I understand that some individuals are already suffering what's
been called "long Covid" but apparently those numbers are relatively
low, and are nothing at all to do with any of the vaccinations
per se.
And one of the issues is that if many of those people
had been vaccinated
then they wouldn't have been infected with COVID in the first place. Far too
many of them were anti-vaxxers—apparently like yourself. And I sincerely
hope you don't contract the virus, for the very reasons that you talk about
regarding its rare but long term, potential ill effects.
These people seek out anecdotes that confirm their bias and ignore statistics. Sad
I'm more than happy to refer to statistics as you're apparently keen to do so.
In America where the COVID virus was ignored in early 2020, and vaccinations
were delayed until June that year, the death rate from the virus has been 3,086
per million population. In Australia with an earlier, concerted effort to control
the virus, the death rate has been 330 per million.
Yesterday, 2 June in America there were 80,993 new cases of COVID. Here in
Australia there were 34,985 new cases.
In Australia, 84.2% of the population has been vaccinated. In America that
figure is only 67.2% of the population. That alone tells the story of why the
US has such a high death rate. And it's down, sadly, to anti-vaxxers.
Can you quote some statistics that support your claim that people who've been
vaccinated are relying solely on "anecdotes", are "biassed", or ignorant?
