Deaths

[Note that the single counts before 2020-11-29 are due to incorrect date data in the VAERS system]

[Note that COVID19 counts for years before 2020 are due to incorrect date data in the VAERS system (including 1 not pictured due to date in 1921)]

Vaccination Related Risks of COVID19 Vs. Flu

These set of figures compare the COVID19 vaccine to the traditional Flu vaccines. ‘Risk of Death’ percentages depend on the ‘# of Vaccinations’ data, which is only approximate, and was pulled from the CDC’s report on Flu vaccination coverage for the 2019-2020 season, and from Our World in Data for the COVID19 vaccinations.

Covid19 vaccinations through 5/31/2021 vs. Flu vaccinations 7/1/2019 – 5/31/2020 (last complete flu season)

Vaccine Type	# of Vaccinations^[3]	# of Deaths	Risk of Death	Percentage	Deaths/Mill. Vaccinations^[3]
Flu	167,447,642^[1]	31	1 in 5,401,537	0.000019%	.19
COVID19	167,733,972^[2]	5,408	1 in 31,015	0.003224%	32.24

Risk of dying from COVID vaccine is 174.2 times greater than Flu Vaccine

Vaccine Type	# of Vaccinations^[3]	# of Adverse Reactions	Risk of Adverse Reaction	Percentage	AEs/Mill. Vaccinations^[3]
