    Vaccine advocates were warning that this would happen months before any vaccine garnered emergency use approval. The law of large numbers says that when you vaccinate tens of millions of people in a short period of time by random chance alone some will die of unrelated causes.https://twitter.com/HealthWatch123/status/1375071602556166146 …

        Predictably, reporters with little understanding of epidemiology, statistics, or large numbers have leapt on reports of deaths after #CovidVaccine and left the impression that the vaccine caused the deaths, even though in pretty much every case there is no evidence of a link.

        Antivaxxers then weaponize these news stories, removing even the minimal nuance brought by a desultory quote from a health expert pointing out that there is almost certainly no link and turning the narrative to strongly imply that #CovidVaccine caused the deaths. /end

        Also, when the vaccine rolls out, people are going to have heart attacks, strokes, pneumonia within weeks of vaccine - anything you can imagine - but unrelated to the vaccine. We aren’t used to nationwide rollouts of vaccines in adults, and about 3 million adults die in a year.

        Other than the already massive uptick in death? The US had the highest mortality last year since 1947 and we continue to lose about 1000/day, now with new upticks due to variants.

        My very smart (but not savvy to the ways of antivaxers) husband saw some Fox news something on his phone about a death that occurred after a vaccination, and he, you know, believed the report. Insidious. I explained of course.

        It can happen to anyone. I got a call from a relative about that same Fox News death vaccine skit and had to explain it. They got their vaccine and I answered some questions. Glad you caught that for him!
