No shit? Well, only the stupid don’t play with house money when it’s laying on the table. Of course there are terrible reactions and even death associated to many vaccines. Considering they are single digit if not single decimals of the total who would suffer without them, only a fool would be anti-VAX. Improving the vaccine should be the goal. Christ, vaccinations and orthopedics are about the only two things Western medicine is doing right. If you are anti-VAX, healthcare just isn’t your niche.
It is an extreme act of ignorance to pretend the mRNA clot shot is anything similar to any of the other vaccines that have been used for the last 100 years, or to pretend the risk from Covid is anything similar to polio. If you’re anti-critical thinking, maybe acting like a flaming ahole is just your niche. Sit down and STFU.
A citation behind a paywall. Lovely. I guess if you went to the CDC or NIH, you’d wouldn’t get numbers you like.
In 1952 alone, nearly 60,000 children were infected with the virus; thousands were paralyzed, and more than 3,000 died. 5% of infected CHILDREN died from polio, not the obese over 80 population at most risk from COVID. How many children cumulatively have died from COVID since 2020?
As if that has anything to do with the millions of people who aren’t contracted polio due to the vaccine? Sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up
The science is always settled until it isn’t. that is the point.

Yes, it's silly to assume the risks from Covid are similar to polio, because the risks from Covid are far greater.
Your ignorance is astounding.
Can you quote me the IFRs for Polio and for Covid, Phil?
…Which is larger?
Please give your sources, no fudging about Covid please by claiming Covid deaths aren’t from Covid, for instance.
Just looked it up, and polio is more deadly by magnitudes. You tell me what the IFR is, smart as.
Polio is usually asymptomatic. Paralytic polio occurs at a frequency of 0.1-0.5% of cases, and of paralytic cases between 2-10% are fatal.
That translates to an IFR of between 0.002% - 0.05%.
Covid’s IFR ranges from 0.1-0.5%, making it more lethal than polio by at least one order of magnitude.
…Who’s the “smart as[sic]” now?

Sigh.....
How about these then:
https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/poliomyelitis
"One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis. Among those paralysed, 5–10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilized."
ie IFR is between 0.01-0.02%
Or CDC which you want:
"Less than 1% of all polio infections in children result in flaccid paralysis."
"The case fatality ratio for paralytic polio is generally 2% to 5% among children" (who are the demographic affected in 95% of cases)
ie IFR is less than 0.05%
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/polio.html
So the IFR is less than that of Covid infection....As I said.
