Out of how many millions of doses given? I am skeptical of the vaxx, been telling everyone to avoid it. But these numbers don't seem so high that there should be widespread panic.

So much truth right there.

You sound like the kind of person who doesn’t blow your government issued dragon whistle hourly. What’s wrong with you? Do you want children to be eaten by dragons?

That's a very valid point but you must remember: covid deaths were always overhyped by the media regardless of the fact that the percentage was low. Why shouldn't we do the same?

Hopefully we're about the truth. I'm very (covid) vax skeptical but if the genuine numbers showed it as safe and effective, that would be fair enough. Of course, I don't think we can get anything objective on it for a year or two at least. Given its novel nature, potentially a lot longer than that.

the vax is useless. 95% success for a virus that's 95% survivable? All you do is expose yourself to risk

99.96 survival rate

I can see a case for the most at-risk. But otherwise, yeah. As far as I know, I've already had it. The only reason to think that is I've been in regular close contact with someone who has. I've had no actual symptoms.

501 people that didn't need to die...

...And probably alot higher than reported, who says this only kills within a week of vaccination, it might kill you a month later (we have no idea yet).

Out of more than 10 million vaccines given, 501 deaths is easily what you’d expect if you randomly sampled the population. And since priority is given to the elderly and sick, no surprise many of them die

That assumes this virus is deadly, it's not. There is no valid reason for this vaccine in the first place and forgets that many people are getting sick and having severe reactions to the vaccine quickly after being vaccinated. In addition, you are trusting the count of dead, i don't it could easily be 2-4 times higher than estimated.

Also sounds like the initial covid counts, most of the people attributed to die from covid would have been dead within 6mos (and they probably died as expected from other causes.
