At the link in post #11 it states:
'As of 10 April 2023, a total of 50,648 deaths caused by ‘COVID vaccines’ had been reported in EudraVigilance – broken down by disease (heart conditions, central nervous system disorders, etc.)'
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-9-2023-001201_EN.html
Assuming that the figure is correct, it's probably statistically insignificant, given that the the population of the EU is 449 million, and whilst some may not have had the vaccine at all, most will have had several doses. The other side of the coin is how many deaths have been prevented by vulnerable people who have been vaccinated and have contracted Covid and survived, might otherwise have died.
I too know lots of people who have had Covid, all of whom had been vaccinated, including members of my own family, (almost all on 'plane flights due to recirculation of air within the cabin containing upwards of 250 passengers), Vaccination doesn't prevent becoming infected, but there's no doubt in my mind that it lessens the effect.
I'm due to have the 'flu jab and Covid jab soon, and would just as happily have a combined jab.
The last two winters, I've had what I think was probably RSV. A runny nose and nasty persistent throaty cough, which has lasted three months, wears me down and gets on other people's nerves. I had chest X-Rays and a camera up my nose and down my throat, and nothing sinister was revealed. The RSV vaccine is being offered by the NHS in England and Wales to those aged 75 - 79. I'd have thought 80 and over would be even more vulnerable, and as I'm 85, I've looked into why I can't have it. Is it because us 'oldies' are considered expendable?
No - it's because there weren't enough over 80s in the trial to be statistically confident that it was safe and effective for them. So it's a case of the NHS being over cautious on behalf of me and my ilk, which is no bad thing, but I face the winter with trepidation of yet another miserable debilitating three months.
If anyone doesn't want to be vaccinated, then fine - don't bother.
As the fairground notices say: 'You ride at your own risk'.
