I was just repeating what you said. You said "Put a million people right in front of me. I would look them all in the eye and pull the switch". To get to 7,900 based on the hypothetical scenario posted by R Cameron you would need 7.9 billion people. Is someone disagrees with that math, I would have to question their mental capabilities. When have I have ever said vaccines are bad or don't work?
You remind me of Tucker Carlson. "What? I never said white supremacists are noble, I was just asking questions! What's wrong with asking questions??"
I have no idea what that means but yes, I like to ask thought provoking questions.
In a completely fictional scenario since we don't have official numbers from the CDC and the VAERS doesn't seem to be a valid starting point to most on this forum.
The thoughts you are provoking from me are less about your questions and more about why you are asking them/why you think they are meaningful. The trolley question? How many of us do you think that is new to? This is a written discussion, not our college philosophy classes where we could all look intelligent by confusing the rest of the class as we talked ourselves around in a (pointless) circle.
Top Google result for reported adverse events is from the CDC... None of the numbers in there are anything like your 8,000 out of 1,000,000. Just... if you are seriously trying to have a discussion about adverse effects, why didn't you bother to collect the reference info?

I think he was going with my suggestion of 1 in 1 million, and with a population of 7.9 billion, extrapolating 7900 worldwide deaths. Not 7900 in every million, that would indeed be absurdly high. And, for what it's worth, my 1 in a million was only an example, it seems the number is actually much less.
That is a fair point. I had also made that connection, as the 7,900 had to come from somewhere. But then we had further numbers confusion...
and
leading me to think he really has no particular numbers in mind, just a general "bigger numbers make a more impressive point" philosophy (still agreeing the origin of 7,900). Meanwhile, the actual relevant data that we do have from the CDC goes ignored, likely because it is "not perfect"...
The problem is that you don’t (or refuse to) understand VAERS data.
I never said CDC or WHO were completely fictional. I was talking about R Cameron's made up scenario. The CDC or WHO has not released official numbers for those types of deaths at this point. The 1 million came from a discussion with fastpitch based on his statement. Reading comprehension is important.
And what is my agenda? What are you seeing between lines? It must be something interesting. Please tell.
Pretty sure we all see the same thing, Hawk. Find a new schtick, mate. It's getting old.
What exactly is it that everyone sees? How am supposed to know what the deal is if nobody wants to tell me?
