The deadly COVID vacine

Out of the over EIGHT BILLION doses of covid vaccine that have been administered, there have been 55 deaths attributed to it.
That’s a mortality rate of 0.0000000625% About the same danger as being bit by a rapid gopher. Just saying, RFK.

While it would be interesting to know about how fast those others go, I'm more interested in American gophers.

Problem, as I see it, is that they spend most of their time in tunnels underground. That would make the velocity measurements difficult, I'd think.

If in your country then the stats must be referring to boosters as well? I would also like to know the age and health status of the 55 who died prior to the Covid vaccine.

Where right wingers really have a poor memory is when they forget their own foolishness and how stupid they looked. Haven’t heard anybody yet say they were wrong about hydrochloquine or ivermectin. Never admitted he was wrong either about it going away in warm weather, etc. Don’t know why his fans tolerate this kind of shit. Aren’t there other right wingers that could take over his party that aren’t so damned stupid? I guess Elon is that person

just the other day. Right before the original French study from March 2020 was finally debunked widely. Can't wait to add this to my scorn when talking to this guy. Because there was only a few whacko 'scientists' that claimed it worked, they choose to not believe the hundreds if not thousands of others who realized it didn't work. He claims the drug companies wouldn't use it because it was so cheap and widely used (for malaria) that they wouldn't make any money from it. I said what would stop them from raising the price? "Oh, they couldnt do that because people would be outraged." I said that didn't seem to matter when they raised the price of insulin 2,000%. He says the drug companies made more money from the vaccine than they would from a cure. Their argument starts with the mistaken belief that it works and they try to come up with a conspiracy to make it seem believable.

The prevalence of brain worms varies by type of parasite and location:

Cysticercosis
About 2.7 million people worldwide have cysticercosis, a parasitic brain infection caused by a worm. In regions where pig cysticercosis is common, about 10–20% of the population has symptoms. In the United States, about 2% of emergency room visits for seizures are from cysticercosis.

Toxoplasmosis
The parasite that causes toxoplasmosis, a common parasitic brain infection, may infect over 40 million people in the United States. Most people infected with the parasite don't develop symptoms, but people with compromised immune systems are at risk of serious illness.

Brain-eating amoeba (Naegleria fowleri)
There are only a few cases of brain-eating amoeba in the United States each year, mostly in the southern states.
Brain infections caused by worms and other parasites are more common in low-resource countries and rural areas. Exposure to these parasites can occur when traveling to areas where the disease is widespread, such as Asia, South America, and some parts of Africa.

they blame it on the one shot they got in 2021.

...around this time, that had one of the drones complaining that he got the COVID shots because his company required it. He said "...and I still caught the fly & a cold " Yep! He got 2 illnesses the vaccine doesn't prevent and DIDN'T get the one the vax is for. And that was his proof the vaccines don't work! Dolt!
I forget what platform it was on or I'd post it. It was both stunning in its stupidity and a hoot.

39. Just finally had my covid and flu vaccines yesterday
Sun Dec 22, 2024, 03:11 AM
Sunday

I have lost track of how many Covid vaccines I’ve had. This might be number six or seven. I ended up getting two together, which I don’t usually do because I get very achy for a few days. Tylenol to the rescue. I am scared of what is going to happen when these wackos take charge.

I was talking to the lady who gave me the vaccines telling her this country is becoming insane and she completely agreed with me. I got them both in the same arm this time so I won’t have two arms out of commission.

In a week or two I will get the new pneumonia shot and RSV. Then there’s still a few others I have to do. I will probably do a booster for mumps/ rubella, and whooping cough, measles and polio and then shingrix. She said they don’t have the polio booster vaccine at the pharmacy so I have to ask my doctor about that. I think I just had a tetanus shot in 2019 so I’ll probably be OK for that but I’m wondering if I should get that too. Just in case.

I plan to be all vaxxed up before anything starts happening to try to stop it.

I am wondering what is going to happen if the new bird flu becomes an epidemic and if we are even going to have a Vaccine available.

Ps. Thanks for the laugh about the rapid/ rabid gopher 😹
