The only flaw I can see in that argument is that getting covid can kill you, as can getting flu to a lesser extent. So if you survive fine (maybe) otherwise? 

  By the way, I take the flu vaccine as well.

Aitch.

I don't think the families of the 6.4 million people who have died from covid to-date would agree that this is a scam.  If it is a political conspiracy it must have taken some organisation to get all countries worldwide to take part.

I have never had the Flu and have on many occasions been in contact with those that had it at that moment. My mother brother, maternal cousins and son have never had it. We have all had flu jabs many years ago with bad reactions so none of us has repeated this. My Father incidentaly did get the Flu every few years.

Ah, the benefits of clean living and a healthy lifestyle. For those of us who like the odd BBQ sausage or pork chop washed down with a beer or a glass of wine then the covid vaccines have (literally) been a life saver. Hence the dramatic reduction in deaths versus infections since the inoculation...

... program began. 

 Personally, I'll stick to the medical advice given by health authorities the world over and keep taking the vaccines.

Yes that is it, don't look after yourself, just put all your trust in big pharma. Medical experts are not incentified to push vaccines, they all have your best interest at heart. Keep taking every vaccine you can grab and you'll be just fine.

So if I and at least "quite a few" others tell you that we've had 3 doses of the vaccination and have no "persistent cough" (or any other ill-effects), are you prepared to accept that there's an alternative view?  Would it help if I told you that my aunt died, unvaccinated, of Covid-19?  It must be very frightening for people who live their lives depending on conspiracy theories 🤔

We already know of a very rare blood clotting side effect with the AstraZeneca vaccine, which resulted in the death of 18 people - among the 25 million people who had been vaccinated in the EU and UK as of April 2021.  That's a tragedy for those 18 people and their families, but certainly isn't proof that Covid-19 vaccinations "will be proven dangerous to many":

https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/astrazenecas-covid-19-vaccine-ema-finds-possible-link-very-rare-cases-unusual-blood-clots-low-blood

However, we also know that specific ethnicities are disproportionately affected by Covid-19, with higher instances of death -  one of the causal factors being the lack of access to healthcare, including a lack of vaccination:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/expert-answers/coronavirus-infection-by-race/faq-20488802

I've been making my own decisions for many years, and prefer to do so based on fact, not conspiracy theories.  And I'm not judgemental about people who enjoy the occasional burger or beer.

So on what basis do you state the Covid vaccinations will be proven to be dangerous to "many"?

Thanks, however I look after myself from a health perspective and I do trust the medical authorities advice. I take (or as you put it, grab) whatever vaccines are recommended by the medical authorities and will continue to do so. So far 3 covid vaccinations and 2 flu jabs. I'm due a fourth covid inoculation this autumn plus another flu jab.

The majority of people I know, family and friends, do the same, they are living happily, safe in the knowledge that if they do catch covid then the vaccines help prevent serious affects. 

Aitch.
