I don't have a large social circle. I know of 2 vaccine related deaths (stroke), 2 vaccine related hospitalizations (heart issues), and one person now with tinnitus soon after the vaccine. Is the vaccine a better option than COVID? Data says yes (unless maybe for younger people, especially males). Is the vaccine 100% safe? No.

Sorry but that's impossible. FIVE vaccine related deaths/issues in your small social circle?

Next you are going to tell me you know of a vaccine-related car crash.

Please revisit your priors or who you put trust in, as they might as well lie.

I don't know which vaccine each took. My dad's coworker had a stoke and died 2 days after getting the vaccine, two of my wife's brothers were the ones with heart issues. My daughter's bf's friends mom also had a stroke 2 days later. A friend now has tinnitus.

Not sure what else to tell you. The math suggests this is unlikely. But here it is.

Edit: also, nice edit changing it from "next I'll tell you that car accidents are marked as COVID deaths." I didn't say that and have no data on that so I appreciate you changing it.

Odds of death from AstraZenaca are 1 in 1 million. Let's take odds of the event of having serious complications to be 1/100,000 just to be more skeptical.

The odds that 5 people in a row have such serious side effect is 1/10^25. That is equivalent to tossing 83 coins in a row and getting all heads.

Which is more likelier. 1/10^25 or that you have false information regarding this. : )

I know someone who died 2 days after getting lunch.

3 people in my family are after 3rd dose, me included. No issues. Another 7 people are after 2 doses, aged 30-90, again no issues. We all got Pfizer vaccine. Do you have any proof on what you are saying? Because what you just wrote would make a news headlines. Sorry, but without proof it's really hard to believe what you are writing, that sounds more like one of the anti vaccine movement propaganda.
