No mention of the number of poisonous vaccines taken by each person? Seems disingenuous..

Not true. Read some of those plenty studies that monitor vaccine side effects.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40267340#40267364

this one ? https://www.statnews.com/2020/09/09/astrazeneca-covid19-vacc...I persist about what I said, waiting for someone to demonstrate this is not the case ? Furthermore, there are a lot of controversies regarding HepB and HPV vaccines.

Are there any real world examples of serious long term side effects from ill-advised vaccines?

This Lesswrong thread has a good discussion about the subject.https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/niQ3heWwF6SydhS7R/making-vac...

I'm starting to think 100% vaccination is a weird goal. There have been examples of drugs that only caused issues years after taking it. Thalidomide (called "Neurosedyn" in Sweden) is one. Even if issues arise right away, it may take years to gather statistical data to agree on the risk factors. In the meantime, to any one doctor, it may look random.Injecting every person on Earth with one of only a few, new, vaccines seems dangerous. This has me wondering about two things:1

It's crazy to say that it is a safe vaccine with those statistics.

First, the data source for the article is from 2019, so neither the recent vaccine situation or COVID-19 would be represented in the data set. Second, your comment is needlessly narrow and focuses on the vaccines being a potential cause, ignoring a wealth of evidence that the virus itself causes notably worse outcomes than the vaccine does.

What a clowndagsdgfhdgdj - “You have to go back over 60 years and even then only find issues caused by manufacturing problems, i.e., cases where not the intended vaccine was injected...”

the vaccines are causing death on the scale that covid is? is that really so.
