During this time, VAERS received 5,946 reports of death (0.0018%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause. Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem. A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records, has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines. However, recent reports indicate a plausible causal relationship between the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and TTS, a rare and serious adverse event—blood clots with low platelets—which has caused deaths.
I find it interesting in that the CDC states above that there may not be correlation between a vaccine and subsequent death, although they counted all deaths of infected people as covid deaths.
And by the way, I have the shot, had covid, and didn’t pull this topic from Fox News.
thats all fine - and even if you count them all as vaccine related, it is still much better odds than the 600,000 who died from contracting covid.
there is no question that this vaccine just like any other vaccine bears the risk of potential side effects. For most people the risk / reward equation favors taking the vaccine.
