> How many other people do you know who that didn't happen to? Remember, everyone who got it in 2020 was unvaccinated. And if we're to accept this anecdote, then we also need to accept all of the anecdotes about the vaccine harming people.
Well, I know of 27 people in my circle who got Covid. 2 are dead. 1 is currently on ventilation. 2 went on ventilation and recovered and have been in therapy every since. 3 have severe long Covid that is impacting their lives detrimentally. 7 have mild long Covid (myself included) that we probably should just classify as "viruses do more damage and take longer to get rid of than we thought". So, that leaves 12 who are basically fully recovered--and most of those were post-vaccination.
Of course, this leaves out people who got Covid but either didn't get tested or were so mild that they didn't notice.
Let us contrast this to the vaccine: Out of all the people I know of who got the vaccine (probably 50+) as well as people who participated in the testing phase (7 of them) I know this many who had any symptoms from the vaccine after 2 weeks:
Exactly zero.
And, since vaccination, I know of this many vaccinated people who have had to even go to the hospital let alone be ventilated or die:
Exactly zero.
I'm sure someone, somewhere has had a bad reaction to the vaccine. Anaphylaxis is a thing.
However, if I apply a statistical analysis even to my weak anecdotal data, I'm going to come up with a strong signal.
