I downloaded the VARES data set, all 100MB of it. If you filter for DEATH, you will see that most are elderly, and in the OTHER notes section, all had preexisting medical issues including diabetes, heart diesaes, alzheimers, hypertension, obesity, chronic kidney issues, COPD, allergies, etc. And for many the NUMDAYS field has large numbers meaning whatever happened took a while to kill them. And for those who died, and the LAB NOTES shows "died despite being vaccinated" these people were old. This is all common sense. Be in good health, and as you age, avoid sick people and do what you can to protect yourself. Nothing new.
I did my homework. OF the 99,000 adverse records reported this year, only a fraction are from Covid shots. And this file is 99,000 people, not all the others who received any vaccine and did not get any adverse reaction. And when you read some of the "adverse reactions" it is "nervousness", "fast heart beat" and the like. And again this data is for ALL vaccines. When I got my first Covid shot only one man in the large room of maybe 30 people reported anything and it was clear to us all he was panicking out of fear of needles. Many of us tried not to laugh. So many "adverse" reactions are psychosomatic.
Furthermore, if you filter out all who DID NOT have allergies, or medical issues reported or were taking medications for issues, and then filter for people who died, you will get many OLD people. Then if you see suspected reasons for death, most are COVID+ test. Some are breakthrough cases. This is expected, and is the part of the population we all were trying to protect. Again, your body fights the virus not the vaccine. So in other words, healthy people, if old, can die of covid.
And to summarize more, if you are ill, and get vaccinated, you may die of a virus, or your chronic issue.
People know that vaccines are never 100% effective. Neither is natural immunity. For this reason, people often use best judgement, and social distance, and isolate. Be it the cold, flu, covid, ebola etc. My brother was vaccinated AFTER getting covid 2 times. He now has long-haul covid. He can barely take care of his kids. I have been around those who were carrying covid and never developed debilitating issues. I did get a cold like set of symptoms. Vaccine did what it was supposed to. It readied my body for the real virus. My body fought it. If I was older, there might be nothing to stop it since vaccines only train the body to fight. If the body is old it can't fight. Most old people die of heart issues, strokes, or infections. My grandmother died of septicemia. Her immune system could not keep her gut bacteria where it should be.
There is now an ebola vaccine. @Simo. Ebola mortality rate is upwards of 90%,. minimum of 60%. Ebola vaccine effectiveness is high. Vaccines work.
The covid vaccine was engineered the same way many vaccines are for animal use. The recombination messenger DNA used to make the spike protein does cause cells in the immediate injection area to make some spike proteins, but never is a virus alive. The body then sees the proteins and gears up the immune system. Later the body is ready to attack any invading virus with this protein. SO in a way, the vaccine triggers the body into making those proteins, but that is all.
My parents had Polio vaccine, and I wonder if you did to Simo? That was a LIVE vaccine. Meaning a live partially pasteurized virus was injected in you. In some cases, the virus gained its former strength and made the person ill with polio. However, my mom remembers visiting a polio hospital, and saw a lot of crippled children. So viruses can maim. But all we had at that time was a live virus vaccine. So who in their right mind would do nothing and let it be "god's will" when people are becoming crippled all around them? I see it that it is God's will I be smart enough to do something about the calamity. If they could have made a recombinant messenger DNA vaccine for Polio they would have because they want to minimize risk to patient many of whom were children.
I have had all of these shots, and probably more.
Mumps,
Measles
Rubella
Tetanus
HPV (yes)
Diphtheria
pertussis
seasonal Flu
Varicella
Hep B
Meningitis
I rarely get the flu
I never got any of the other illnesses listed here.
I got chickenpox and wish there had been a vaccine for it.
My parents again saw people with polio, typhoid, bad cases of Flu, whooping cough, and LOTS of measles.
My mom lived in an area of poverty in rural Arkansas in the late 1950's and had Yellow fever, measles 2 times, whooping cough . This is backed up by other family members stories , the whole family was sick.
I never had those issues. I had a neighbor who had scarlet fever and went deaf. Her name was Marry Anne Cress. She is probably deceased now. She told me the story. Viruses maim.
So again science in our country is a victim of its success. Because we pushed these things into submission, they do not happen with much regularity, so why should any one get a shot?
after all "they don't work". But go to Africa, or Congo, they are screaming for any and all vaccines. Yet corrupt governments and lack of infrastructure do not allow many to get help.
How lucky we are to have such smart people working to protect us, and to help us, and we CAN have a choice!
We as a country failed the test due to our arrogance. If this were a strain of like airborne ebola, we would all be breathing the stench of corpses.
In our country a little knowledge is dangerous. In many parts of the world, girls struggle to get a book to read so they can learn math.
The biggest enemy of the species are the backward people unwilling to learn.
