> risk turns out to be 1 in 50.000 It's more like 1 in 500,000.

  The numbers are three healthcare workers out of 120,000 vaccinated in Norway, with one death, so the risk is 1 in 40,000 from what we know. On top of that we can speculate that healthcare workers are more likely to seek treatment than the average vaccine recipient and they are healthy adults of average age.

    That's an odd sample to use unless you have some sort of agenda. The 40 out of 17MM is much more statistically significant.

      If you give a vaccine to 17 million people and 40 of those are children and all 40 children dies then should we just ignore that fact because the "40 out of 17MM is much more statistically significant"? Of course not.

        That's the epitome of a gross exaggeration.

    Everyone would seek treatment, the clotting has like a 40% fatality rate.
