Joe taking credit for Trump's accomplishments again. What a shocker.
Furthermore, no, the vaccines are not "100 unquestionable [sic]." No vaccine is truly 100% safe and effective, not even these super fancy mRNA shots. As discussed over in the Wu Flu thread, there have been thousands of reported cases of adverse reactions to getting jabbed.
This site seems to lay out the data pretty well, but there are some caveats to take into account:
- Correlation does not imply causation. Just because someone died after getting jabbed doesn't mean that the jab caused their death.
- These reports are filed by a wide variety of people, and may be subjective or inaccurate (although death is pretty hard to be wrong about).
- The data alone can't be used to gauge the safety of the coof vaccines. That can only really be done through clinical trials, which still haven't been completed, ain't that funny.
The phase III trials for the three US vaccines reached their end points (though they will still follow the participants for a while) and the vaccines are in
post-licensure surveillance. The safety signals now being picked up are too rare to show up in a phase III trial anyway.
- Few of the adverse affects are in the young (median: 48 years old), and most of the deaths are in the elderly (median: 79 years old). Since many geriatrics get knocked out by a stiff breeze, it can be hard to say whether their deaths were actually due to getting jabbed.
That said, even if only 1/10 of the reported deaths are actually linked to the vaccines, that's still 200 dead. However, taken against the total of 65 million vaccinated, it's a fairly small number, still not "100 unquestionable [sic]" though.
Your numbers are a little off. In the US, there have been 192 million vaccine doses administered to
122 million people. There have been
3005 deaths reported, and none have been linked to the vaccine. Known or suspected risks include a 2-5 in a million chance of
anaphylaxis among the mRNA vaccines and a 1 in a million chance of
blood clots in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Generally, one's outcome from being vaccinated will always be better than one's outcome from getting COVID. The coof's adult
infection fatality ratio is worse than even the most pessimistic calculation of vaccine deaths, and I don't even want to imagine how much greater the COVID hospitalization rate is. But many humans suffer a cognitive defect in which we consider risks undertaken voluntarily to be worse than risks to which we are passively exposed. That's why there are people who won't wear a seat belt for fear of getting stuck in their vehicle; the fear of doing something and being harmed is greater than the fear of doing nothing and being harmed, regardless of their respective probabilities. No doubt this instinct served our
monke ancestors well, but for a species that has developed math it's not the optimal approach to risk management.
I won't try to support Biden's statement, because it's word salad and I have no idea what he's trying to say.
And with increasing reports from women of having menstrual problems after getting jabbed, along with plenty of others having adverse reactions, it's sounding more and more like this shit should've been tested more before release.
Not unless the incidence and severity of these menstrual problems are worse than COVID.
Just remember, there are still no FDA-approved vaccines for the coof; these shots are authorized for emergency use only.
A semantic argument, but we
are in an emergency. Or have been, anyway.
And no pharmaceutical companies can be held liable for any issues arising from getting jabbed, thanks to our wonderful government looking out for them. Don't you just fucking love science?
I do, unironically. Trump's vaccine project is a landmark in public health, and it grinds my gears that the dementia patient and the bath house cruiser are taking all the credit for it.
