Can we please get someone official to say out loud that for most people the risk from vaccines is very low but not zero, and also the risks from covid are very low but not zero unless you’re quite old or have issues?
You get labeled as a “death shot” person for trying to say this.
The promise of the vaccines has been oversold and walked back consistently. The risks, though small, have been diminished. All for “The greater good”, but this is how you get people to not believe you.
- bryanlarsen 4y agoYou're implying the risks are equal by using the same words for both. Each "very low" statement is true in isolation but together they're not.
- colechristensen 4y agoIt is indeed hard to compare and reason about very rare occurrences. It is not obvious to me that there isn’t a young age at which vaccine risk vs covid risk approaches 1:1. I personally know someone who had serious vaccine related complications who never became a statistic as he was never able to get a definitive diagnosis.
