    Just 5.5 per cent of adverse events linked to the vaccines were considered serious and included conditions that required an admission to hospital or resulted in death.

    5% of adverse events requiring hospitalization is not exactly what I would call safe

      That’s 5% of the .06%. So over 38mil vaxed. 23,002 had any reaction. 1,150 had any major complications.

        in one city, Ontario. And it’s measured in doses, not people. Meaning that assuming people got duplicate doses, the complication rate would be much higher. I also imagine myocarditis is not always formally diagnosed.

      With an adverse event rate of 0.06%. Meaning only 33 per million people required hospitalization.
