I mean, putting aside the grasping as straws aspect of this claim, let's look at your original claim: in a country where there are already 20 million person's who already were administered the vaccine, and given that by your own account you can only put together two dozen cases among those…

Well you don't know the long term effects. So you can't say the trade off is worth it. It's just blind optimism on your part, not even shared by the vaccine manufacturers, that put in their government contracts clauses that they will not guarantee that it works or take liability for any side effects. Despite making billions on these drugs.

> Well you don't know the long term effects.

To put it accurately, there is absolutely no indication that any vaccine has any long-term effect whatsoever.

Doesn't this mean you are trying to analyze tradeoffs of a problem that does not exist in the plane of reality?

Read about Marek's disease. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marek%27s_disease

"However, the leaky vaccine changes this evolutionary pressure and permits the evolution of highly virulent strains.[13] The vaccine's inability to prevent infection and transmission allows the spread of highly virulent strains among vaccinated chickens."

I'm basing my experience on people I know who got infected. So are many other people who got vaccinated. People who are screaming about the vaccine being a bigger risk than the virus are the ones being fed info by outrageous media reporting.

At this point, I know -- quite literally -- well over a dozen people who have had it. Varying ages. None had anything more than a mild illness. Nobody had lingering symptoms of any consequence (maybe a cough).

Either your sample is statistically skewed, my sample is statistically skewed, or....there is some creative remembering happening here.

I am not going to defend every person saying this, but there are certain age groups in which this is absolutely true. The EU is not recommending vaccination of children for exactly this reason.
