C’mon dude! We’ve been told repeatedly, by our dear leader, and tons of wackadoodle social media stars that the vaccine is perfectly safe and effective. They’ve also proclaimed that the virus was “naturally occurring” and not released by a Chinese lab, either accidentally or purposely.

Blast from the past
The Gaithersburg, Maryland-based company said its combination vaccine that targets both Covid and the flu produced a strong immune response against the viruses and was well tolerated in a phase two trial. Novavax shared similar trial results on its stand-alone flu vaccine and new high-dose Covid shot.
The company’s Covid vaccine is its lone marketed product after 35 years in business.

A nationwide study in Korea finds a rate of vaccine-related myocarditis at a rate of 1/100k, higher rates by ~5x in select groups like younger adults (15-40) and men especially for mRNA based vaccines, lower in older ages, women, and for non-mRNA based vaccines.
Severe / hospitalization cases occurred in 20% of vaccine related myocarditis cases, and 5% resulted in death.
This is a retrospective nationwide report including all vaccinated Korean people… Among 44 276 704 subjects vaccinated from 26 February to 31 December 2021, 1533 cases of suspected myocarditis were reported to the KDCA. The Expert Adjudication Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination Pericarditis/Myocarditis has been held every week, and the committee reviewed all records for the verification of VRM diagnosis… Among 1533 cases of suspected acute myocarditis reported to the KDCA, the Expert Adjudication Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination Pericarditis/Myocarditis confirmed 480 cases of COVID-19 VRM.
Vaccination-related myocarditis requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission, fulminant myocarditis (FM), the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), death, or heart transplantation was considered severe VRM in this study.
Severe COVID-19 VRM was identified in 95 cases (19.8%), 85 ICU admissions (17.7%), 36 FM (7.5%), 21 ECMO therapies (4.4%), 21 deaths (4.4%), and 1 heart transplantation (0.2%).
The Korean researchers are puzzled how they could find such high rates of side effects when US studies find nearly nothing. Of course they’re not counting on the US government / medical establishment pressuring doctors to avoid any sort of vaccine related side effect diagnoses, and the academic journals would refuse to publish any such “anti vax” data if it was collected.
The clinical course or severity of VRM in our study was considerably different from the previous reports. COVID-19 VRM has been known to be mild in severity with favorable short-term clinical outcomes… In a study including 40 hospitals in the USA,10 all COVID-19 VRM patients were discharged after a median of 2 days (IQR 2–3 days) and there were no readmissions or deaths. In the present study, however, we found 95 severe COVID-19 VRM cases (19.8% of total VRM) including 36 FM and 21 death cases. Furthermore, we identified eight SCD cases only confirmed by an autopsy.

Whoa! What a perverse, cynical conclusion. :-]
There is an alternative explanation that you seem to ignore. 'Ol doc Fauci ordered China to design the virus in such a way that vaccines could be manufactured to target South Koreans. DNA specific virii have been researched [and possibly funded by 'ol Doc Fauci] for years. This research was limited in the U.S., but amazingly, was wide open in the Hubei province of Red China.
Considering South Korea’s reticence to kicking back any percentage to the “Big Guy”, this explanation is, at least a very possible, if not probable, alternative to your “conspiratorial” explanation.

High excess death rates in non covid vulnerable populations, +15-30% annually and prompting dire comments from the life insurance industry who is paying for it, began around vaccine rollout and correlated with government employee status and upper class job types. Hmm.

Younger at risk, not older relatively
Not obviously Covid
Causes of excess death - Covid or “other”
Could be the vaccines, could be some insidious under appreciated Covid side effects, could be lies with statistics- judge for yourself.

I don’t see any dire comments in the original report. Only lots of exaggerated and false sensationalizations from Dr. Ivermectin. There are way too many, but I’ll just point out a couple:
Emphasized in parentheses was written by the “doctor.” I think it is clear that what he wrote is not supported by the preceding sentences. It’s not “15% more continuing to die monthly,” it’s that 15% more died between April 2020 and December 2022 in total, averaged out. It wasn’t 15% at the end of 2022. We already know there were lots of deaths – about a million people taken by COVID in total by end of 2022.
The other big items in the chart correspond to COVID spikes. He slyly alleged the December 2020 period had something to do with the vaccine rollout, but IIRC, the rollout was slow and concentrated on the first responders and the very old.
I’m going with lies with the interpretation of statistics.

The latest variant
- The World Health Organization has classified the Covid strain EG.5, or “Eris,” a variant of interest, and says it currently believes it poses a similar level of global risk as existing variants.
- Reformulated Covid vaccines are set to be available in the U.S. from late September which are expected to provide better protection against the variant.

Run for your lives, for the sky is falling. Oh wait! The sky isn’t falling the seas are rising. Put on your masks … NO!! Put on two masks because 'ol doc Fauci wouldn’t lie, nor make money at the expense of the public because he is a righteous dude who wouldn’t do that.
Regardless, we’re all going to die. So saith Algore, and many others.
Alas, something is wrong here. 
I will be right in line for the vaccine. Not.

I’m thinking about the regular yearly flu season vaccinations. Got an advertisement from Rite Aid that said “come on in and get your flu 
shots”.
Don’t think I’m interested in Covid vaccines anymore.

I picked up a couple of inhalers recently and the happy little girl at CVS said “Oh it looks like you’re eligible for our pneumonia vacc” — No thank you. Her grin got even bigger and said she’s hearing that a lot, but not quite as quickly.

Interesting commentary on how the narrative is shifting in admitting many people were injured by the vaccines. Discussion of a recent NYT article admitting injuries happened (but largely downplaying them).

Post vaccine safety monitoring reports are slowly being beaten out of PFE and they’re showing that the vaccine has a lot of side effects, including heart conditions. Remember that they told us these were “mild” and worse if you got Covid? Well, no - those are 20-40% higher in the vaccinated group and of course nearly everyone has had Covid by now.
But of course you knew the safety data was going to be bad when you have to FOIA them repeatedly to get the reports they’re suppose to publish on their own in the first place.

Parent’s got the vax since they’re high risk.
my only concern is that repeated C19 bouts might lead to long-term COVID-19, but I’m still debating. Local Fry’s is giving out $20 if you do 2 vacc. might take them up on it…
Has any evidence of this ever been published? My own theory is that certain people are susceptible / “predestined” to long COVID, on the first try. Those who’ve had short COVID aren’t going to get long COVID no matter how many times they get it again. The body should remember how to fight it, vaxxed or not.

My take is that most of long Covid is an auto immune reaction that happens when you get unlucky and your immune system responds to the spike protein, either from the virus or the vaccine, and makes auto-antibodies that cause systemic inflammation, nerve damage, etc. I think we were just unlucky that some of the things that are similar shapes to bind to the spike also bind to our other internal stuff sometimes.
I’m not a good enough immunologist to say for sure, but I think if you had the vaccine or the disease and you didn’t have long term effects, it’s most likely you won’t again. And if you did have bad effects, those are likely to get worse with repeated vaccines or infections. But there’s probably still some chance each exposure that some Bad Thing happens and you end up with longer term consequences.

I agree about the autoimmune reaction, but do we have any evidence/studies with the Vax+ autoimmune reaction?
agree about the susceptible part. Main reason I got one shot+booster back in 2020 when we didn’t know much. Have had it 2 times since, but I’m usually healthy (that’s the ONLY time I’ve been ill in last 4 years.

growing evidence suggests that COVID-19 vaccination may cause new-onset autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune glomerulonephritis, autoimmune rheumatic diseases, and autoimmune hepatitis. Nevertheless, the causal relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and these autoimmune diseases remains to be demonstrated. In this review, we provide evidence that vaccination induces autoimmunity and summarize possible mechanisms of action, such as molecular mimicry, activation by bystanders, and adjuvants.
