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. would be great to see a breakdown of adverse events/deaths per dose by age group considering the FDA is about to approve the vaccines for 6month olds+.

  1. Check deaths and adverse events correlation to zip codes to see if poverty or specific areas have been targeted……..

  2. […] The AMA’s brief failed to mention the injuries reported to the government-run Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System (“VAERS”). AAPS responded by informing the court that “the total number of deaths associated with the COVID-19 vaccines is more than double the number of deaths associated with all other vaccines combined since the year ….” […]

  4. how may I use this data information you are supplying in supporting my discussions about the use of the covid 19 vaccines and their effects on persons taking them . Poto, copy , send to tablets etc . Thank you for all the work it takes do review and sourt this material out ,it makes easy access for all of us .

  5. I have to congratulate you on this effort. This must be one of the worst, most biased and suggestive interpretations of VAERS data I’ve ever seen. The 2021 dataset only has ~750.000 records, so how can you report a million adverse reactions from dec 2020 till present? I think it’s because you are counting the total records from the VAERS SYMPTOMS table (which has 5 symptoms per row btw…). This table has only ~75% distinct VAERS_IDs. The majority of reported events in VAERS_DATA (yes, you can download and see the data yourself here; https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/datasets.html?) has to do with the vaccines not being stored or handled properly. Symptom text such as ‘Error: Improper Storage (temperature)’ or ‘Vaccinated with vial that might have had a temperature excursion’ is the most frequent reported event.

    The number of deaths in the 2021 data set is just over 10.000 for ALL VACCINES. So reporting over 21.000 just for COVID-19 vaccines is just plain wrong. This is disinformation at its finest.

    1. I’ll congratulate you on getting me to respond, as I hardly have time to respond to individual comments these days. However, more importantly, I’ll congratulate you on being incorrect on every claim you have made and also on your lackluster attempt to find the truth. You looked at the 2021 dataset only, which yes, contains 748691 records, of which 737023 are for covid. You failed to recognize that there is a large file called nondomesticvaersdata.csv which contains another 340656 covid records for 2021 and 144 covid records for 2020. Add that to the 10737 covid domestic records from 2020 and you get 1088560. So sorry, NO, it is not b/c I am counting the total records from the vaers symptoms file. Lastly, the majority of reported events in VAERS are NOT for things like improper storage/handling or temperature excursions. That is an incorrect claim as well. Actually, only about 1.4% of the covid VAERS records make the claim of product storage or temperature excursion errors. If I also include product expiry issues, which you did NOT mention, that number rises to 2.5%.

      Come back and try again after you’ve studied the data for more than 15 minutes, OK?
