Just because a bee sting is no big deal for you doesn’t mean it won’t kill someone else whose a trained cage fighter and until we can figure out how to identify the mechanism that makes it so deadly, getting the virus is Russian roullette. I’m not targetting you specifically, just bringing a different perspective. |

Some information on why some people die while others don't.
How COVID Kills Some People But Not Others - I'm a Lung Doctor (MEDICAL TRUTH) | Coronavirus - YouTube Some key genetic risk factors have just been identified. This opens the prospect for targeted treatments for severe covid, as well as testing to further segregate risk in the population. https://www.reuters.com/article/heal...-idUSKBN28L256 |

Why didn't they find out about the allergic reaction in the trials?

1) It's very rare, and was a fluke that it turned up right away. Don't know how many people the UK vaccinated before that poped up, might have many thousands, maybe even larger than the trial group. 2) The trial participants were selected in such a way that they weren't perfectly representative of the general population. Might have been done for safety, or possibly in the course of trying for specific data (example, selecting demographics at risk for severe covid). This is normal, and one of the reasons they monitor pharma after deployment (phase 4). 3) Remotely possible, but pretty unlikely, that they got a bad batch of vaccine. |

Maybe we do know why now.

I believe every disease and illness has its idiopathic outliers. Live life like today may be your last. As far as COVID, discussing the known risk factors seems to make people “uncomfortable”. |
