Sure--let's start with a breakdown of vaccine doses administered.I am not anti-vaccine, but have to agree with Hershey 100% on what he is saying about the vaccine. We know several people that had reactions to the vaccine. And now with booster shots, it will be interesting to see what the percentage of people is that get the booster. Because I speak to many that got the vaccine like my parents, and some close friends, that say they are done. They will not be going back to get boosters.
Thoughts? Are all these people that got the vaccines, are they going to line up every 6 to 8 months to get a booster shot? Do we know it is safe to continually put this in your body over and over again? That has not been tested at all.

Pfizer: 209,073,174 (56%)
Moderna: 145,108,915 (39%)
J&J: 14,330,970 (4%)
Total: 368,513,059

Let's look at immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) first, which was one of the first well-publicized side effects and one that worried me initially.
Cases of ITP post-vaccine: <5,000 (trying to find the exact number) = 5,000 / 368,513,059 = 0.001% or 1.35 per 100,000
Cases of ITP in the population: 3.3 per 100,000
ITP occurs at more than 2x the rate in the general population than it does after a Covid-19 vaccine shot.

What about myocarditis and pericarditis?

Cases of myocarditis or pericarditis post-vaccine: ~1,000 = 1,000 / 368,513,059 = 0.00027% or 0.27 per 100,000
Cases in the population: 10 to 20 per 100,000 for viral myocarditis source
Viral myocarditis alone occurs at 37x the rate in the general population than it does after a Covid-19 vaccine shot. Add pericarditis and the numbers for the Covid-19 vaccines look even better.
Any other side effects you're concerned about?
