Reason: Changed "to" to "it"

Lots of hyperbole here folks. People who had no problems are ignored, and the reports of minor issues, such as a phone call to Telehealth about a sore arm, are lumped in with the serious ones.

Of the "10 million-plus users" two thirds reported nothing at all. Of the one third who did report a reaction, the vast majority were of the aches and pains variety. Less than 3% of that one third were hospitalized.

That means that of the over 10 million people who were presumably vaccinated less than 0.75% needed hospital care, and some of them would have needed it for covid because - as we all know by now - the vaccines reduce the impact of the virus but they don't provide 100% immunity.

And those people in hospital went home, unlike the 1% of covid victims who die.

Concerning fatalities, the quoted rate was normal considering we're in a global pandemic (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm), and so far there is still virtually nothing to link the vaccines to an accelerated mortality rate.

As for heart issues, they were so rare that they weren't detected in the trials. They were noticed eventually at a rate of less than 2 cases of myocarditis per 100,000 vaccinations (https://www.cmaj.ca/content/194/45/E1529)

And myocarditis fatalities were vanishingly rare. "Between December 14, 2020, and August 31, 2021, 192,405,448 individuals older than 12 years of age received a total of 354,100,845 mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines. ... Among persons younger than 30 years of age, there were no confirmed cases of myocarditis in those who died after mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination without another identifiable cause and there was 1 probable case of myocarditis but there was insufficient information available for a thorough investigation. At the time of data review, there were 2 reports of death in persons younger than 30 years of age with potential myocarditis that remain under investigation and are not included in the case counts." https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2788346
