Exactly!
Not comfortable with calling each other liars here. We may have differing opinions, but I go in with the premise that, especially when people are making personal statements, they are telling the truth.
Spokesperson for the CDC stated just a week ago, "To date, CDC has not detected any unusual or unexpected patterns for deaths following immunization that would indicate that COVID vaccines are causing or contributing to deaths, outside of the 3 confirmed deaths following the Janssen vaccine."
For the poster to have known 2 of the 3 people who have died in the US from getting the vaccine seems like a stretch to me. I'm going to have to differ in opinion on this.
The poster who is claiming they know 2 people who have died from the COVID vaccine may be relying on VAERS, which is notoriously bad. As in claiming someone who dies in an auto accident a day or two after getting a vaccine is a vaccine related death.
Dying in an auto accident after getting a vaccine is tragic. But it’s not a result of the vaccine.18 -

But, in their defense, this is how covid deaths are counted (at least here in Ontario). Public health units have publicly confirmed that if someone dies from any cause but has tested positive for covid in the last 30 days it counts as a covid death - which is kinda messed up if you ask me! Not sure if that is how things are counted there or not though?7 -

No, the doctor determines what caused the patient to die and that's listed as the cause of death. The numbers are generally generated from the death certificate in the US. There are a lot of conspiracy theories about the death count, and most of them make no sense if you understand how the process has always worked. I don't know anything about Ontario, I'm not talking about what happens there.12 -

I'm in Ontario and I can only speak for my own PHU, but all deaths here took place in either hospitals or LTC homes and they were caused by Covid.
Death count comes from the case reporting database which tracks every positive case from test to outcome. The majority have an outcome of "resolved". I supposed it's possible in a busy PHU that someone doing data cleanup was trying to find out what happened to a case left open, discovered the individual was dead (by some other means), and entered a result of "fatal", but I don't see that accounting for very many deaths.
Resolved cases are determined only for COVID-19 cases that have not died. Cases that have died
are considered fatal and not resolved. The following cases are classified as resolved:
Cases that are reported as ‘recovered’ in CCM
Cases that are not hospitalized and are 14 days past their episode date
Cases that are currently hospitalized (no hospital end date entered) and have a status of
‘closed’ in CCM (indicating public health unit follow-up is complete) and are 14 days past
their symptom onset date or specimen collection date
Deaths are determined by using the outcome field in CCM. Any case marked ‘Fatal’ is included in
the deaths data. The CCM field Type of Death is not used to further categorize the data.6 -
From what I've read elsewhere (but don't have a cite for), some of this "counting traffic deaths as Covid" confusion is fostered by misunderstandings of medical bureaucratese. (I'll leave it to the reader to consider whether the fostering is intentional, or not.)
When someone has Covid, many bad things happen physically. They may get blood clots, pneumonia, etc., as part of the progress of that Covid infection. If Covid-induced pneumonia kills them, the cause of death is Covid in one sense, the pneumonia in another sense.
IMU, as someone not in a medical profession, there are different rules in different places (US states, for example) about how death certificates are coded. There may be primary/secondary causes, etc. There exists bureaucratic technical language that describes how those forms are intended to be filled out. In some cases, that language will be the untidy, opaque kind of writing that we all love to hate, because it's murky and syntactically complex, maybe also relies on definitions in some other part of a regulation, or terms that have a technical meaning somewhat distinct from the common English usage, etc.
In this situation, that language can be quoted, misinterpreted or misrepresented, to suggest that if someone has a traffic crash after Covid, and dies from the injuries from that crash, the cause of death could be listed as Covid. The actual meaningful distinction is more analogous to whether the cause of death from the accident would be listed as the crash, or (say) the severing of a major artery when some car-part punctured through their torso or something like that.
As an intellectual exercise for non-specialists: Say someone gets Covid, symptomatically relatively mild, but experiences blood clots, which IMU can happen. If they're driving when a clot reaches a particularly critical point in their body, causes a brain or heart blockage (maybe because they have some pre-existing vulnerability to such a thing, even), and they crash their car as a consequence . . . a Covid death, or not?
(Personally, I don't care how that would be coded on the death certificate, because I'm betting something like that is rare enough not to significantly distort large-scale statistical analyses we care about. Just my opinion, though.)10 -
A week or so ago, someone posted a link to a video here. The title was natural immunity vs vaccines, and if I recall it is likely in response to my philosophical struggles. Anyhow, the video covered broader topics than the title implies and it gave me fodder for thought. Last weekend, with friends, I brought up the video, and outlined portion that discusses where and how vaccination doses might best be invested. Note, that I did not take a position on this topic, I just found the topic thought provoking and could make an interesting discussion. No discussion, just blowback was the response. OOOPs.
Anyhow, last night a suggested article popped up. It was a more thorough discussion of this point. Sharing here. This group is very diverse and I am interested in additional viewpoints on this topic. Enjoy!

I don't think it's really a tradeoff. We are unlikely to be sending it all to the third world while there are so many unvaxxed people here, and there's no indication that we don't have enough to have it freely available to all currently unvaxxed and also available for people (especially older people) who might benefit from a booster. Also, my understanding for Pfizer at least was that part of the problem with sending it to the third world was the limited time frame it would be good and cold storage requirements, but that's a vague recollection from back when it was first coming out.5 -

These were aquaintances, not close friends.
The first was very concerned about covid, he stayed home all year. Went out as soon as he was able to get vaccinated. He had a heart attack within 24 hours. I don't know his family history, but these vaccines do cause increased risk for heart attack.
The second, I don't know her cause of death - coworker of a family member. She was out already for knee surgery, so she was not in peak health. Sick in bed for a week, died. I don't know if she got an infection or something - but everyone in her life said she died as a result of the vaccine.4 -

Just because someone does shortly after getting a vaccine does not mean the vaccine caused their death. It's possible, but just as likely that they got another illness or has a heart attack that would have happened anyway. There is not enough information there to say the vaccine caused their deaths. Likewise, it was explained by someone else on this thread about how the vaccine side affect reporting system requires reports of anything happening shortly after the vaccine regardless of whether the vaccine was related or not.18

That's true, in the same vein just because somebody dies "with" covid doesn't mean they died "from" covid, but we still count them as covid deaths. You can't count one way when it suits your fancy and refuse to use the same methodology for other things.4 -

I have heard that rumor, that people die from car wrecks with Covid, so it gets reported as a Covid death. If you go back a year+ in this thread, you might notice that this was discussed here. I don't recall where this was ever proven. Just because someone claims there were masses of misclassified deaths doesn't mean it actually happened.17 -

So, in other words, you know zero people who have died from the vaccine. Glad you cleared that up.23 -
Just a little context on cause of death. My oldest sister had a double mastectomy at 38. At 54 she was diagnosed with lung, brain and adrenal cancer. Six weeks later, less than a week before radiation treatment for the brain cancer was going to begin, she died from pneumonia. Pneumonia was the official cause of death, but, the cancers, weakened her system.
Not related to the above. As far as the 3rd shot for covid goes, my husband was hospitalized in late May for 5 days. Blood clots in his knee area traveled to his lungs. We had our second Moderna shot in April. No family history of blood clots. The doctor did ask if we had the vaccine and said there could be a small risk factor for blood clots as a side effect. He’s been on Xarelto since then. How can you make a decision whether or not to get the 3rd shot, not knowing if the vaccine may have caused the blood clots? From what I understand, we would be eligible around December. No one knows for sure. Ultimately, a very personal decision.16 -

These people didn't all die in September, but they were all reported on the same blog in September. The blog is a group of lawyers who seem to say that all the covid vaccines, even though they are different types of vaccines, are deadly, and are advertising their services to people looking to file lawsuits.
I have no doubt that there will be some possible vaccine injuries or deaths. The rare Astra zeneca side effects can be deadly if the person doesn't get appropriate medical care. Anyone who is concerned about any symptoms within 48 hrs or so of vaccination (any vaxx, not just covid) should absolutely seek medical care if they are concerned.
Considering that hundreds of millions of people have gotten some version of a covid vaccine with no ill effects, and considering the people I know who have gotten covid and either died, sustained a serious long-term and expensive illness, or just had an awful couple of weeks and then a month or so of headaches and fatigue, I'll happily get another dose of the vaccine if/when it's offered. The math is clear.21 -

In passenger seat and skipped over much of above, but will go back later. I will describe the experience of good friends which I do find concerning.
Husband got his second Moderna shot. That night, he got sick. You can debate whether related or not. Description used words like paralysis, but nurse wife ultimately labeled if seizure. Brought to er and admitted. Tests done. Wife asked for antibody assessment several times, out of concern of vaccine reaction. Was refused. Was told no proof of causality and “not on list”. IMO if one never examines an oddly timed illness for consideration of association, then how does it ever get on the list. And if only items on the list get considered, then new problems are never identified. Anyhow, assuming this was all described to me accurately, I find it concerning and makes me wonder about all kinds on claims.
Quick edit: this gentleman also had confirmed COVID Xmas 2020.4 -

What you described us pretty much where my head is at. I am pro immunity and pro vaccination. I am struggling some with forcing booster shots and even struggling with forcing vaccination for those with “natural immunity”.

Many people do die of heart attacks. many people have vaccines.
It stands to reason that some people will have a heart attack 24 hours after having a vaccine - in fact would be statistically impossible for this not to happen, given the frequency of both events.
Likewise people have heart attacks within 24 hours of having a roast dinner or going to a football game or playing Scrabble - needless to say, one event did not cause the other.

Alabama man dies after being turned away from 43 hospitals as Covid packs ICUs, family says
When Ray DeMonia was having a cardiac emergency last month, his Alabama family waited anxiously for a nearby hospital with available space in its intensive care unit.
But in a state where coronavirus infections and unvaccinated patients have overwhelmed hospitals in recent months, finding an available ICU bed was an ordeal. It was so difficult, his family wrote this month, that the hospital in his hometown of Cullman, Ala., contacted 43 others in three states — and all were unable to give him the care he needed.
DeMonia, who was eventually transferred to a Mississippi hospital about 200 miles away, died at 73 on Sept. 1 — three days shy of his birthday.
Raven DeMonia, his daughter, told The Washington Post on Sunday that it was “shocking” when the family was told that dozens of ICUs were unable to treat her father.
“It was like, ‘What do you mean?’ ” she said when she found out her father was being airlifted to a Mississippi hospital. “I never thought this would happen to us.”
Now, in DeMonia’s obituary, his family is urging those who remain unvaccinated to get immunized to help hospitals that have been pushed to their limits and struggling to treat emergencies not related to the pandemic. His daughter told The Post he was vaccinated against the coronavirus.
“In honor of Ray, please get vaccinated if you have not, in an effort to free up resources for non COVID related emergencies,” the family wrote. “He would not want any other family to go through what his did.”16 -

Blood clots are one of the known and recognized side effects of these vaccines, some manufacturers more than others. Don't act like it's so far outside the realm of possibility.6 -
@ExistingFish Blood clots are also a symptom of Covid and at a much higher rate than the vaccine. All vaccines have side effects for some subset of the population. On the whole the symptoms of Covid are far more serious than the vaccines.
I had the shingles vaccine a month ago and it caused some weird redness near the injection site as well as some tingling side effects. A month later that redness has faded into a "tan line" which makes me apprehensive about the second shot. I'll still get it because I've had friends who had shingles and I don't want it.
Life is full of calculated risks. I'm fully vaccinated and in spite of some minor concerns I decided I would much rather take the chance with the vaccine than Covid itself. Others may feel differently. However, if I have a serious health issue or get in an accident that requires immediate attention I would not be very happy that the ER is not able to accommodate me because the hospital is full of people who chose not to be vaccinated. If the non-vaccinated are so convinced they are on the right path then perhaps they should stay the *kitten* away from hospitals.18 -

Husband got his second Moderna shot. That night, he got sick. You can debate whether related or not. Description used words like paralysis, but nurse wife ultimately labeled if seizure. Brought to er and admitted. Tests done. Wife asked for antibody assessment several times, out of concern of vaccine reaction. Was refused. Was told no proof of causality and “not on list”. IMO if one never examines an oddly timed illness for consideration of association, then how does it ever get on the list. And if only items on the list get considered, then new problems are never identified. Anyhow, assuming this was all described to me accurately, I find it concerning and makes me wonder about all kinds on claims.
Quick edit: this gentleman also had confirmed COVID Xmas 2020.
If he had the vaccine recently, you would expect him to have antibodies. How would that remotely qualify as evidence that the vaccination caused the stroke?
Blood clots are one of the known and recognized side effects of these vaccines, some manufacturers more than others. Don't act like it's so far outside the realm of possibility.
Blood clots also just happen sometimes.
One person having a blood clot after a vaccine means nothing.6 -

Unfortunately the other two names were far too common, do you know how many "Kim Jarvis" there are on LinkedIn? I do now.
Did you actually read those articles?
1) The first one says the 16 year old girl had mitral valve prolapse. My dad had the exact same thing. And it caused about eight heart attacks. One of which killed him.
I’m gonna say this wasn’t the vaccine. Which is the view of her parents.
2) This one has “allegedly” right in the headline. Editing to add it is a campus newspaper, with extremely poor editing.
Hard pass.
3) No autopsy at the time the article was written. So also, hard pass.
You have so far shared zero proof that the vaccines available in North America have killed anyone.18 -

No good if it's on a covid blog - k, found news articles - no good for you either. Got it.
Of course it says allegedly, it isn't proven yet.
Because, 3rd - regular people don't routinely get autopsies. As stated further up in this thread, doctor's won't even put recent vaccination on a possible cause of ER admission, it isn't even being considered - so there never will be evidence because people keep denying it is even possible.2 -
So you are now moving away from ' 2 people I know' - who had the vaccine then died of things people do die of anyway to people on blog sites with unproven connections??
Have you heard of confirmation bias?17
