cases, yet the last 4 months have produced 3,000. I don't consider .00158% dangerous. I am concerned about the long term side effects of a new vaccine technology, where the masses are the test subjects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the doctors are trustworthy, then maybe vaccines didn't cause the deaths. Instead, do you think it could be that, very, very, very occasionally, people happen to die at vaccination sites or at the hospital from stress, dehydration, or some other thing unrelated to the physiological effects of the vaccine?

Iamcruzin Posted April 20, 2021 #210 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The irony in all of this is that the same people who a year ago were callously comparing death rates of covid to the flu and car accidents are now afraid of a vaccine killing them. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a small group of people. I don't judge anyone who is hesitant about getting a vaccine that was created and distributed so quickly ( I think its incredible - happily vaxed ) People will come around and get the vaccine when they feel comfortable. The fact that 50% of our eligible population has at least one dose should make us all happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you ask the CDC for a retraction? Did you read the CDC quote or just cut and paste it? VAERS is an open reporting system and claims are then verified. Just because something is reported does not make it fact. The CDC statement: "A review of available clinical information including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records revealed no evidence that vaccination contributed to patient deaths." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit to forgetting about flu vaccinations. Since you seem to have some familiarity with Politifacts I'm surprised that you are ignoring its Mostly False designation of the numbers you seem so concerned about. Ultimately I don't think one can take a single measurement and compare it a) in isolation from other contributing factors, and b) using different periods for the samples.

I'm not going to discuss subjective opinions about who's trustworthy, other than the shady history of some of these vaccine developers. It is not a proven fact that all or any of the 3,000 deaths were directly related to the vaccine -- as a matter of fact, the CDC says vaccines are safe and these reported deaths are being investigated. So far nearly 600,000 Americans have died of CV19. It is easy to see which is riskier -- getting the vaccine or getting Covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some posters by now would have said 'it's the CDC, they're a bunch of liars'. It's commendable that you have not said that, and don't want to cast aspersions on the doctors who investigated these deaths. But it looks like you'd need to do this to make your case. Doctors investigated over 3000 deaths and didn't find even one that was due to the vaccine! Either they're right, or they're not to be trusted.

I think your key phrase here is 'because of'. There are certainly countries with mask mandates that performed far, far better than we did. For example, South Korea mandated masks, had 99% compliance (of course) and the peak daily cases this winter were about 1050, whereas Florida's daily cases during the same period were more than 13,000, despite having a much lower population and less population density. There are bumps in South Korea's graph at about the same times as Florida's, but if you put the graphs on the same scale, Korea's bumps are very small next to Florida's huge spikes. On the other hand, maybe other measures taken by South Korea did most of the work in reducing spread. Also, there are other demographic variables such as the average age of the population that may be factors when we compare countries. So I wouldn't be comfortable saying that South Korea's success was 'because of' mask mandates. We'd need sophisticated statistical analyses to assess how much mask mandates mattered. All I can do is make a (non-epidemiologist) guess based on everything I've read. My guess is that the common and effective KF94 masks that were apparently already worn by many for dust control may have been a factor in South Korea's success, along with many other factors. But I don't know South Korea, so I'd be interested to hear from someone who does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know is either gotten the vaccine or is waiting for the single dose J&J I heard 30% of military, and that was surprising to both my husband and I. He served in the military, and NOT getting vaccinated wasn't even an option back then. I guess times have changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
