this is how retarded and psychotic liberals are:

fatality rate from the virus itself: 0.03%

fatality rate from the vaccine: 2.37%

liberals: GUISE EVERYONE TAKE THE VACCINE!! SAVE LIVES111!!

edit: yea ok i get that this is only the reported cases; that argument goes both ways then, so potentially there are actually more deaths from this vaccine. lol tards downvoting reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It's 2.37% of reported adverse events, not injections, so you can't compare the numbers directly.
You're likely being downvoted for that.
The OP is misleading and most commentators don't have the expertise to know this - but there's no excuse to not ask a question about the methodology.

Just so that I'm not eaten alive: vaccine is indeed a bad idea. I've read both papers by Pfizer and Moderna.
For example, here's the Pfizer summary:

  • COVID is very rare with our without vaccine (1% of placebo group and 0.05% of vaccinated group).
  • Severe COVID is even more rare at 0.04% in placebo group and 0.005% in vaccinated group.
  • Chance of severe side effects (treatment-related) is zero in the placebo group and 0.02% in the vaccinated group.

Thus you're effectively exchanging severe COVID for severe side effects, and both are exceedingly rare.
