I’m not confident that I have the numbers right, but I believe that the New York Times said yesterday that in the 18-48 age group affected by this extraordinarily rare problem, in the last year, 126 PEOPLE PER MILLION DIED OF COVID. Compared to ONE per million who died possibly as a result of the vaccination. That helps put it into perspective.
