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.

  1. Hi Wayne
    Very useful charting. Thanks very much for organizing this.
    I’ve been trying to find a certain number and can’t. I can’t find the total number of VAERS vaccine administrations since 1990. In other words, I would like to know the total number of all vaccines administered since the inception of VAERS in 1990. The VICP data only lists from 2006 to 2019, a little over 4 billion.
    I’d like to compare that number to the total number of covid injections, that is a better way to look at total deaths, with both denominators – total covid shots compared to total shots all other vaccines.
    Thanks very much if you have the opportunity to provide this.

    Jody

    1. that number is not readily available anywhere AFAIK. VICP report is the best we have. Otherwise, you have to guess or approximate on what that number might be, which is unlikely to be very accurate.
