[[The risks of the injected vaccine is GBS at the rate of one case per million doses.]]
Precisely- Which is hte points I was trying to bring up- we need to keep things in perspective.
I also had a pituitary tumor which caused Acromegally (same hting Andre the Giant had- only mine happened after the growthplates closed, so didn’t get giantism- just got hte negative effects like enlarged soft tissue organs like heart, intestines etc)- and the ‘risk’ of developping acromegally from pit tumor was 1 in 6 million- Yep- I was the ‘lucky’ #1- Can bad thigns happen given huge odds agaisnt it? Sure- but like flying- MOST peopel will never have problems- ever- BUT when peopel start lumping al lthe isolated cases together, it looks much worse than it actually is statistics-wise
Vitimin and herbal companies are famous for using htis practice of anectdotal evidence to bolster sales- they end up scarign people into thinking that if they don’t take their product, they wil lend up with problems that htey can’t even pronounce or have even heard of- and htese companies iwll use tactics like saying “Stuff your doctor doesn’t want you to know” or “Informaiton the govenrment is keeping from you” Then they’ll trot out all manner of ‘testimonials’ from peopel that make claism like “Vitimin B cured my diabetese” or somehtign similar- and the fact is that htere are so many variables in life, there is NO WAY they can know IF the vitimin was the cure, or of they went into remission naturally, or if some unconscious lifestyle change helped etc etc etc-
I also cringe hwen I see peopel advocating that gettign stuff liek Vitimin D is ‘all that you need to protect you from any flu” which is a crock-
you seem to be downplaying hte fact that peopel mention how many people are killed by the flu each year? I happen to think it’s a pretty powerful argument for takign hte shot- because what would htose numbers be IF there were ifnact no shots being given out? Much higher I’m betting- of htose 34,000 that do die- how many were not given shots? But you’re right- again, there’s lots of variables which we just don’t know, howver, I think there’s enough statisdtical evidence to suggest a strong correlatio nbetween protection and geting hte shots, and strong evidence showign not getting hte shot puts you at an unecessary higher risk of dying- especially with htis flu as the lungs that were autopsied showed massive damage (which incidently also happens in peopel who die fro mthe bird flu)
Anyways- long story short- like oyu say- in hte end- if peopel are scared of hte shot- or alergic- don’t get it- but PLEASE DO try to keep from spreadign hte flu IF you end up getting it as htis is goign to be a very deadly flu- especially to people with health conditions
