why I am now anti vax
Something is not right
Like everyone else, I have had my series of childhood vaccinations and never thought much about it. At least until now. But, there is something about these new Covid vaccines that does not seem right. They appeared awfully fast, just months after a novel virus appears. They are not even vaccine's in the traditional sense: neutered virus particles that are meant to stimulate an immune reaction to the pathogen without the ability to replicate. Nor are they something that has ever been used on humans before. We should have proceeded with caution. We should have followed the safety protocols of clinical trials. The system failed us.
Clinical trials are underway and will not be reporting their results until 2024. I have already published a blog on this What is a Clinical Trial? The key thing to know about the clinical trials is that they are a protocol developed after decades of trial and error. It is the best way and safest way that we know in order to get new drugs to market. Tampering with this should never have occurred. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical companies were offered immunity from prosecution and civil litigation. The latest is that the pharmaceuticals have now been given permission to adjust the recipes for their vaccines without going back through clinical trials. All our protections have been removed. Why are people ok with this?
USA Adverse Reporting
The USA maintains a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) that can be found here. https://vaers.hhs.gov/
European Adverse Reporting
Europe maintains their own adverse reporting and can be found here. https://dap.ema.europa.eu/analytics/saw.dll?PortalPages
Canadian Adverse Reporting
There is an adverse reporting system in Canada, and can be found here. https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccine-safety/
The following was taken from Canada’s reporting system on Feb 10, 2021.
Of the 480 individual AEFI reports (0.051% of all doses administered), 68 were considered serious (0.007% of all doses administered). The 480 individual adverse events reports represent 480 people who reported one or more adverse events. Among the 480 adverse events reports, the most frequently reported adverse events were:
- vaccination site reactions,
- paraesthesia (tingling or prickling),
- urticaria (hives),
- pruritis (itching), and
- nausea.
Among the 68 serious adverse events reports, the most frequently reported adverse event was anaphylaxis.
Three deaths were reported. These deaths occurred after the administration of a vaccine. Following medical case review, it has been determined that these deaths are not linked to a COVID-19 vaccine.
There may be delays in receiving reporting forms. These delays may be due to jurisdictions investigating and reviewing each AEFI prior to submitting the information to PHAC. There are also limitations to reporting practices such as under reporting, missing information, and differing AEFI reporting practices across jurisdictions in Canada. Information is collected on individuals for whom an AEFI report was submitted, not on the total number of individuals who experience an adverse event as not every adverse event is reported.
Does it work?
Again, very difficult to assess this because clinical trials are underway but not yet reporting. They claim the vaccines are effective, but they needed to make this claim to get regulatory fast track approval. They are relying on the outcome of the clinical trials that are underway to prove this claim. It is not yet proven. I have had this argument with a number of people. The pretrials did not prove effectiveness against death or hospitalizations. That is a false assumption that everyone seems to make. They define effectiveness as measured by counting the number of symptoms, which is highly subjective, vague and inconclusive.
Do I need it?
This one is easy to decide. In Canada, according to StatsCan, 80% of deaths are people in their 80’s. 82% are in long term health care facilities (93% in Quebec). 99% have comorbidities. None of these factors apply to me, so if anything, I am in the other group – the 10% of deaths who are under 70. On further consideration, the age is an issue for comorbiditie more than covid outcome. The table on CFR by age is a better measure. But remember, CFR is a measure of people seeking medical assistance not an actual measurement of people getting sick.
But again, 99% of those are with comorbidity, leaving me in the 1% of the 10%. That is pretty good odds in my favour, should I actually encounter the virus.
Dataset: Ontario #COVID19 age-stratified CFRs
Dataset: Ontario deaths by vaccination status
| age range | CFR | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-19: | 0.003% | (1 in 32,018 cases) |
| 20-29: | 0.008% | (1 in 12,075) |
| 30-39: | 0.03% | (1 in 3,542) |
| 40-49: | 0.076% | (1 in 1,316) |
| 50-59: | 0.30% | (1 in 329) |
| 60-69: | 1.43% | (1 in 70) |
| 70-79: | 3.64% | (1 in 27) |
| 80-89: | 10.96% | (1 in 9) |
| 90+: | 19.31% | (1 in 5) |
So because I do not have comorbidity, my odds are much greater than 1 in 70 and may even be closer to 1 in 7000 but certainly at least 1 in 700.
| age range | IFR |
|---|---|
| 0-19 | .0013% |
| 20-29 | .0088% |
| 30-39 | .021 % |
| 40-49 | .042% |
| 50-59 | .14% |
| 60-69 | .65% |
| 70+ nonLTC | 2.9% |
| 70+ all | 4.9% |
The odds are also pretty good that I won’t even encounter the virus this year. I just checked the Covid-19 case tracker for Canada and after a year, we seem to have about 804,000 cases. Out of 38 million Canadians, that is about 2.1% of the population, or 1 in 47, so my chance of getting Covid in the next year is probably the same as last year which is 1 in 47. Again, pretty low odds. So why take a risky procedure for something that I have very low odds of getting and very low odds of perishing if I get it. I can afford to wait a few years and watch what happens, and make a more informed decision at that time.
So, to summarize, 2.1% chance of getting Covid and a 1.43% chance of perishing if I get Covid leaves me with a 0.03% chance of perishing from Covid this year. Compare that with a 100% chance of perishing in the next 30 years or 3% chance per year (an actuarial table gives it at 2% because your chance of dying doubles every 8 years).

Discussion and Summary
The scientific methods states that any claim can be made but it has to be observable and repeatable to be proven. It also has the concept of a null hypothesis, in that one would have to show the efficacy of a
