About 1 case per 1 million vaccines given in the past 30 years has been able to demonstrate a reasonable argument that a vaccine did any level of harm to them. That’s the payout rate from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, which exists to compensate anyone injured by a vaccine. The threshold to get a payout does NOT require any medical evidence or any proof that a vaccine harmed you. It only requires a reasonable argument linking a vaccine to some sort of injury. And with that low threshold, about 1 case of compensation is provided per 1 million vaccinations.
In other words, they’re pretty darn safe and a whole lot safer than getting polio or measles or COVID-19.
Both our comments were in regard to an article stating that more than half the trial participants for a Covid vaccine experienced “adverse” reactions, in some cases extreme. My, as of January 2019, deceased elder sister contracted seasonal flu then pneumonia after being vaccinated for both two months before. No offense intended. I simply have little remaining and ever decreasing faith in “expert” opinion, or the pharmaceutical industry. I respect yours but choose to take a different view.
I am not willing to risk my health on a rushed vaccine that bypasses the usual protocols of development. Vaccines can take years not a few months to get right. We have treatments that can work. Is the trade off in potential side effects and probable deaths worth it?
