I am sorry to hear about your father. I hope he gets better. Assuming it was the vaccination, that is one case out of 3 billion vaccinations so far. I will take those odds.

I do know there are other side effects. And it is always sad to hear about them. But the number is so few compared to the number of lives saved. Nothing in life is perfect. No medical treatment is perfect. All we can do is the best we can do.
