That would be 11,000 people with quadriplegia or worse amongst a population of 330M. And keep in mind that the people participating in this trial are already pre-screened, taking the healthiest of the potential candidates. Known side effects would typically occur at higher frequency amongst the population than found in a clinical trial. EDIT: To add to this. The cost of rolling out medicine with SAEs at this rate would cost the company / government in the order of about $4,730,000,000 (430k x 11k) [1], which is about the equivalent to the amount paid out for all other vaccine caused injuries over the last 30 years. This is likely low-balling it though, as I bet the families sueing would get more than $430k with the numbers of eyes on this.
