@kakape I well remember the Anti-Vaxxers bleating "See, we said the vaccines weren't safe!" ehen the first of these death were announced - but, looking at the numbers tells a different story.
If everyone in the UK received one of these vaccines, an incidence rate of 1/200000 would mean that there would be around 350 cases across the ~70 million population - compare this to the number of casualties in road accidents (29,467 in 2024), and the vaccines are obviously much safer.
Similarly, a 360 million population in the US would suggest ~1800 cases, which sounds a lot, until you realise just how many people are killed by the Second Amendment - 16,576 in 2024 .
Most US Anti-Vaxxers are also ammosexuals, yet they are perfectly happy to accept the much higher risk of being shot than getting a shot.
And the fact that these vaccines were withdrawn so quickly after problems came up just reinforces the value of the scientific method, rather than the woo-woo of things like bleach injections, or hydroxychloroquine, which the Anti-Vaxxers seem to prefer.
As a layperson, I find reports like this reassuring.

I'm half expecting that Trumpbis going to have a heart attack on stage at a rally shortly before the election, and be declared dead on the 6th - or possibly be shot, and succumb to his wounds after.
His only chance of living to inauguration day is to lose.
