"I know people who got the vaccine and died right after"
Ok. And I know 1,000,000x more people that didn't get the vaccine and died from COVID. Even if they died from the vaccine (they didn't), the vaccine is safer.
ask 'em to name the people though and suddenly there's a new topic to discuss
There is genuinely a small percentage of the population who is severely allergic to the vaccine. It happened to someone I know. She didn't die of course - but yeah, was in hospital for a while and couldn't take the subsequent shots after that first one. It was pretty rough.
Happily, the vaccines were administered in the presence of health professionals with a proper plan in-place especially to deal with these cases. They're aren't jabbing people with cow medicine they bought off the black market in their own back yards.
I would even bet that she wasn't allergic to the scary-sounding part of the vaccine, the mRNA. I would bet it was something like the fats the vaccine mRNA was suspended in, or the sugar/acid stabilizers in the solution that made up the majority of the liquid.
I am not medical at all, so don't take me as any kind of expert. But it would have been Pfizer - the first shot 40-somethings in Australia received. Is that one even mRNA based?
I think so. Of the major vaccines, only J&J&J wasn't mRNA based.
Allegedly there are two known instances of people in the US dying due to complications from the vaccine, though one of them wasn't the mRNA vaccine that the anti-vaxxers were most scared of. Compare that to the over 1 million people who died from COVID.
In laws were making noises about ivermectin, we actually managed to knock that one square on the head when we casually mentioned "Oh yeah, that's the stuff we used to give our rats" looooool
And there's even more people that died after drinking water lol ๐
Which is statistically more dangerous.
