I got 2 shots and the booster. Couple months later I sprained my wrist. That hadn't happened before. I had a relative who took the shots and a little over a year later died of some sort of 'blockage'. She was only 92!
That's the point of VAERS, and others like it. If you look on the homepage of VAERS, it says this:
VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine.
So, correlation doesn't mean causation. Right. So if a 40 year old man takes the vaccine, and dies a few days later, it could be caused by the vaccine. But if the man was overweight, ate cheeseburgers for the last 20 years, smoked, didn't exercise, etc., then probably his death was caused by other things. But when other reports pour in, all 40 year old men, the probability it's bad diet gets smaller and the probability the vaccine is a causal factor increases.
That's what we are talking about here. Patterns. Patterns are valid signals. All my kids got COVID. My in-laws, deep in the WT paranoia, were audibly shaken. It's as if they were given dire news - maybe they could die!! All of their grandkids were sick, with a potential death sentence.
What's the pattern for kids? They get sick, they get better. There is more risk from the flu than COVID, for kids. From the CDC itself, a child has a higher probability of dying in a car accident within the year, than from COVID. So do we freak out each time we drive our kids somewhere? It's clear that COVID has screwed with people's evaluation of risk.
It's not too different for healthy adults. We know who might be more at risk.
People are viewing patterns of risk from places like VAERS, along with patterns of risk from contracting the virus and coming to the conclusion that a lot of people are overreacting.
And the idea that we shut down the economy was, and always is, a bad decision.
