My former U of M professor said at a grad gathering to be wary of statistics. Being a good farm girl, she knew of what she spoke. She said, “A couple of statisticians were out rabbit hunting. They both spotted the same rabbit at the same time and each took a shot. One shot was two feet in front of the rabbit, one shot was two feet behind the rabbit. On average the rabbit was dead”.

There were people who had two, three or four vaccine shots and they got C-19 and some of them died.
All that said, my biggest complaint is the absurd way sick people were handled, especially those in hospitals and care homes.
