Covid 19 conspiracies dump

Perfectly safe is an impossible standard. Once again IA proves he can't argue worth a damn.

For the record, just looked up the number of side effects from COVID jabs from VAERS again, this time sorted by manufacturer.



As of March 13 (admittedly 9 days after the VAERS data is from), 328507974 doses of the Pfizer vaccine were given in the US.

Odds of a side effect worth noting: 1 in 988.
Odds of a severe side effect: 1 in 7203.


And for the record, I decided to compare that to the odds of getting in a car crash. I didn’t find stats for that directly, but I did find that esurance estimated 1 in 366 odds for getting in a car crash per 1000 miles. Multiply that by the average American driving 14,263 miles per year, I got odds of 3.897%. Just a bit less than 1 in 25 every year. Yearly odds of dying in a car crash? For 2020, it was 1 in 7782 (note: to access, click "data table", then "download table," and there should be an option to view it as a web page). Which is only 8% lower than the odds of getting a severe side effect from the Pfizer vaccine.

TL;DR: The odds of getting a severe side effect from the Pfizer vaccine (which may or may not actually be from the vaccine) are slightly higher than the odds of dying in a car crash in a given year.

And what are the odds of a healthy child dying of Omicron? Practically zero.
