I'm alive because of the "pharma industry", so yeah I will put my faith in that rather than the fruit loops on the internet who think they're enlightened because they read a Facebook post about a killer vaccine.
Better source then Facebook :https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronav...
171k adverse events.
your link says said:
For all COVID-19 vaccines, the overwhelming majority of reports relate to injection-site reactions (sore arm for example) and generalised symptoms such as ‘flu-like’ illness, headache, chills, fatigue (tiredness), nausea (feeling sick), fever, dizziness, weakness, aching muscles, and rapid heartbeat. Generally, these happen shortly after the vaccination and are not associated with more serious or lasting illness.
These types of reactions reflect the normal immune response triggered by the body to the vaccines. They are typically seen with most types of vaccine and tend to resolve within a day or two. The nature of reported suspected side effects is broadly similar across age groups, although, as was seen in clinical trials and as is usually seen with other vaccines, they may be reported more frequently in younger adults.
Hmmm, slightly less scary.These types of reactions reflect the normal immune response triggered by the body to the vaccines.

Personally couldn’t care. I was just responding to your “fruit loops on the internet who think they're enlightened because they read a Facebook post about a killer vaccine” slur with a government source which shows both adverse events and death numbers. You can debate the relative odds, but it’s a fact that the vaccine kills some healthy young people. Pointing that out does not make anyone a fruitloop.

You couldn’t care about the details of your government source?!? That’s very bizarre. Why bother posting the link then?
I am simply linking him to a better and more official source in the response to the fruit loops on Facebook comment.Anti vax leaflet through the door this morning.
Basically telling people that the vaccine is dangerous and referencing thalidomide.
Website at the bottom is doctors4covidethics.org
Village FB has already sprung into action and identified the resident who posted them from CCTV (apparently at 5.45am!)

Lol you need to research more thoroughly. These fine vaccine manufacturers are so confident in their product that they insisted that they were given total exemption from being sued if their vaccine, still being trialled until 2023, went pear shaped. You really must stop using the term 'loon' by the way. 
- it may come back to haunt you.
Anti vax t - it may come back to haunt you.
ttery.Suspect you have more chance of being run over by bus or falling out the sky in an aeroplane than having a problem with any of the vaccines on offer.
You have the biggest vaccine "trial" in human history ongoing right in front of you
Perspective is all...

Btw not anti vax in any shape or form thanks. Why do you assume this?
Would you buy new car without warranty? Nope, but you allow an unproved shot of something into your body, good luck to you. I'll pass, thanks and take my chance.
literally hundreds of millions of people have had these vaccines across the globe and you think there is a serious risk?Suggest go read up on the laws of probability & get some perspective.

Wow, just wow, pleased you are happy in your trust. Not for me
Wow, just wow yourself....Unless of course your are a PhD level and beyond epidemiologist / bio-chemist / medical research fellow / statistician etc etc and you know something the rest of the world doesn't !!. (If not then Reddit/PH/ Facebook etc are not really the best places to gather data on which to base your opinions!
)Otherwise, frankly you are fear-mongering & as I said, you appear to lack much in the way of any perspective. The numbers of people successfully and safely vaccinated speak for themselves, as do the resultant falls in cases , hospitalisations and deaths in those countries where vaccines have been widely and swiftly delivered.

With infection rates still heading upwards it's difficult to see how they can relax things soon
Hospitalisations and deaths are not seeing the same correlation though. Which are the real key metrics nowCarlosFandango11 said:

Which are the real key metrics nowInfection rates are fairly pointless now with so many vaccinated, and they will no doubt give up testing and reporting on infections at some point. The virus is never going to stop circulating and we will all likely test positive on and off for the rest of out lives.
Hospitalisations and deaths are the important figures.
As much as I generally hate any phrases used by the government, vaccines have 'broken the link' between infection and hospitalisation.

What's behind the lower numbers that we're seeing recently for daily vaccinations? Is it any one thing?
While I'm in favour of getting back to normal now, it'd be better if we were getting through the unvaccinated population a lot more quickly than we currently are.
84% of the population have had a first jab. When you take into account those that don't want it for any reason, the simple reason may be that we are running out of people to jab. Obviously the 2nd ones will continue at reasonable levels for a while yetWhile I'm in favour of getting back to normal now, it'd be better if we were getting through the unvaccinated population a lot more quickly than we currently are.
