Nope, unless you like believing prominent Anti-Vaccine websites that can't cite any scientific proof for all of their rants...Is this one okay?
CDC ‘Corrects’ Number of Reported Deaths After COVID Vaccines by Dumping Foreign Reports
The CDC revised downward its official number of deaths reported to VAERS following COVID vaccines, but an analysis of VAERS data shows the CDC arrived at the new, lower number, by excluding reports of deaths from outside the U.S.childrenshealthdefense.org
Regardless, if CDC excluded non-US vaccine deaths, then any analyses that included the ROW vaccination deaths would have to include all vaccinations worldwide in the denominator, so the percentages would drop precipitously. The analysis in The BL, only looked at US vaccinations, but included WW deaths. So all of the "horrible" reports need to redo their data analysis...
And how pray tell does anyone calculate percentages or averages without knowing the denominator? If it's 1 death per 1 million folks vaccinated, that's far less disconcerting than 1 in 1,000, correct?
I have almost gotten to the point wherein I do not believe anything being put out there. What I do know is that in my little limited world of family, friends and acquaintances that while I do know of a death and three with severe illnesses requiring hospitalizations (not sure about the death but the three with severe illnesses were not vaccinated) I don't know of anyone of the dozens of people I am aware of who were vaccinated that were ill (if that) for more than one day. Like me, most just had a sore arm for a couple of days. The only dead person was the owner of Pequa Pool in my town. Don't know if my unvaccinated allergist has recovered and has been discharged as yet. A post above by someone said that a couple of unvaccinated acquaintances ( a soccer parent and two others?) had flu-like symptoms for a week. Flu-like symptoms for a week? This is why I chose to get the virus shot and after getting the flu in 1995 have gotten the flu shot every year since. Forget about the odds against my dying, I simply don't want to feel sick enough that I can't do the things I like to do.
I know it's not appropriate, but sometimes you hedge towards Karma and when that cruel and heartless bi-atch wins, you have to laugh...

A state lawmaker who has flouted the Legislature’s rules on mask-wearing and downplayed the pandemic says he has contracted COVID-19.

Rep. Chris A. Johansen, R-Monticello, on Friday told the Press Herald only that he wasn’t feeling well and didn’t stay on the phone long enough to be asked whether he has the virus. However, a reporter for Mainer News, an alternative weekly, contacted Johansen and recorded him saying that he has COVID-19 and is “really, really sick.”
Johansen’s wife, Cindy Johansen, who is an officer for the Aroostook County Republican committee, posted on Facebook that she has COVID-19 as well.
Contacted by the Press Herald on Friday afternoon, Chris Johansen said, “I’m not doing well. I’m not feeling well, and I’m not talking to people right now,” and then he hung up. He did not reply to a text message seeking more information.
In postings on Facebook, Cindy Johansen said she was told she had COVID-19 and also has asthma. She also said she passed out on the garage floor and her “legs were like rubber.” Health officials have said that people with moderate-to-severe or uncontrolled asthma are more likely to require hospitalization if they get COVID-19.
Both Johansens have shared posts on Facebook downplaying the pandemic and mocking vaccines.
Chris Johansen was one of seven lawmakers who appeared maskless in a video taken in a State House office in January in violation of a legislative rule that masks be worn inside the building to control the spread of COVID-19. He was also one of seven lawmakers who had a confrontation with Capitol police in May when they entered the State House without wearing masks.
Gov. Janet Mills had recently lifted the mask requirement for most buildings in the state, but lawmakers had not yet amended their rules on mask-wearing in the State House. Johansen and the other six lawmakers lost their committee assignments because of the violation of legislative rules.
Maine is currently experiencing a spike in COVID-19 cases and health officials said new variants are surging among unvaccinated people across the country.
Some elected Republicans have expressed frustration in recent days about vaccine hesitancy or hostility within their own party. Polls consistently have shown that Republicans are far more likely to avoid getting the vaccine.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Friday was asked by a reporter what it would take for more people to get shots in arms. Alabama has the lowest vaccination rate in the country.
“I don’t know, you tell me,” Ivey snapped. “Folks are supposed to have common sense. It’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks letting us down.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also made another plea this week for people to get vaccinated and said he wished people would stop listening to bad advice and listen to doctors instead. His state of Kentucky has a vaccination rate of 45 percent, which is more than 15 percentage points lower than Maine’s.
Other Republicans, however, are doubling down on their criticism of COVID-19 vaccines. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has regularly been sharing misinformation about vaccines and casting doubt about their safety, and he’s not alone.

And then you wonder why some of us don’t take every word you say as scientific gospel
Your biased it’s obvious

Unfortunately the scientific proof isn’t there that it’s safe and that’s what has you all grasping for straws. Until the FDA says it’s safe, it isn’t, that’s the science we except as a society. Your familiar with drug recalls. How many die for it to be pulled? Wait I found it. It’s 25 and the CDC and Ford was the reason they died.
Swine flu 'debacle' of 1976 is recalled
Oh I had a chuckle over that, BUT we're not sure whether or not it happened on the chartered private jet they were on.
But hey, you're a self-proclaimed Jedi Master of avoiding a mask on commercial flights...
Nobody's telling you that you have to get vaccinated, although it's likely to be the future price of admission for many activities in the future.
Then you can choose to get vaccinated or not participate, patronize, partake, etc. in establishments, businesses, etc. that require vaccination. You had no choice in the military, but now you will.
