So why anyone would take this shot to prevent a virus that has a 99.7% survival rate for people our age (70's) is a mystery to me. And I have had the virus.
I'm not sure where this information comes from, but Covid 19 has killed 484,000 Us citizens and many more have gotten seriously ill and have been left with lifelong permanent serious medical conditions.

Some people get mildly ill after receiving their second dose. This is a sign that their immune system is reacting. Most are over it in a few hours. I don't know if this is what you're referring to when you say thus vaccine has has sickened thousands but if that's the case, I'll accept a few deaths and a few thousand people getting mildly ill as opposed to 27.6 million getting ill and 484,000 deaths.

Also, I don't know where you get the 99.7% survival rate. In the US there have been 27. million cases and 484,000 deaths. Unless I'm doing my math correctly that is 18% of the people that get Covid die. That seems like an 83% survival rate. What that doesn't show is how many people have serious long term issues after surviving the virus.

A few thousand that get mildly sick, which may be a normal response and a few dozen deaths that may or may not have been related to the vaccine compared to an 18% chance of dying and a higher chance of being permanently ill is a not brainer for me.
