yeah, the media will no doubt blow this up and scare people for clicks, like they always do, but all vaccines carry minimal risk, and it is a part of taking a vaccine. you have to realize there's an epsilon that will be killed by any vaccine. it's just a part of the process.

if you were to avoid all risk completely, you'd have to avoid all vaccines. none of them are 100% safe.

so, it stands to reason that if you vaccinate 10,000 people in a trial then a couple of them will die from it. that's not a reason to stop the trials, and not a reason to avoid the vaccine. it's just bad luck.

as an individual, you need to weigh those risks yourself and determine what you think is the best choice. but, the numbers are clear enough - if you're older, it's worth the risk. if you're younger, it's probably not. if you're a child, it's absolutely not.
