> If pharma companies trusted them so much why did they require different liability treatment?

In the US they used the same liability structure that has existed for emergency vaccine scale-up since the early 2000s.

> 5 per million vaccinations

This is an unbelievably rare side effect. The fact that you're raising this as evidence of risk is actually revealing basic innumeracy.

The rate of febrile seizures from the MMR vaccine is nearly identical to the rate of myocarditis in young men from the COVID vaccine (the most likely problem for the highest risk group).

In both cases, the problem is rare and almost always relatively minor.

The reason you know and care about one is because COVID mainstreamed the cottage industry that relays numbers like "5 per million" in such a way as to make them seem scary (lol).





Febrile seizures have no long-term consequences in almost 100% of cases, pericarditis/myocarditis are significantly worse.

The reason I know and care is that my wife will probably require dialysis for the rest of her life.

We've been duped into accepting an experimental drug for a disease with minor consequences for otherwise healthy people.


You are once again, simply wrong.

Myo- and pericarditis are both dramatically more serious normally. This is actually not true of the instances caused by the COVID vaccines.

And no, if you’re concerned about myo- and pericarditis from the vaccines, you should be aware that the same disorders are caused by COVID itself at a much higher rate and more serious instances.

Sorry about what happened to your wife, but the fact that infrequent events do happen to specific people (in the case to your wife) does not make those events more frequent than they actually are.
