Those who deny that Covid isn't dangerous/is a hoax say it has only killed the same amount of people as a seasonal flu (its killed a lot more - 127k in the UK, 560k in the US, 2.9m workdwide) and therefore no one should be worried about it
Those who claim the vaccines are dangerous are now saying so because 7 people in the UK out of 30 million vaccinated have had blood clots.
The best advice I think anyone can give on ATS is not to take medical advice from threads on ATS
Actually 79 people have had clots and 19 of those have died.

I had covid and ended up in hospital in Wolverhampton with deep vein thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism. I nearly died. So I very much resent the idiots on here saying it doesn't exist.
I had no underlying conditions and am quite fit as a former British soldier who ran and went to the gym most days so didn't see it coming!
I know this is a conspiracy site and I am worried now because I'm now a blood clot risk and took the astazeneca first jab a month ago. I'm ok folks

Hospitals were not overwhelmed. The wards dedicated to covid might have been but a lot of wards were near empty.
The empty nightingale hospitals were never needed.
This last few weeks the U.K. is below the average weekly deaths.
And in 2019 there were 530,000 deaths.
So 14% extra is once again around 70,000.
How many of that 70,000 were because of cancelled hospital appointments? How many because of stress? We don’t know.

3 percent risk of death from covid, 1 in a million risk of death from the vaccine.
Right now I'm not even sure that these anti vaxxers really believe what they are saying. To be honest I think a lot of them may not even be real people, just hoaxes.

That’s 0.3% not 3%
The majority aren’t “anti vaxxers” they are just sceptical of a rushed vaccine issued under emergency authoriztion where the vaccine makers are except from liability. For a virus that 99.7% survive, many with no symptoms. So talking of what’s not real and hoaxes...

It is around 0.3% fatality with Covid (0.2 for UK) but that's 30,000 greater than the risk of vaccine death for the 18 -45 age bracket.

Wow, how many doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered for these 18 to have fatal complications? - Apparently 37 million doses in the UK alone.
And how many have already died of COVID-19 in the UK? 127,000?
Hmm...

If the lethality of covid was .3 % then about 65% of the UK population would needed to have already had covid. That is about 4 times higher than most recent esitmate I have seen.

Actually, technically, you just quoted the most recent estimate you have seen.
It’s an estimate.
Come back when you have facts.
Like about the long term effects of a vaccine that doesn’t vaccinate. If it doesn’t vaccinate, what is it’s primary function?

They are not experimental vaccines. They are in use.
The Benefits Outweigh The Risks(tm).
The obvious flaw being that we don’t KNOW all the risks yet.
The statistics are in the public domain. We know the risks. It’s a a one in a million chance for the age groups in question that you will form a rare blood-clot, something which may happen without the vaccination anyway.
Besides, everything carries risk anyway. You have a greater chance of dying from Covid than dying from a possible (because it's not definitively proven, but now seems likely) link between Covid and rare blood clots. As has been reminded elsewhere, you have a greater chance of blood clots using the contraceptive pill.

yes they are. the experiment is their deployment without long-term effects knowledge.
