No it isn't. First of all it is 1 in 8000 PER YEAR in the US. Over a 12 month period you would expect about about 3 people to get it. In this 3 month trial you would expect less than one person to get it.

The odds that none were from the control group is 1 in 16. the odds that 4 people got it is (just off the top of my head from a poisson distribution) probably near 1 in 8. So this is a 1 in 100 event.

According to this study 1-4 cases per 10,000 population per year is the normal range. These reported cases are on the high end of the normal range. This trial had approximately 2 cases per 10,000 and ran for 4 months. Its possible they might have ran into more cases if the trial ran longer, but we were trying to rush this vaccine so we can end these fucking shutdowns.

With your talk of statistics about the control group you're forgetting that one of the risk factors for palsy is upper respiratory infection, which this vaccine is simulating. I don't think the evidence supports the conclusion that this vaccine is more harmful than the virus, but I do think quarantining and lockdowns are more harmful than both. I don't want to take it personally but if it lets lefties get back to work and stops the fucking lockdowns we shouldn't be fighting against it.
