Comparison between flu and covid severity in the US from Oct 1 to Nov 12, 2022: Covid (data from weekly averages): 1,800,000 cases 148,000 hospitalizations 15.600 deaths Flu (mid-range of CDC estimates): 6,600,000 cases 56,000 hospitalizations 3,200 deaths Influenza is much more prevalent...

That was my only point. Some people try to make everything political. It's not.

Out of curiosity, I looked at the data. Haven't bothered for almost a year now. But right now, 80% of the US is either fully or partially vaccinated (69% fully, 12% partially). Compared to other western countries, that is close to the top. The EU is worse (75%), Israel and Switzerland are much...

Well at least you dropped your covid vaccine death nonsense. Progress lol.

That sounds right. I thought there might be a few anaphylaxis deaths but apparently none. There were dozens of anaphylactic reactions but all were successfully resolved.

Exactly. I made a similar analogy earlier. Anyone could do the same study as the one I linked on virtually anything. My example was pizza. Follow 6 million people of the same age groups for 3 weeks after eating pizza and tabulate how many had headaches, nausea, strokes, heart attacks or died...

See there's your problem. 21000 died "due to this vaccination" is flat-out nonsense. Again, you don't understand VAERS at all.

Haha please show where VAERS confirms the number of deaths attributed to covid vaccines. Good luck!

Complete nonsense. You apparently have no clue what VAERS does.

Those of us who are older (like me) have been vaccinated against smallpox. Done!

Did you actually read the full study? Their list of "serious adverse reactions" is absurd. These are some on the list: headache, malaise, nausea, diarrhea. And there is a ridiculous list of medical conditions that can happen that have nothing to do with covid or any other vaccine: epilepsy...

Interesting study on prior infection with earlier variants vs omicron in protecting against BA4 and BA5. Obviously omicron offers much better protection: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01950-2

No more boosters for us for awhile. We got omicron BA5 last month. Basically a mild cold except for 24 hrs of low grade fever. I did get some weird red spots that popped up all over my torso after the symptoms subsided. The vaccines are now so different from the current strains of covid it's...

Ha I'm surprised it lasted this long - almost 5 years. The bottom was scraped so many times the bolts were wearing away.
