1/ Columbia University researcher on estimated vaccine-related deaths in the US. The average vaccine-induced fatality rate is estimated at 0.04%. (Holy cow!! That's higher than the IFR for most people. )

2/ "Vaccination correlated negatively with mortality 6-20 weeks post-injection, while vaccination predicted all-cause mortality 0-5 weeks post-injection in almost all age groups and with an age-related temporal pattern consistent with the US vaccine rollout."

3/ "Results from fitted regression slopes (p<0.05 FDR corrected) suggest a US national average VFR of 0.04% " ... " and 146K to 187K vaccine-associated US deaths between February and August, 2021"

4/ "Comparing our estimate with the CDC-reported VFR (0.002%) suggests VAERS deaths are underreported by a factor of 20, consistent with known VAERS under-ascertainment bias."

5/ "Comparing our age-stratified VFRs with published age-stratified coronavirus infection fatality rates (IFR) suggests the risks of COVID vaccines and boosters outweigh the benefits in children, young adults, and older adults with low occupational risk...

6/ "... or previous coronavirus exposure. Our findings raise important questions about current COVID mass vaccination strategies and warrant further investigation and review. "
