Hot shot

Since I'm coming up to booster time I am checking the vaccine adverse event reports, aided by @AetherCzar's tutorial. First EWD153, then EL9264; both Pfizer/BioNTech.

EWD153 turns up very few events: "all doses" come up to three (3), and if you only had one dose then that's just one event - ever. EL9264 by contrast looks ... hot: 713 events. Of the latter events, fourteen people who took that jab died soon-enough afterward their survivors reported it to the system.

I take it that "events" does not mean "jabs"; the report includes as percentage the event-count against 713. It's confusing and unhelpful. I mean, unless you want to terrify such normies as get a little under-the-weather and think "OMG I HAVE A 2% CHANCE OF CROSSING THE STYX". In general the "Caveats" section exists for a reason.

On the other hand, it may be that EWD153's lowball is an artifact of it being early thus usually followed by another jab only four-six weeks later. If followed up by whatever lot, any adverse-event (from whatever source) will be blamed on the second shot.

Still: EL9264 was better than ER8727 which came with 2291 events with thirty toe tags.
