There have also been numerous adverse events (including death) from e.g. MMR or influenza vaccines. That’s because when you put things into millions of people, you are guaranteed to run into an edge case here or there. The fact that you can point to so few significant AEs caused by the COVID vaccines is a pretty incredible achievement given the unprecedented scale of rollout. The point is that no one with any credibility ever said we could expect zero adverse events from the COVID vaccines, nor 100% efficacy. No one.

Of course, but for slovenia (2 mio population, ~1mio had corona, ~1mio vaccinated, with overlap of course), statistics for girls under 25 show zero deaths due to covid and one death due to vaccine. For men under 25, one death. For both sexes under 35, we have 5 deaths, including that one <25 man. So basically, covid is less dangerous for young people than swimming (more than 5 people drowned this year) and still, most of the anti-covid measures affect them the most (and old people the least).

  If you want to see the alternative, look at Romania now. It seems Delta kills young people too, just less often. We have 450 minors currently in the ICU. If the young population did not vaccinate, it does stand to show that serveral more people than that would have stood to die. Way to go Romania, standing for the test group.
