Even if the vaccine killed and injured a few, its benefits far outweighed its costs.

Answer from Google:

Confirmed deaths directly caused by COVID-19 vaccines are extremely rare, while reports of deaths occurring after vaccination are more common but often unrelated to the vaccine itself.

In the United States, as of mid-2024, the CDC has not verified any deaths as a direct result of the vaccines approved for use there. However, health authorities worldwide have identified a very small number of fatal cases linked to specific rare complications, such as Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS).

Key data points regarding reported versus verified deaths include:Verified Causal Links: In England and Wales, official data through July 2023 recorded 56 deaths where the COVID-19 vaccine was listed as the underlying cause. Globally, a literature review of reported post-vaccination deaths found 14 cases classified as "very probable" or "demonstrated".

Reported vs. Caused: Public reporting systems like VAERS in the U.S. allow anyone to report a death following vaccination, even if the cause was clearly something else (like an accident or unrelated illness). As of late 2021, over 10,000 such reports had been submitted in the U.S. out of hundreds of millions of doses, but investigations found that nearly all were caused by other factors.

Specific Vaccine Risks: The Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine was associated with a rare blood clotting condition (TTS) occurring in approximately 4 people per million doses, leading to its eventual withdrawal from the U.S. market.

Overall Impact: Large-scale studies, including one covering four years, found no increase in all-cause mortality linked to mRNA vaccination. In contrast, global vaccination efforts are estimated to have prevented between 2.5 million and 19.8 million deaths from COVID-19 itself.
