Thank you for posting the chart in post # 23. That chart is from the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System. The law requires a report be made for any event that occurs after a vaccination. The report must be made even if the vaccination is not believed to be the cause of the adverse event, it simply is used to trigger investigation. Death is a mandated event to be reported. In any population of older people, those getting the vaccines to date, there will be deaths. So far 64 million doses have been given in the US.

Now as to your claim that there are 500+ reported deaths. You are wrong because you didn't read the chart carefully. The chart you are showing displays all the reported deaths from all vaccines, not just Covid vaccines. In fact the chart shows 196 reported deaths from the Pfizer and 173 from the Moderna product, or 369 deaths.

I don't see a date on your chart, but even if the data is a week old, and the reports take some time to make it onto the data, is it surprising that 400 people might have died within 2 weeks of a vaccination? The average daily death rate in the US is 7000 per day, all ages included. So in a 2 week period almost 100,000 Americans die.

Nothing on the chart you posted says that the deaths were caused by vaccination. But even if it were vaccine related, a disease that has killed 1.8% of identified cases [500,000 /28,000,000] is far more dangerous than a vaccine that kills 0.00058% of its recipients [369/64000000]

Further the CDC has published its analysis of all adverse events during the early period of vaccination, for shots given Dec 14 to Jan 13. There were ~14 million doses given and 113 reported deaths, mostly in Long term care facilities. In that highly at risk of death due to age and disease, the death rate following vaccine was 0.000807142 % and the CDC report says:

A total of 113 deaths were reported to VAERS, including 78 (65%) among LTCF residents; available information from death certificates, autopsy reports, medical records, and clinical descriptions from VAERS reports and health care providers did not suggest any causal relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and death.

In summary, the number you cited was wrong, the implication you made that vaccines have been shown to cause deaths is unsupported and per the CDC wrong, and even if the vaccines did kill every person whose death is temporally related to vaccination, it would still be safer by 1000's percent than not getting vaccinated.
