Covid Vaccine Skeptics

 I know a few people who are Covid vaccine skeptics, including at least one who is rabidly anti-vaccine.

 Looking at the numbers, in the US there have been 1,144,000 Covid deaths. There were about 5,700 people who died after receiving Covid vaccinations, though the CDC says few if any of those deaths were attributable to the vaccine. 

More than 330, 000,000 vaccine doses were administered. Even if all 5,700 actually were from the vaccine, that is just under 2/1000 of 1 percent, compared to a death rate from Covid of just under 2% so Covid is at least 1000 times more deadly than the vaccine, even taking the worst possible spin on it. 

And in truth Covid is far more deadly, since most of those 5,700 were NOT due to the vaccine.
