Hi Peter - the essential objection put forward by people such as my elderly father in defense of the shots - was that yes, the adverse events were sad, but that given the huge amount of jabs administered...weren't these inevitable in the task of saving lives overall?

Have the adverse events been proportionately any significantly higher this time around - than with other vaccination campaigns...that's what he was asking?

I'm sure they have been - massively - have been aware of the adverse events from early on - but I've not seen any analysis specifically on this 'proportionality' issue - that could be presented?

Proportionality was the key factor, for him.

I personally don't see how ANY lives were saved at all, by these shots...they certainly did no good, and instead did only harm as far as I can see...but has any analysis been done on his specific question - so that this rollout can clearly be compared to other, previous, much more limited vaccination campaigns?
