Thanks to Tuchodi for pointing out how many people the covid vaccine saved:
I compared this to Canada's vaccine injury stats: 10,168 serious adverse events in 87,040,246 doses. That's an incidence rate of 11.68 serious vaccine injuries per 100,000.
Here's another way to compare these stats: For every 4.57 people that the vaccine saves, it kills or ruins the quality of life of 11.68 people, and that doesn't include the milder injuries which are multiple times more.
Were the vaccines worth it?
The flaw in this argument is that it compares the death rate from covid to the injury rate from vaccines.
When you're dead you're dead.
When you're injured you can recover.
OP has no stats for the death rate from vaccine injuries - which would be the accurate comparison, given that's what they're using for covid.
They also don't have any figures for the recovery rate from the vaccine injuries.
Comparing a set of people who die to a set of people that includes those who recover from their injury is comparing apples to anvils.
My stats comparison is good, but not perfect. but you also miss the point…
Making a decision to get vaccinated based only on vaccine efficacy data is stupid and not scientific. To make an informed decision, you also need to consider vaccine injury data.
I have never seen a vaccine pusher give a complete cost-benefit analysis. Without that, it’s just “trust the science,” a stupid term that dumbs it down. This isn’t how science is done.
You are comparing the high rate of just deaths in unvaccinated people to a whole slew of outcomes from vaccination, and apparently very few of those outcomes are fatal because you can't find any data on it. And don't tell me you believe every healthcare system in the world is hiding that data from you, because I don't think you're that flaky.
You “trust the science" 24/7/365, because you live in a 21st century country, and are completely enveloped in science and technology. It's only on this that you listen to the idiots instead of the science.
Just drop dead already you fucking shill
"Trust the science" is akin to "have faith" in religions.
The way I presented the risk is how it should be presented to any intelligent person. If you don't understand this, that's your problem.
I did my best, considering that governments don't give us full vaccine injury breakdowns.
This is how you present the risk, though:
This also IS NOT comparing apples-to-apples. It's half the risk assessment and completely ignoring the other half with a dumb statement. This is have faith in the Pfizer religion because I say so. I understand, though - This is how CTV news presents it to you and you can't think for yourself.
Over 12 billion doses of the vaccine have been delivered. It's not surprising that some people have a reaction to it. While over six million people have died from the virus https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/ you struggle to come up with numbers from anywhere in the world that more than a few people might have died from the vaccine.
So you compare deaths from covid to a whole range of reactions to the vaccine, not just deaths, and pretend that it's a fair comparison.
