The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more
than 270 million Americans, or 81% of the population, have
been vaccinated. Of those, less than 2% reported severe or
life-threatening issues.
Every vaccine produces side effects. The CDC has reported
cases of anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, in just over
11 cases for every one million doses of the Pfizer vaccine,
and two and a half cases per million Moderna doses.
Other serious illnesses linked to vaccines in very rare
instances include Guillain-Barré Syndrome (muscle weakness
and paralysis), myocarditis and pericarditis (heart muscle
inflammation), and thrombosis with thrombocytopenia
syndrome (blood clots in large blood vessels).
This scenario also applies to several other periodic vaccinations
such as seasonal influenza and shingles.
This "story" from the US is nothing more than butthurt
whinging from the typical anti-vaxxers whose absurd
predictions of death from deadly adverse side effects
never materialised in the wider and smarter vaccinated
population.
Firstly, even if only 1% of the 270M Americans had reported serious to life-threatening vaccine issues, that's still almost 3M Americans adversely affected. This is not just a "..storm in a teacup.".
Secondly, people will continue to die directly from this virus, or from other pre-existing issues that are aggravated by this virus. Even if every person on the planet was completely vaccinated, these parameters would not change. Fortunately, 99% of covid 19 victims will recover naturally, whether they are vaccinated or not(97% survival rate even before vaccines).
Finally, and most importantly, the "elephant in the room" has always been the word "mandatory". Given only the choice between "job or jab", conformity or pariah", choice or fines/imprisonment, these mandatory policies are blatant violations of our privacy freedoms. Once you allow any government to force/coerce you to put anything into your body you don't want, you have just created a very dangerouse slippery slope.
All government controls will always end with what I decide to put into my body.
