Our symptoms were way less than flu. Barely a sniffle. Wouldn't even know it was covid if not for at-home test. Nine people dead is meaningly. Millions of people die every year. How many died of covid symptoms after vaccination? How many died of predictable causes of death that would have gotten them anyway?

Here's a pretty straightforward chart: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/united-states-rates-of-co...

Experts are in overwhelming unison on the effectiveness and safety of vaccines relative to being unvaccinated. Here's an interesting study on how subjectivity can lead people to not only misunderstand scientific evidence but to overestimate the degree of dissent among experts:

This study from the Czech Republic shows that the public there severely underestimate the degree of medical consensus among practicing doctors

> Our symptoms were way less than flu. Barely a sniffle. Wouldn't even know it was covid if not for at-home test.

It could be omicron mutation, which has minor symptom. Vaccines was developed for alpha/delta. So again... How do you know that vaccines worked?

> Nine people dead is meaningly.

Not all of them are dead. But cause was made by uninformed decision, mostly because it was required to work, not from medical reasons. 6 of those people were healthy, 3 elder, 1 was born death.

> How many died of covid symptoms after vaccination?

How many get covid in health care/vaccination centers because it was epicenter of virus where healthy people met sick ones?

> How many died of predictable causes of death that would have gotten them anyway?

I ask same question for covid deaths. Official statistics from ministry of health says that in our country died around 60 people (from 0y to my age) that has positive PCR test during whole covid (2 years) and also covid was not necessary cause of death. Costs/benefits from vaccination is irrelevant there and my doctor agree.

> Here's a pretty straightforward chart

Is covid main cause of death in this chart? If so, which mutation? What is a definition of vaccinated individual? 2-3 weeks after shot? What are absolute numbers?

If you are interested in subject of vaccine safety, there are plenty studies and charts that rise questions.
