    There's been a lot of talk about COVID-19 vaccines, and whether they really save lives So I wrote about how we know that they definitely dohttps://gidmk.medium.com/covid-19-vaccines-save-lives-44fb3908ba82 …

        It's crude math but Canada went from a weekly average of 7,835 new cases per day 04/30 to 622 average new cases 06/30. With a 1.868% death rate, that's GREATER 134-135 lives saved per day since it's in the context of loosened restrictions

        Remind me the famous discussion. Death with covid or from covid.. " it is the number of deaths that have been reported after vaccination, but as the Dutch public health authority notes most of these were definitely not caused by the immunizations themselves."

        Ok I agree with you in your analysis apart from one thing. If you want to be unbiased you have to be from both parts of the equation. Harvard Pilgrim study reported that less than 1% of the post vaccination side effects/deaths are reported. Multiply deaths by a factor of a 100.

        Also accepting the side effects/ deaths of the vaccines would be more reasonable in the absence of effective therapies. With ivermectin the NNTT is only 16 to save 1 life. Check the BIRD publication regarding ivermectin.

        Last but not least we are only taking in consideration only the short term side effects and we know nothing about the medium and long term effects which is a huge unknown with a new experimental product never tried before in humans. Good luck to injecting that stuff in your blood

        Why hasn't anything on those who've died soon after the vaccination,or suffered severe adversity,not been studied?an insignificant statistic which is being treated like they probably deserved to die than be studied because the narrative to push vaccine as saviour is too strong.
