You can't do stats like this. Even if it seems like a small error or being overly pedantic, it doesn't work for a pretty large number of obvious and less obvious reasons.

Vaccine side effect tracking is done pretty thoroughly, so if what you see would be a real and generic phenomenon, it would have been noticed by now.



Right. The official estimate by the CDC is that 1 in 40 vaccine injuries is reported.

None of the 3 I personally know were (suppose that's just anecdotal also). The one received the second dose 3 days before a major stroke, and massive blood clots. I'm sure it was tOtAlLy UnReLaTeD.


Nobody can tell you based on one case whether it was related or not. That's the point. And that's why they have to report every death or serious injury within 30 days of vaccination. At least here, in the EU. No matter what. If you get hit by a bus, it should be reported and recorded. Exactly because there is no other way to find rare side effects.
