@kakape@mas.to I well remember the Anti-Vaxxers bleating "See, we said the vaccines weren't safe!" ehen the first of these death were announced - but, looking at the numbers tells a different story. If everyone in the UK received one of these vaccines, an incidence rate of 1/200000 would mean that there would be around 350 cases across the ~70 million population - compare this to the number of casualties in road accidents (29,467 in 2024), and the vaccines are obviously much safer. Similarly, a 360 million population in the US would suggest ~1800 cases, which sounds a lot, until you realise just how many people are killed by the Second Amendment - 16,576 in 2024 . Most US Anti-Vaxxers are also ammosexuals, yet they are perfectly happy to accept the much higher risk of being shot than getting a shot. And the fact that these vaccines were withdrawn so quickly after problems came up just reinforces the value of the scientific method, rather than the woo-woo of things like bleach injections, or hydroxychloroquine, which the Anti-Vaxxers seem to prefer. As a layperson, I find reports like this reassuring.
